While there are many people in the middle and lower levels who are struggling with their economic condition and getting worse because the competition is very tight and increasingly sophisticated technologi domination. The existence of free competition and monopoly also be one of the proponents of the poverty in the economic underclass. There are many poor people who are working hard to change their living standards, but is still obstructed by various factors. Based on data from the Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the percentage of poverty population of Indonesia in 2012 reached 15.12% in rural areas and 8.78% in urban. Meanwhile, Indonesia's economic growth has increased from 6.1% in 2010 to 6.4% in 2011. Based on the economic growth, prosperity numbers should increase offset by reductions in poverty, but many factors that cause poverty is still a focus of work for the government. In the end the social gap between the rich and poor widened. Social inequality can be interpreted as a gap or the inequality of access to or use of the available resources. These resources can include primary needs, such as education, health, housing, employment opportunities and seek, can be secondary needs, such as business development tool, a means of struggle for human rights, means of political channels, fulfillment of career development, and others. Social inequality is becoming one of the urgent global challenges. The occurrence of crime, such as robbery, theft, and pickpocketing is one of the effects of poverty that hit. The unrest and turmoil going on in the various regions. All of this is the impact of social inequality. Rapid population growth and poor government policies are less able to prosper communities thus worsen social conditions.
Subsidies for the poor and cash aid for those, are not narrow the bridge between the elite and the poor. There are many unemployed, the homeless and street children. Many things can be done to alleviate poverty. But that does not take swift. We must work together to help fix the quality up of education and skills among the communities, so they are able to create innovation and creativity. As young people, we must have the courage to make helpful creations from this global challenge, such as makes teacher voluntary community for street children, raise funds to help the homeless in order to receive assistance or donations to get a place to stay. In addition, government policy also very important in helping the stability of the social conditions of the country. When I became a leader of the country, I will focusing most of the government officials to work directly to the public. Hear critics directly and got great aspirations of the people to make good policy. Young leader is the one of youth people who care a lot about his country and universe with real action to make the world better.
