According to a report by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in September 2022, the number of impoverished people in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) reached 463,630, equivalent to 11.49% of its total population.

In terms of percentage, DIY has the highest poverty rate on Java Island. However, in terms of the number of people, DIY has the fewest impoverished residents.

Here is a breakdown of the number of impoverished people in the provinces of Java Island in September 2022, ordered from largest to smallest:

1. East Java: 4.24 million people
2. West Java: 4.05 million people
3. Central Java: 3.86 million people
4. Banten: 829,660 people
5. Jakarta: 494,930 people
6. Yogyakarta: 463,630 people

Next, here is the poverty rate on Java Island in September 2022, ordered from highest to lowest:

1. Yogyakarta: 11.49%
2. Central Java: 10.98%
3. East Java: 10.49%
4. West Java: 7.98%
5. Banten: 6.24%
6. Jakarta: 4.61%

Responding to the above data, the Yogyakarta Provincial Government stated that the condition of Yogyakarta's society cannot be judged solely based on the poverty indicator.

"Although statistically recorded as the poorest province in Java, in terms of Life Expectancy (AHH), Happiness Index (IP), Schooling Expectancy (HLS), and Social Welfare Index (IKS), DIY remains the highest-ranking in Indonesia," said the DIY Provincial Government in a press release on its official website, Friday (20/1/2023).

"Logically, if truly impoverished, this would be reinforced by the fact of high dropout rates, high unemployment, and low life expectancy and happiness index. However, this is not the case in DIY; in fact, education, health, life expectancy, and happiness remain among the best in Indonesia, not just on Java Island," claimed the DIY Provincial Government.

Similar sentiments were expressed by Dr. Murti Lestari, an academic from Kristen Duta Wacana University, Yogyakarta.

"Poverty, happiness, and life expectancy are different terminologies. People can have low expenses but be happy when neighborhood harmony is good, brotherhood is good, there's no fighting over sustenance, and so on. Those people are happy and then live long; that's possible," said Murti on the official website of the DIY Provincial Government.
