Abstract

Poverty is a dynamic, diverse, and multidimensional concept. Its definition has evolved over time, moving from a monetary focus to a multidimensional perspective. Although poverty reduction has long been a critical issue, few studies have examined the role of the internet in addressing multidimensional poverty. To bridge this gap in the literature, this study explores the impact of internet access on multidimensional poverty in Indonesia, using data from the 2023 Susenas survey. Based on Propensity Score Matching results, evidence shows that internet access negatively affects multidimensional poverty. This research underscores the importance of internet access, highlighting the need for policies to address the digital divide.

Bahasa Abstract

Kemiskinan adalah konsep yang dinamis, beragam, dan multidimensi. Definisi kemiskinan terus berubah seiring perkembangan zaman, mulai dari secara moneter hingga multidimensi. Walaupun mengatasi kemiskinan sudah menjadi isu yang krusial, hanya sedikit studi yang telah menganalisis peran internet dalam kemiskinan multidimensi. Untuk mengisi kesenjangan literatur, penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pengaruh internet terhadap kemiskinan multidimensi di Indonesia menggunakan data survei Susenas 2023. Berdasarkan hasil Propensity Score Matching, terdapat bukti bahwa internet berdampak negatif terhadap kemiskinan multidimensi. Penelitian ini berimplikasi pada pentingnya akses internet sehingga kebijakan untuk mengatasi kesenjangan digital menjadi penting.
