This study aims to measure the effectiveness of the Family Hope Program (PKH) in improving the welfare of poor households in Bekasi Regency. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study focuses on an in-depth understanding of the perceptions and experiences of program beneficiaries. Data was collected through both closed and open-ended questionnaires distributed to 60 respondents, consisting of 50 Beneficiary Families (KPM) and 10 social facilitators. Data analysis was conducted using quantitative descriptive methods for the closed questionnaires, and thematic analysis for the open-ended responses and document study. The results show that more than 75% of respondents felt a positive impact in the field of education, while 72% regularly accessed health services such as Posyandu. Economically, 68% of respondents stated that the PKH assistance helped meet their basic needs, although it was not sufficient for long-term needs. Regarding implementation, 80% of respondents expressed satisfaction with the social facilitation provided, although administrative procedures and limited access in remote areas remain challenges. The conclusion of this study indicates that PKH has a significant social impact on poor households. However, the program’s effectiveness still needs improvement through streamlined administrative processes, adjustment of the aid amount, and greater attention to hard-to-reach areas so that the program’s benefits can be felt more evenly and sustainably.

Poverty in Makassar City is a multidimensional problem that not only covers economic, but also social and cultural aspects. The Family Hope Program (PKH) was initiated as a conditional social assistance intervention to ease the burden on poor families through increased access to education and health. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of PKH in improving the welfare of poor families in Makassar, identify socio-cultural factors that affect the success of the program, and explore the obstacles faced by beneficiaries and social companions. A descriptive qualitative approach was used with research subjects including 10 beneficiary families and 3 social companions. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and document studies, then analyzed thematically using an inductive approach. The results of the study show that PKH contributes significantly to reducing the economic burden of families, especially in meeting children's educational and health needs. The success of the program is influenced by the role of social companions who are communicative and adaptive to the local cultural context. However, complicated bureaucracy, limited access to public services, inaccurate recipient data, and social stigma are the main obstacles that hinder the effectiveness of the program. Awareness and active participation of beneficiaries in carrying out program obligations are also the key to success. The research concludes that PKH needs to be supported by simplifying administrative procedures, strengthening the capacity of companions, and culturally sensitive approaches to increase the impact of programs in poverty alleviation in Makassar City.  

According to Article 11 Paragraph 2 of Law number 13 of 2011 concerning Handling of the Poor, the government and regional governments can provide assistance and/or empowerment based on integrated data that has been created by the minister. DTKS is household based, but the poverty alleviation program uses social assistance and community empowerment based on families and individuals. The Family Hope Program (PKH) and Social Food Assistance are examples of family-based social assistance and community empowerment. Regional governments face several problems with population administration which is still carried out manually, using population registers, and local people are not aware of the poor administration system and do not report it. If population data changes. Therefore, it is necessary to apply information technology to certain areas in managing population administration, which is very important considering the population continues to grow.

This study analyzes the differences between the neoliberal and social democratic paradigms in poverty alleviation policies in Indonesia, by adding an Islamic Economic perspective as an alternative. The neoliberal paradigm focuses on free market mechanisms, deregulation, and minimizing the role of the state, but often exacerbates social inequality. In contrast, the social democratic paradigm balances the role of the market and state intervention through resource redistribution and protection of vulnerable groups through sustainable social programs. Islamic economics offers a complementary approach oriented towards the principles of distributive justice, balance, and solidarity, by integrating spiritual values ​​into socio-economic policies. A qualitative approach is used in this study, with policy analysis of programs such as the Family Hope Program (PKH) and the National Health Insurance (JKN). The results show that the social democratic paradigm is more effective in reducing poverty systemically than neoliberalism, especially through increasing access to education, health, and social protection. However, budget constraints, corruption, and infrastructure gaps remain significant challenges. The Islamic Economic perspective emphasizes the importance of zakat, waqf, and infaq as instruments of wealth redistribution that have the potential to strengthen inclusive and sustainable poverty alleviation policies. This study recommends strengthening the synergy between the paradigm of social democracy and the values ​​of Islamic Economics to create policies that are more effective, equitable, and oriented towards the welfare of society holistically.  

Poverty remains one of the main problems in Indonesia that affects various aspects of people's lives. This study analyses poverty alleviation through the Family Hope Program (PKH) with a graduation approach towards independent prosperity. Through a systematic review of 17 journals from 2020 to 2024, it was found that PKH plays an important role in improving the welfare of poor families, especially in access to education and health. While the programme has shown positive results, significant challenges remain, such as economic dependency and limited access to basic services. Factors such as social capital, community support and the role of PKH facilitators prove crucial in achieving self-sufficient graduation. The results of this study suggest the need for a more holistic approach to empower beneficiary families to become more economically independent.

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a social assistance program aimed at improving the quality of life of underprivileged families through access to education, healthcare, and economic welfare. This article explores the implementation of Islamic character education within PKH, focusing on rural communities in Dawuhan Village. The study aims to analyze how Islamic values such as honesty, responsibility, hard work, and solidarity are applied in the daily lives of beneficiary families (KPM). The research employs a qualitative approach with data collection techniques including interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that Islamic character education in PKH serves as an effective tool to empower underprivileged families, not only by building individual morality but also by enhancing social cohesion and economic welfare. However, challenges such as low community participation, limited infrastructure, and cultural differences remain significant barriers. Recommendations from this study include enhancing the capacity of PKH facilitators, integrating Islamic values into educational modules, and fostering collaboration with religious institutions and local governments to ensure program sustainability. Islamic character education in PKH is expected to become a strategic solution for fostering sustainable social and economic transformation in rural communities

This study uses a qualitative research method with data collection techniques using observation, interviews and documentation. Research informants are determined purposively. Factors for the implementation of PKH are good communication between implementers and PKH recipients, as well as with the support of resources that have been provided by the government, both from human resources and financial resources. The open attitude of program implementers in providing information on the use of funds so that they are not misused. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor for the implementation of PKH is that the data on beneficiaries of the Family Hope Program (PKH) is not on target. The implication of this policy is that assistance is still needed for PKH beneficiary communities to be further improved, as well as the existence of a bureaucratic structure in each region or environment of PKH beneficiary communities so that data updates can be well integrated, and carried out periodically and sustainably.

Dinas Sosial (Dinsos) mewajibkan ruamh tangga miskin mengikuti persyaratan yang ditetapkan pada Dinsos Kota Binjai. Adapun ketetapan tersebut adalah rumah tangga yang sesuai dengan kriteria yang telah ditetapkan Dinsos dan memenuhi syarat. Penerimaan Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) sering kali tidak tepat sasaran, menyebabkan ketidakmampuan program dalam mencapai tujuan utamanya, yaitu mengurangi kemiskinan. Masalah ini dapat berasal dari beberapa faktor yang kompleks. Pertama, proses identifikasi dan verifikasi penerima PKH kurang akurat atau rentan terhadap penyalahgunaan atau manipulasi (Kemensos, 2021). Agar tujuan ini dapat berhasil, maka dibutuhkan sebuah metode yang dapat digunakan untuk pembobotan dan pengurutan setiap komponen yang ada, mulai dari yang paling tinggi hingga rendah yaitu Multi Factor Evaluation Process (MFEP).

Indonesia sebagai negara berkembang juga masih dihinggapi oleh permasalahan kemiskinan. Pemerintah telah melakukan berbagai terobosan dalam pengentasasan kemiskinan, salah satunya melalui penyaluran dana desa. Dana desa (APBDesa) digunakan untuk: penyelenggaraan pemerintah desa, pelaksanaan pembangunan desa, pembinaan kemasyarakatan, pemberdayaan masyarakat desa, serta penanggulangan bencana. Hal ini sejalan dengan tujuan pembangunan desa, peningkatan kesejahteraan masyarakat serta pengentasan kemiskinan. Kemiskinan diindikasikan melalui Keluarga penerima manfaat (KPM) yang menerima Program Keluarga harapan (PKH) dan Bantuan Pangan Non Tunai (BPNT). Uji Chow dan Uji Hausman test merekomendasikan Fixed Effect Model, sedangkan Uji Lagrange Multiplier merekomendasikan Common Effect Model. Determinasi dari ketiganya menunjukkan bahwa belanja melalui APBDesa hanya relatif kecil dapat menjelaskan penurunan tingkat kemiskinan di Kota Lhokseumawe. Oleh karena itu, Pemerintah Kota Lhokseumawe harus lebih meningkatkan proses pendampingan kepada desa khususnya dalam perencanaan belanja yang berorientasi pada pengentasan kemiskinan karena masih terdapat belanja desa yang tidak bersentuhan langsung dengan program penanggulangan kemiskinan.

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a program that provides attention to the community, especially the health category, education category and social welfare category for poor families. The Family Hope Program (PKH) aims to reduce poverty and improve the welfare of the Indonesian population. Due to the large number of residents who want to register themselves as PKH recipients, there are residents who manipulate data or claim to be poor people in order to get PKH. If this continues to happen, and there is no preventive action, it is not impossible that many residents are not right in receiving PKH provided by the Government. One of the efforts that can be made is to test the classification of prospective PKH recipients in Bah Sorma Village. This study aims to classify prospective recipients of the Family Hope Program in Bah Sorma Village. The dataset used is data on prospective PKH recipients in Bah Sorma Village, Pematang Siantar City.

The government makes a program with the aim of prospering the community, one of these programs is the Family Hope Program, where the community receiving the assistance is called KPM, this study aims to answer about the effectiveness of the family hope program that has been made by the government, especially in East Tanjungpinang District. The research method uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, using the theory put forward by Sutrisno (2010) which includes program understanding, target accuracy, timeliness, achievement of goals and real changes. The results of the research on the effectiveness of the Family Hope Program for Beneficiary Families in the East Tanjungpinang District of Tanjungpinang City seen from the target of the program policy are correct in accordance with the regulations made, because they follow the DTKS which will be identified in accordance with the data submitted, the timing of the implementation of PKH assistance has indeed been determined by the central government, when it will be disbursed, but overall it can be said that the timeliness of the distribution of assistance has not been maximized, because sometimes the assistance disbursed by the government can advance from the date set by the government. The overall goal of the program to improve the welfare of KPM can be said to be ineffective because the achievement of numbers in 2023 can be said to have not been achieved.  Because it is seen from the direct field that there are still many people who need assistance, and most likely if it is recorded in detail, it falls into the category of those entitled as KPM participants, seen from the real changes provided by the program, it has not been optimal, but it has been enough to help the KPM community with the assistance provided, it can be seen that there are several communities as KPM who are able to manage the assistance provided by PKH for entrepreneurship. The suggestions that can be submitted are, the government, especially the East Tanjungpinang District government and PKH supervisors to continue to strive to advance the community.
