Abstract:
Accelerating economic development in order to achieve village independence is crucial. The
principle and most important relationship between rural and urban areas is to utilize a village’s
economic resources and prioritize economic activities to the fullest. Strengthening economic
organizations, such as through the establishment of Village-Owned Enterprises, is one of the
phases that needs to be carried out when developing villages. This research aims to analyze
poverty alleviation through the empowerment of Village Owned Enterprises. This was done in
South Banawa Sub-district, Donggala Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The number of
samples used was 100 respondents. The results of the study show that the poverty line (IDR
291,011) was greater than the average income of the population in 2020 (IDR 231,000), meaning
that almost all of the population was categorized as poor. The results also show that the
dominant factors that affected the incidence of poverty include: household income, household
consumption expenditure, and the existence of Village-Owned Enterprises. Therefore,
government policies were needed to help the population solve development problems in order for
income to increase. |
