Residents pass by a poor kampong area on the banks of the Winongo River in Pakuncen subdistrict, Wirobrajan district, Yogyakarta, on Thursday (2/2). Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) released in Jakarta on Wednesday, the Gini ratio in Yogyakarta in September 2016 was the highest in Indonesia, namely 0.425.
The government has set three major policies to address wealth inequality amid the emergence of social anxiety.
Inequality has thus far been a problem with difficulties reducing it despite various efforts. The Gini ratio remains slightly below 0.4, the highest since our independence.
