May 8, 2025 | Other Activities

On the other hand, official data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) shows that Indonesia’s poverty rate as of September 2024 is 8.57 percent or about 24.06 million people.

Why different? It is important to understand wisely that the two data do not contradict each other. The discrepancies arise due to the presence of differences in the poverty line standards used and for different purposes.
