Shacks line the banks of the Kerendang River in the Penjaringan area, North Jakarta, on Tuesday (15/01/2019). Such buildings along riverbanks and waterways in Greater Jakarta are believed to be a cause of flooding.

JAKARTA, KOMPAS —  The poverty rate, depth and severity indices fell in September 2018, along with the Gini ratio. However, food poverty and urban-rural inequality must be resolved.

Statistics Indonesia (BPS) said the poverty rate fell from 10.12 percent in September 2017 to 9.66 percent in September 2018. During the same period, the number of poor people in the country also decreased by 910,000 from 26.58 million to 25.67 million.
