STRATEGI POLITIK DAN PEMBERDAYAAN DALAM PENANGGULANGAN MASALAH KEMISKINAN

Abstract

Poverty reduction as a part of social problems that is latent, complex, multi-dimensional and universal is still the main agenda, especially in developing countries including Indonesia and Malaysia, so it requires appropriate policy choices and demands understanding. and strategic thinking in handling it. Development programs directed at the poor, both carried out by the government (public) and private (private), including the optimization of the role of social workers in social engineering are still faced with real challenges. Development carried out in a country contains consequences for the emergence of various social problems, including poverty which moves very progressively. This condition is a challenge that needs to be answered both conceptually and in action programs. Optimizing the role of social workers in carrying out effective social engineering is certainly inseparable from human skills in identifying social, economic and political dimensions, so that their movements work in synergy with institutional empowerment efforts and the real conditions of the poor who will be empowered.
