Abstract
One of SDG-s targets in 2030 is zero poverty, meaning that no population is below the poverty line. Poverty alleviation is an economic problem that is difficult to solve because it involves many aspects and is highly dependent on government alignments in activities and budgets. In 2015, Indonesia has not met the MDGs target of reducing the number of poor people, so can the SDGs target be achieved? Through this research, we want to find the right strategy to achieve zero poverty in 2030. The analytical method used in this study is through forecasting using data from 1986 - 2017, which is combined with Computable General Equilibrium analysis to simulate that achievement. The poverty Indonesia level in 2030 in normal forecasting shows that it is still far from achieving zero poverty. Whereas with upper confidence zero poverty will only be achieved, its mean the government must have highly strategy to do. The strategy that needs to be done to achieve zero poverty is the governments alignments through various programs, policies, and budgets in the field of education, development in the agricultural sector, industry sector in the country that will encourage job creation for the people of Indonesia.
