Although development aims to improve the welfare of the people, it should not be denied that in some countries development often gives birth to victims. This is the way it works in our country as well. Since Indonesia's independence 72 years ago, it turns out that dilakoni development has not been able to satisfy all the people. Development, sometimes giving birth to dissatisfaction among nationals. Even not infrequently the development that was held also created a fairly sharp gap between the citizens. There is a huge gap between "the haves" and "they have not", it may be common to observe a development process.
If we narrow this conversation to the conditions that are being created now, then like it or not, the development we do, its form cannot be separated from the problems that confront it. Development that keeps "pro-growth", "pro employ" and "pro-poor" as the mainstay of the Sby-Boediono Government, its feelings are still not able to answer what the people hope. Macroeconomic growth is very encouraging, but this achievement has not been able to solve the problem of poverty to completion.
Employment development too. The ability to expand employment opportunities for society is not as desirable. In fact, which often leads to problems is still high the unemployment rate. The queue of job seekers, every year always shows a significant increase in number. As a result if there are government agencies that open employment opportunities, then we see the sights are pathetic. The job seekers have been in the morning queuing to register. More sadly, the number of employees required for only 200 people, but who signed up to thousands of people.
This is the fact of life that is before us. While relating to the war against poverty, also still not been answered to completion. Let alone able to free the people from poverty, about the "database" of poverty was, until now still be an endless debate. As an example, we look at the data used by the Government and the data referred by members of the House of Representatives in determining the number of poor people entitled to a temporary community direct aid program. The government turned out to provide data far beyond the calculation and announcement of the Central Bureau of Statistics. This situation, of course, makes the members of the House of Representatives bewildered.
From here then the question arises: why the Government inflates the number of poor people, whereas so far the Government always struggles to reduce the number of poor people? What is behind the Government's suggestion that impressed "mark up" the number of poor people in this country? This answer is important we get in the future we can behave in the face of the poor themselves.
In this country, people's screams almost every time we always hear. In addition to the screams created because of the painful development policy, it turns out that the shrieking screams arise also from those eroded by the pace of development that sometimes does not side with the poor. If now much discussed about the impact of fuel price increases for the fate and the lives of the poor, of course, his intelligent solutions not just to compensate through Direct Human Resources assistance program. There must be another, more systemic and "early detection" step rather than just a "fire brigade". This is actually one of the views in providing solutions to the screams of the people who sounded increasingly echoed in real life on the field.
