Poverty, inequality and social protection: Lessons from The Indonesian Crisis
The book Poverty, Inequality and Social Protection: Lessons from the Indonesian Crisis analyzes the profound social and economic impacts of the 1997–1998 Asian financial crisis on Indonesia’s poor and vulnerable populations. It examines how the crisis deepened poverty and widened inequality, while also prompting the development of social protection mechanisms as a response to economic shocks. Through empirical data and policy analysis, the book explores the effectiveness of safety net programs, government interventions, and community-based initiatives in mitigating hardship. It highlights key lessons on the importance of building resilient social protection systems that can respond quickly to crises and sustain long-term poverty reduction. Ultimately, the book underscores that social protection is not merely a temporary relief measure, but a crucial pillar for achieving equitable and sustainable development.
