| Summary: | The outbreak of the unprecedented Covid-19 pandemic resulted in an economic downturn that declined household income. Bali experienced the most severe impact because of the deepest economic contraction during the last two decades. The (GoI) provided so many schemes for social assistance. However, it was the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) which is designed as the center of excellence and the largest comprehensive assistance for reducing the burden of poor households even before pandemics. This study objective is to investigate the impact of PKH on the household poverty status during the Covid-19 pandemic. The data was analyzed from the result of Susenas 2020. Further, Ordinal Logistic Regression Model (OLRM) is estimated to evaluate the impact of PKH. The findings showed a positive and significant impact of PKH on the household poverty levels. A household that received PKH also has a significant positive odds ratio to escape the poor class compared to others who are not. Thereby, this research proposed a recommendation to maintain the sustainability of PKH as one of the effective poverty alleviation programs in Indonesia. |
