Influence of motivation, internal control structure and women economic empowerment on poverty reduction implication on improvement of productivity

Abstract

Poverty is a global problem, often linked to needs, difficulties and shortcomings in many circumstances. Some people may understand this term subjective and comparative, while others see it in terms of moral and evaluative, and others understand it from a scientific point of view [1-4]. This poverty problem always accompanies the development process undertaken by each country. Poverty is a major problem facing developing countries including Indonesia. As a multi dimensional social phenomenon, poverty not only deals with economic dimensions but also deals with structural, psychological, cultural, ecological and other factors. The number of poor people is likely to increase, and it is undeniable that most victims of poverty are women and children [5-8]. There are still many women experiencing discrimination in various aspects of social, cultural as well as economic. Village women are particularly vulnerable Women need to be involved in planning, implementing activities, and evaluating and analyzing the impact of development. Nevertheless, the symptoms of poverty still show a real figure [6-10]. Regency, Subang, Indramayu and Cirebon are the North Coast Area of West Java where coastal areas tend to be higher poverty level [11-15].
