National Poverty Problems
Commission work for TNP2K or The National Team for the Acceleration of Poverty Reduction (Tim Nasional Percepatan Penanggulangan Kemiskinan or TNP2K) was created to promote coordination across ministries/agencies to improve the implementation of poverty reduction programmes, improve the living standards of the poor and vulnerable, as well as reduce inequality among income groups. According to data from Asian Development Bank 10.1% of the population in Indonesia lived below the national poverty line in 2021. The proportion of employed population below $1.90 purchasing power parity a day in 2021 is 2.9%. For every 1,000 babies born in Indonesia in 2020, 23 die before their 5th birthday.
