Journal Article
Determinants of Poverty amongst Zakah Recipients in Indonesia
2017
Overview
Strategies aimed to increase the impacts of zakah in alleviating poverty
need to identify factors that are strongly associated with poverty and
subsequently amenable to zakah interventions. However, existing
empirical studies related to zakah rarely highlight this issue. This study,
therefore, examine the determinants of poverty amongst zakah
recipients in Indonesia in order to enhance effectiveness of zakah
targeting in alleviating poverty in the world’s largest Muslim country.
To achieve the objective, the study collected primary data of the
households receiving zakah assistance in Greater Jakarta Indonesia and
utilized a logistic regression model to analyse the determinants of
poverty amongst the recipients. The main result suggests that lower age,
lower education, less formal occupation, smaller households size and
non-economic zakah assistance were related to a higher probability of
being poor. The results suggest that these groups of people should be
the main target of zakah interventions in Indonesia. The findings should
be taken into account by zakah organizations, government and other
relevant institutions to enhance the impacts of zakah in alleviating
poverty not only in Indonesia but also in other Muslim countries
