Abstract

A regional poverty profile can be deceptive if it does not treat people with the same standard of living in different regions the same way. This is particularly important if the profile is being used to guide regional priorities in formulating antipoverty policies. A new regional poverty profile for Indonesia in 1990 is constructed which tries to assure that the poverty lines used for different regions reflect the same purchasing power over basic consumption needs. A wide range of poverty measures is presented. We also examine some proximate determinants of the regional poverty profile and the regional variation in inequality.
