Abstract
This study aims at analyzing the impact of household characteristics on increasing the chances of households getting out of poverty. Independent variables in this study consist of nine household characteristics (both parents’ education, employment status, and job sector; the family size, location of residence, and social assistance received). The analytical method used is logit regression. The results showed that four out of the nine variables have a significantly positive impact on increasing the chances of getting households out of poverty: residence location, fathers working in non-agriculture sector, mothers working in non-agriculture sector, and mothers working in general. Family size has a significantly negative impact. Thus, the government should promote SME (Small Medium Enterprises) development in rural areas that support agriculture production since it will increase the chances of households escaping poverty.
