ANALYSIS OF NON POOR HOUSEHOLDS HAVE RECEIVED CONDITIONAL CASH TRANSFER

Abstract

Poverty is a major problem faced by developing countries like Indonesia. The Indonesian government has implemented several poverty reduction programs. Program Keluarga |Harapan (PKH) is one of the poverty reduction programs introduced by the government in 2007. This program provides conditional cash transfers (CCT) to beneficiaries of the PKH initiative. However, there are still many things that need to be improved from this PKH program. One of them is a large number of non-poor households that benefited from the PKH initiative, even though the conditions for recipients of the PKH program in Indonesia were designed for poor households. This study analyzed what factors caused non-poor households to receive benefits from the Conditional Cash Transfer program. The results obtained from the Probit Logit Regression model using National Socio-Economic Survey ( Susenas ) data in 2013, 2014 and 2017, demonstrated that living in a rural area, old age, and having many family members significantly influenced the disbursement of benefits from the PKH (CCT) program.
