Beberapa Isu-terkait Kemiskinan: Analisis Awal Data Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional 2004-2008
Published by Uzair Suhaimi
**Statistics and Spirituality: An Unexpected Synergy** At first glance, the pairing of statistics and religion may seem unconventional—even paradoxical. One discipline is rooted in empirical analysis, quantifying the tangible realities of our world; the other contemplates the transcendent, exploring truths beyond the physical realm. Yet this very duality defines my journey: a lifelong dedication to statistical rigor intertwined with a deep fascination for humanity’s spiritual dimensions. **Professional Journey: Three Decades of Data-Driven Impact** From 1981 to 2011, I served as a statistician at *BPS-Statistics Indonesia*, the nation’s central bureau of statistics, contributing to data-driven policymaking and national development. Following this, I lent my expertise to Indonesia’s *TNP2K* (a Vice President’s Office initiative) and the *International Labour Organization’s Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ILO-ROAP)* as a senior statistician. Since 2012, I have operated as an independent consultant, collaborating with entities like the ILO and Indonesian government agencies on pivotal projects. A recent highlight includes leading Indonesia’s first comprehensive *estimation of child labor* for the ILO Country Office in Jakarta (2019), a critical step toward addressing this urgent social challenge. **Spiritual Inquiry: Bridging the Universal and the Esoteric** Parallel to my professional work, I have nurtured a decades-long intellectual passion for the essence of religious thought—its esoteric traditions, universal principles, and timeless wisdom. Sufism’s mystical teachings and the *perennial philosophy*, which seeks shared truths across spiritual traditions, hold particular resonance for me. To explore these themes, I have authored and shared reflections on my personal blog, inviting dialogue on how inner understanding intersects with our outer world. **Convergence: Where Analysis Meets Meaning** This unlikely harmony between data and devotion has profoundly shaped my perspective: statistics reveal the *"what"* of human conditions, while spirituality grapples with the *"why."* Together, they form a dynamic lens through which I seek to understand—and contribute to—both the measurable and the immeasurable dimensions of life. .

Jejak Pemikiran dan Refleksi 
Imam Baihaqi mengatakan :”Menurutku bahwa Nabi Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam tidaklah meminta keadaan miskin yang maknanya kekurangan tetapi beliau meminta miskin yang maknanya tunduk dan merendahkan diri (khusyu’ dan tawadlu’). [Lihat kitab : Sunatul Kubra al-Baihaqi 7/12-13 dan Taklhisul-Habir 3/109 No. 1415 oleh Al-Hafidz Ibnu Hajar]
Sisi lain dengan kemiskinan di Indonesia, yang relatif sulit sekali dihilangkan adalah banyak kebijakan yang dibuat sifatnya tidak berkesinambungan. Beberapa justru alih-alih mengurangi kemiskinan justru berpotensi menambah jumlah orang miskin (dengan ukuran standard).
Terima kasih, Pak Uzair pencerahan dari sisi kuantitatif yang ringkas tetapi fokus.
Salam
