| Description |
ABSTRACTThe economy of Indonesia had come into the social and the political crisis since the second period in 1997. A number of social riots struke several towns in Indonesia. Consequently, the stability of the state was disturbed. It caused the efforts to economy recovery to be more and more difficult to do. Many others pointed out that the social riots were caused by inequality of economy. The purpose of this study is to find out the income inequality stage in Indonesia and wether the good income distribution inequality can ensure the stability of the state. The measurement method for income distribution used in this study is Gini coeficient and World Bank's criteria. The results of the study shows that the economic growth rose significantly during New Order (sociopolitical in Indonesia). While, the income distribution based on Gini Ratio and World Bank's criteria imply that Indonesia is included the category of low inequality. However, in thcstudy's period is found the distortion of Kuznets hypothesis and Ahluwalia's analysis on the change forms ofincome distribution. The low inequality doesn't reflect to another inequality situation such as poverty and absolute inequality. Therefore, the rising of economic growth and the low inequalit) during the study's period doesn't guarantee the stablity of politic. The studies about theincome distribution shouldn't use macroeconomics approach only, but also other approaches like microeconomics aspects.ABSTRAKEkonomi Indonesia telah mengalami krisis politik dan sosial sejak tahun 1997. Terdapat beberapa rusuhan sosial yang melanda Indonesia yang menyebabkan kestabilan negara tergugat. Rusuhan ini mernberi kesan kepada usaha untuk pemulihan ekonomi negara menjadi sukar. Ramaiyang berpendapat bahawa rusuhan sosial ini disebabkan oleh ketidakseimbangan ekonorni. Tujuan kajian ini adalah untuk mengetahui ringkat ketidakseimbangan pendapatan di Indonesia dan melihat sama ada ketidakseimbangan pengagihan pendapatan yang baik menjamin dapatmenjamin kestabilan negara. Kaedah pengukuran yang digunakan dalam kajian ini ialah pekali gini dan kriteria yang digunakan oleh bank dunia. Hasil kajian ini menunjukan bahawa pertumbuhan ekonomi meningkatsemasa New Order (sosiopolitik di Indonesia). Sementara itu, agihan pendapatan berdasarkan pekali gini dun kriteria bank dunia rnenunjukan bahawa Indonesia tergolong di dalarn kategori ketidakseimbangan yang rendah. Walaubagaimanapun, dalarn tempoh kajian mendapati terdapat perubahan yang berlaku pada hipotesis Kuznet dan analisis Ahluwalia ke atas bentuk perubahan agihan pendapatan. Ketidakseimbangan yang rendah tidak mempengaruhi situasi ketidaksamaan yang lain sepertikemiskinan dun ketidaksamaan mutlak. Oleh itu, peningkatan pertumbuhan ekonomi dan ketidakamaan yang rendah ketika tempoh pemerhatian tidak menjamin kepada kestabilan politik. Kajian tentang agihan pendapatan tidak hanya menggunakan pendekatan makroekonomi sahaja tetapi juga melihat aspek-uspek mikroekonomi.
