Poverty is a key agenda in sustainable development. However, poverty is a complex issue with many dimensions, making poverty alleviation feel like treading water.

The COVID-19 pandemic, which swept the globe, including Indonesia, caused extreme poverty to increase to 4% in 2021. This figure is higher than the previous year and also higher than before the pandemic, as shown in the graph.

In March 2022, 26.16 million (9.54%) of Indonesia's population lived below the poverty line. This means that 9-10 out of every 100 Indonesians were living in poverty in March 2022.

Specifically, 12.29% of the rural population and 7.5% of the urban population lived below the poverty line.

Individuals are categorized as poor if their expenditure on food and non-food items is less than Rp505,470 per month in March 2022.

In March 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic, 9.22% of the population lived below the poverty line. This figure even surged to 10.19% in September 2020.

Note: Estimated conversion of US$1.9 PPP with a 2017 baseline of Rp10,195.6 and in 2021 US$1.9 PPP of Rp11,941.1.
