Indonesians believe that a lack of hard work (internal factor) is the main reason for falling into poverty. 34% of respondents acknowledged this, while another 9% cited useless talent (internal factor) as the cause of poverty.
However, external factors are more dominant. People believe that coming from a poor family (22%), bad luck (16%), and an uneducated family (11%) are the main reasons for someone becoming poor.
The respondents' answers align with World Bank findings. Inequality of opportunity from birth contributes to income inequality in the future. Poverty due to circumstances beyond an individual's control is a significant factor.
