Addressing Inequality
The government is aware that the issue of rising inequality is an extremely urgent issue to be addressed. Targets for reducing inequality have also been established in the 2015–2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN), namely reducing the Gini index of 0.41 in 2014 to 0.36 in 2019. However, the decline in the Gini index since 2014 until now is not considered significant; the Gini index only slightly decreased from 0.410 in March 2014 to 0.397 in March 2016. On the other hand, the policy options that exist to reduce inequality are still very limited and not supported by evidence that is comprehensive enough. In that regard, The SMERU Research Institute, in collaboration with the Ford Foundation, conducted a study of Policy to Reduce Inequality in Indonesia from April 2016 to June 2017.
