The number of poor people in Sleman Regency for three consecutive years in 2018 was 92 thousand people, in 2019 it was 90 thousand people, and in 2020 it was 100 thousand people. In 2019 it decreased from the previous year, but in 2020 it experienced a significant increase, namely around 10 thousand people. The poverty line for the last 3 consecutive years, in 2018 the percentage of poor people was 7.65%, in 2019 the percentage was 7.41%, and in 2020 it increased to 8.12%. Social safety net, hereinafter abbreviated as JPS, is unplanned social assistance in the form of money given to residents of Sleman Regency with socio-economic status as poor and/or vulnerable to poverty and neglect in Sleman Regency. The scope of the Social Safety Net covers three areas, namely the health, education and social sectors. The social safety net in Sleman Regency from 2017 to 2021 is going well. Every year, the budget provided for JPS is IDR 10 billion. In the education sector, there were the most submissions compared to other fields from January 2019 to July 2020. This proves that the social safety net in the education sector is an alternative for people in the Sleman Regency area who experience difficulties in meeting education costs. Submission of the JPS budget in the education sector can be used to pay off outstanding tuition fees, building fees, and pay off fees to be able to take diplomas. The hope is that with better education, people who experience economic difficulties can organize their lives so that they can improve their family's economy to be even better.
