As many as 18 million of our people are living below poverty line, and that is shocking. But, put it this way, there are some structural and non-structural obstacles coming in our way. 1. Geographically, Indonesia is very much challenging in term of equal income distribution, and considering that our people tends to scatered over rather than packed into one area, always means a higher cost for government for developing infrasturcture. 2. For some reason, decentralization gave some bad effects, where areas whose natural-resource or source of income is limited, will be the most stung by this. Most poor people live in overpopulated-island of Java, and this is another problem. However, with economic growth continues to rise steadily, there'll be time for us to enjoy prosperity with some condition : 1. The level should reach at least 7.5 % annually 2. Better distribution of income 3. Convincing stability Andy, you are right. As many as 18 million of our people are living below poverty line, and that is shocking.

Indonesia is still a poverty-stricken nation and the politicians should do something about this problem instead of keeping all the money in their own pockets.
