Implementation of the Fifth Pancasila Principle in the Program Keluarga Harapan in Rembang Regency

Abstract

The high poverty rate indicates that the level of welfare in Indonesian society is still relatively low. To alleviate poverty, the government has implemented a program called "Program Keluarga Harapan" (PKH). Through PKH, impoverished families are encouraged to have access to and utilize basic social services such as healthcare, education, food, nutrition, care, and support. This research aims to examine the implementation of the fifth principle of Pancasila in the execution of the Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH) in Rembang Regency. The type of research used is field research with ethnographic research methods, and the data collection techniques employed in this study include observation, interviews, and documentation. From the field research conducted, it can be concluded that the implementation of the Program Keluarga Harapan in Rembang Regency has been running smoothly. This is evidenced by the targeted distribution of aid, which has effectively alleviated the burden on the members of the Beneficiary Family (Keluarga Penerima Manfaat or KPM) in meeting their respective needs. The research also found that PKH has been able to change the mindset and habits of the community, which initially did not prioritize the health and education of their children but has now become aware of their importance.
