Non poor households

A policy of high rice prices can increase paddy farm incomes but also cause a rise in rice expenditures for farm households. Such a policy is needed to stimulate production but can harm rice consumers, especially poor families. We surveyed 284 paddy farmers in Gantar Sub-District, Indramayu Regency, Indonesia to analyze the impact of increasing rice prices on farmers’ net incomes, including poor paddy farmers. We found that a price increase benefits farmer if the price transmission elasticity is more than 0.2 for non-poor paddy farmers or 0.6 for poor paddy farmers.

Some analysts caution against a low saving rate. They argue that high capital investment leads to higher economic growth and a higher future standard of living. But if capital investment is not financed by national saving it has to be financed by borrowing abroad. 20 Persistent borrowing from abroad builds up international liabilities and implies increasing flow of funds will be sent abroad as interest and dividends. National saving is composed of two components: private saving and public saving.

Education should be free and compulsory as school fees often pose insurmountable blocks to children receiving an education. When poor families are forced to make difficult choices about household expendi- tures, school is often the first thing dropped, and daughters are often the first casualties. National education plans should work towards ending school fees and other hidden costs as part of well- planned educational reform strategies.

The estimated proportion uninsured was higher among the poor (22%) and near-poor (17%) compared with non-poor residents (4%). Poverty status is determined by household size at the time of the survey and household income in the calendar year preceding the survey. A household of four people was considered “poor” (below the federal poverty guideline) in the 2008 survey if total income in 2007 was below $21,000 (see Table 13, Technical Notes).

These interactions are discussed further in section I.B below. Factors such as rapid population growth, inequitable access to productive assets, especially land, the neglect of agriculture outside high potential areas, and the impact of external shocks, combine in certain areas to produce and reproduce poverty. Limited alternative non-farm income opportunities reinforce this situation. Poor households tend to respond either by migrating or by other options such as an expansion of farming activity to open new lands to cultivation, which may increase the pressure on natural resources.
