The number of poor people currently living in Indonesia varies depending on the definition we use. According the Ministry of National Development Planning (BAPPENAS) there were 39 Million People living below the national poverty line in 2006. This number increases to 116 Million if the poverty line is set at US$2 day. However, the number of poor is only 16 Million if the poverty line is considered at US$1/day.
The government aims to reduce the number of people living below the national poverty line to 18.8 Million by 2009.
Note: The methodology for estimatiing the number of poor using the national poverty line was changed in 1996.
