Abstract

Poverty is a classic problem in every region. It is rooted in various causes like corruption, lack of education, political instability, geographical characteristics. The success of a region is strongly influenced how big this poverty can be overcome. So that poverty reduction becomes a priority for both central and local government. There are also multiple ways to do away with it, various programs and policies began to be formulated to reduce and minimize the problem. It is extremely difficult for social programs such as this to gauge the right amount of aid that needs to be given to the right people. This problem is made exponentially more difficult when that program is dealing with the least fortunate portion of the population. This is because they cannot provide the necessary details of their income, asset or expense records to justify that they need the aid to qualify. Hence, this paper’s defining question is: how to determine a method to effectively gauge the right amount of aid to be given to each household given the multitude of variables present in the vast dataset? In our work we will use supervised machine learning algorithms to a dataset to train a model which will predict the poverty based on the household level.
