Abstract

Poverty is a global issue faced by many countries in the world, including Indonesia. In the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), poverty reduction is an issue that receives primary attention. One important aspect to support poverty alleviation strategies is the availability of accurate poverty data. The Central Statistics Agency (BPS), as an institution that plays a role in providing poverty data, has conducted the National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) since 1976 to calculate poverty rates using the concept of a person's ability to meet basic needs (basic needs approach). With this approach, poverty is viewed as an economic inability to meet food and non-food needs as measured by expenditure. In general, poverty rates in South Aceh during 2018 - 2024 fluctuated both in terms of number and percentage. In terms of percentage, the poor population in South Aceh Regency has decreased from 2018 to 2020, then increased in 2021. The increase in the number and percentage of poor people in 2021 is a consequence of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic that began in 2020. Along with the adaptation of society to the Covid conditions and the increasing number of people who have been vaccinated against Covid, people's economic activities have gradually returned to normal so that the number and percentage of poor people have decreased in 2022 to 2024. In 2024, the percentage of poor people in South Aceh Regency was 12.02 percent.
