Abstract

Various attempts to tackle poverty in Indonesia have been carried out by the government such as Social Safety Net
(Jaringan Pengaman Sosial /JPS) etc. However, these efforts have not produced satisfying results, because they
have not been able to reduce the number of poor people. This study aims to determine the involvement of women
in family economic empowerment, the factors that influence and its benefits in increasing the role of women in
realizing a prosperous family on Depok and Bogor, West Java Province Indonesia. The design of this study is "
cross-sectional " with a qualitative approach through the FGD (Focus Group Discussion ) to the key informants, while
the supporting-depth interviews with informants. The results of the study show that family economic empowerment
activities tend to decrease or be neglected, this is because the local government's commitment in the family
economic empowerment program is not optimal as the focus of advocacy has been more on family planning and
non-family planning programs in a comprehensive manner; and not all districts / cities have special institutions that
are responsible for handling women's empowerment programs; and many family planning voluntary worker
institutions that are no longer intact so that the family economic empowerment program is excluded.
