The Central Statistics Agency (BPS) recorded 3.83 million impoverished people (10.93%) out of the total population in Central Java in March 2022.

The number of impoverished people in the province led by Governor Ganjar Pranowo decreased by 102,570 compared to September 2021. This figure also decreased by 278,310 compared to March 2021. Thus, the poverty rate in Central Java in March 2022 decreased by 32 basis points (bps) compared to September 2021 and also decreased by 86 bps compared to March 2021.

Despite the decrease, the poverty rate in Central Java is still higher than before the Covid-19 pandemic. The number of impoverished people in the province with Semarang as its capital was recorded at 3.68 million (10.58%) in September 2019.

The issue of poverty in a region is not only about the number and percentage of impoverished people, but also the depth and severity of poverty must be considered.

Central Java's Poverty Depth Index (P1) in March 2022 was 1.771. This figure is lower than that of September 2021 (1.938) and March 2021 (1.911). This means that the average disparity in expenditure of each impoverished person relative to the poverty line has decreased.

Central Java's Poverty Severity Index (P2) in March 2022 was 0.416. This figure is lower than that of September 2021 (0.459) and March 2021 (0.450). This means that the distribution of expenditure among the impoverished population has also decreased.
