IMPROVE THE ECONOMY AND WELFARE OF THE COMMUNITY
This is a Response to the Pemuda Bersuara Berdaya wikithon
Economy and welfare are two closely related concepts. Economics refers to the system of production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services in a society. Meanwhile, welfare refers to a condition in which basic human needs are met, both materially and non-materially, so that individuals can live a decent and quality life. In the context of the election of regional head candidates, the issue of “economy and welfare” is an important issue to be prioritized by regional head candidates because both have a direct impact on the quality of life of the community. By improving economic conditions and welfare, regional heads can create a more prosperous and stable environment, with the reason being that if the economy develops, people are more able to get better access to their needs such as food, education, health services, and housing, especially in peripheral areas which are still often found. This can improve the overall physical, mental, and social well-being of the community. Poverty reduction can also be one of the main objectives in economic development, by creating programs that focus on providing jobs, developing MSMEs (micro, small and medium enterprises), and social assistance that can help lift the poor out of poverty because it can be a reason for some people who want to pursue a more decent education. Regional heads who are able to overcome poverty will have a significant direct impact on their citizens and of course jobs not only provide income, but also provide a sense of belonging, identity, and satisfaction for them. Some of these regions still have challenges in providing employment, especially among young people, which is one of the problems that must be addressed in effective economic policies and of course this development is preferred by the community. A growing economy can create more jobs for people. Regional heads who focus on economic development will seek to increase investment in their region, supporting local sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, industry and tourism. This gives people the opportunity to work and have a stable income.
Health is also an important aspect of well-being. A good health program will improve people's overall quality of life. Regional head candidates need to ensure that health services are easily accessible and of high quality, especially for vulnerable groups such as children and the elderly. With programs aimed at health, it will help create a more productive generation. Of course, good health will increase productivity. The provision of adequate and affordable clean water is also very important and is included in the Health of communities that are still difficult to get clean water. This is also one of the main determining factors in improving welfare. By implementing programs that can be realized such as the government needs to work with the private sector, civil society, and donor agencies to increase access to clean water, communities need to be provided with knowledge and skills in managing clean water and good sanitation, and the application of appropriate technology can increase efficiency in managing clean water.
Economic and welfare issues are at the heart of local leadership. By making these issues a priority, regional heads can create a better environment for their citizens, focusing on issues including job creation, poverty alleviation, infrastructure improvement, as well as ensuring that the benefits of economic growth can be enjoyed by all levels of society and leave a brighter future for future generations.- Affiliation
