Causes and effects of poverty

In various media, especially newspapers and many articles that provide data on poverty in Indonesia, in March 2016, the number of unemployed
increased to 28.01 million, or 10.86% of the entire population of Indonesia. Although Indonesia is not included in the 25 poorest countries in the
world. But from these data show that poverty in Indonesia is still quite large. What causes poverty in Indonesia?

I would like to present the causes of poverty. I strongly believe that poverty is caused by a lack of quality education, a need to having a lot of
money in stakeholder people who hold capitalism value and a lack of caring with poor people.

The first cause of poverty is a lack of quality education.

Based on prof. Rhenald Kasali in his book titled self driving published in mizan on december 2015, said that My experience as educators find
that children are smart in school is not necessarily smart in society. and it is the biggest failure occurs in children who are raised in schools
memorize. whereas, memorizing is not good thinking. memorization is not a good way of thinking.

the question is what is the low quality of education that rote methods that have been used in education? and is it causing an increase in poverty?

By learning to use these memorization will not be able to solve the problem of social problems such as economics, politics, technology, health,
law and others. Moreover, the problem of society is very dynamic and varied, evolving quite rapidly troubleshoot problems that arise. And it
needs a capability not just memorize the subject. If the education system using rote methods, it is ensured that the students produced also has
the ability memorizing. Which of course they will have difficulty in solving the problem is quite complex.

Of course, to solve the problem they need to work. For instance people wants to be a lawyer, it is necessary to have the ability in the field of
law. If they only learn to use memorizing, and when confronted with legal problems growing, how can it solve? As formerly Muslims use to cut
the hands of law, but the law at the present time is not used because the problem was more complex conditions, even forward any law will be
different from now. If we can not solve problems in the field of work, the consequence is that we must get out of the job. And of course when
we do not have a job or income, we can not make a living that over time it came to pass poverty.

The second cause of poverty is a need to having a lot of money in stakeholder people who hold capitalism value

As we know capitalists have a principle to take advantage as much for theirself. Where this is show the resources are managed by people who
are smart, not just smart in memorizing, but smart in managing existing resources such as oil, coal, gas, oil palm, and others. Unfortunately
abundance was not shared with people lacking access. In fact, they continue to dredge these resources for themselves and their families like
soeharto families. If a lot of people who think like this, but resources are limited, they will compete to be the one who could have such limited
resources. And certainly not all of them could have these resources. Where certainly more people who do not get an abundance of resources,
and certainly many who live far from overflow or could be called poverty.

The last cause of poverty is a lack of caring with poor people

Many wealthy people who have no concern for the poor. Indeed, Muslims or any other kind people have a rule to exclude some wealth to the
poor. But imagine, in Muslims we are obliged to issue a charity that only 2.5% of our income. If the income of the rich 60 million a month, they
only charged 1.5 million rupiah to pay alms. And this can not make them aware to care for the poor. Due to liabilities issued 2.5% of income will
not cut the cost of their lifestyle. Even extreme there or a lot of rich people who do not want to spend the money for charity.

Not only rich people are not care with the poor. Even the government, too, proved to be many cases of corruption as a social aid fund corruption,
corruption cows, corruption al - Qur'an and others. Forms of government indifference is quite pathetic. How people will prosper if the
government is too greedy with the treasure?

Poverty does not only have a cause but also have the effect, where the effect has to be solved because it would affect the progress of a country,
including Indonesia. In my opinion, there are some effects of poverty, which is the growth of criminality, the improvement of unemployment
and the increase of the breakdown of morality especially prostitution.

The first effect is the growth of criminality

Jika salah satu penyebab dari kemiskinan yaitu banyak pemodal yang mengambil keuntungan sebanyak banyaknya dari sumber daya, sementara
banyak yang miskin dan pengangguran, dimana tidak ada tempat pekerjaan untuk mereka. Peluang besar orang orang pengangguran atau
miskin akan melakukan berbagai cara apapun untuk bertahan hidup seperti pencurian harta dari orang orang kaya, melakukan pembunuhan,
menculik dan mengancam anak anak orang kaya. Berdasarkan website resmi bps, menunjukkan bahwa adanya peningkatan kriminalitas dari
tahun 2014 hingga 2015. Pada tahun 2014, kriminalitas di indonesia ada 325.317 kasus. Dan pada tahun 2015 meningkat menjadi 352.936.
menurut mintarsih A. Latief, ahli kriminolog pada sebuah artikel berjudul kriminalitas di jakarta bakal meningkat di tahun 2016 y ang
dipublikasikan oleh website harian terbit.

If one of the causes of poverty are many investors who take advantage as much of the resource, while many poor and unemployed people,
where there is no place for their jobs. Great opportunities are unemployed or poor people will do everything possible to survive such as theft of
property of rich people, murder, kidnapping and threatening the children of the rich. Based on the official website bps, indicating that an increase
in crime from 2014 to 2015. In 2014, crime in Indonesia there are 325 317 cases. And in 2015 increased to 352 936. according Mintarsih A. Latif,
an expert criminologist in an article entitled "criminality in Jakarta will increase in 2016" published in website harian terbit.

The second effect is The improvement of unemployment

Jika kurangnya kualitas pendidikan dan serakahnya para pemegang saham menjadi penyebab dari kemiskinan,maka ini akan berdampak pada
peningkatan pengangguran. Sebab pertumbuhan jumlah populasi terutama populasi di Indonesia semakin meningkat. Sementara lowongan
pekerjaan sangat terbatas, hanya orang orang tertentu saja yang memiliki kemampuan yang ahli dibidangnya lah yang akan mendapatkan
pekerjaan tersebut. Dimana orang orang itu sangat sedikit yang berasal asli dari Indonesia. Seperti di freeport, banyak karyawan freeport yang
bukan berasal dari Indonesia, dan banyak perusahaan lainnya yang sudah tidak menggunakan pekerja dari Indonesia. Diakibatkan kurang nya
kualitas kemampuan pada pekerja. Dari total jumlah penduduk di Indoneseia yaitu 255 juta orang, yang mengangur ada 7 juta orang, data
tersebut berasal dari BPS dan website indonesia investments
If the lack of quality education and the greed of the shareholders to be the cause of poverty, then this will have an impact on the increase in
unemployment. For a growing number of the population, especially people in Indonesia is increasing. Meanwhile jobs are very limited, only
certain people have the ability skilled in the art who will get the job. Where people had very little original that comes from Indonesia. As in
freeport, freeport many employees who did not come from Indonesia, and many other companies that are not using workers from Indonesia.
Due to his lack of quality of skills of workers. Of the total population in Indoneseia ie 255 million people, the idle there are 7 million people, the
data derived from BPS and investments Indonesian website

The last effect is the increase of the breakdown of morality especially prostitution

Seperti yang kita tahu, pada tahun 2014 bulan juni walikota surabaya Tri Rismaharini, mengeluarkan kebijakan penutupan dolly. Dimana dolly
ini merupakan salah satu bisnis usaha prostitusi terbesar di Asia. Bukan hanya dolly saja yang ditutup melainkan seluruh usaha prostitusi ditutup
oleh mayor risma. Pada saat penutupan prostitusi tersebut, banyak masyarakat protes kepada mayor risma. Sebab mereka mendapatkan
penghasilan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan sehari hari hanya dari prostitusi tersebut. Ini menunjukkan efek dari kemiskinan salah satunya
peningkatan usaha prostitusi. Karena mereka tidak bisa bekerja dan memiliki kemampuan untuk bekerja, hanya memiliki modal yaitu dirinya
sendiri, dan menjualnya dengan cara prostitusi, hanya untuk mendapatkan penghasilan. Tetapi berkat kepedulian mayor risma terhadap
masyarakat surabaya yang bekerja di usaha prostitusi tersebut, mereka di berikan pekerjaan yang lain untuk menggantikan pekerjaan mereka
sebelumnya, seperti membuat usaha kecil mikro. Jika kemiskinan itu dibiarkan, maka akan banyak prostitusi dimana mana, dan itu akan
membuat moral masyarakat semakin rusak.

As we know, in 2014 June Surabaya mayor Tri Rismaharini, issued a closure policy dolly. This dolly where prostitution is one of the largest in Asia.
Not only doll closed but the whole business of prostitution shut down by a great charisma. At the close of prostitution, many people protested
the mayor charisma. Because they earn income to meet daily needs just from prostitution. It shows the effects of poverty one of them an
increase in prostitution. Because they can not work and have the ability to work, it has its own capital, and sell them by way of prostitution, just
to earn a living. But thanks to the charisma of major concern to the people of Surabaya who worked in prostitution, they were given another job
to replace their previous jobs, like making small and micro enterprises. If poverty is allowed, it will be a lot of prostitution everywhere, and it
would create a moral society is getting damaged.

Kesimpulan:

Jadi, itulah sebab dan efek dari kemiskinan. Sebab dari kemiskinan yaitu a lack of quality education, a need to having a lot of money in stakeholder
people who hold capitalism value and a lack of caring with poor people. Jika dibiarkan maka akan memberikan efek yang semakin besar seperti
the growth of criminality, the improvement of unemployment and the increase of the breakdown of morality especially prostitution.
