Strategies for Achieving SDGs on the Main Points of Poverty Eradication: A Case Study of ASEAN Member States

Abstract

This research aims to support the main goal of SDG’s, it’s mean poverty eradication. The instruments used in this research to eradicate poverty are through increasing the value of the Corruption Perceptions Index, the Human Development Index, and the Giving Index. This research uses a quantitative panel data method with a Random Effect Model. The results show that the Corruption Perceptions Index, the Human Development Index, and the Giving Index have a significant negative effect on poverty both partially and simultaneously. The results of this study show that poverty alleviation requires contributions from all parties, namely the government, fellow citizens, and even the poor themselves. The government, as the holder of power, is able to make policies to eradicate poverty. These policies will succeed if there is no corruption. Excessively charitable individuals provide assistance to those in need, thus creating a more even distribution and welfare of the needy population. The poor themselves must also strive to improve their quality to escape poverty.
