“…In addition, searching for "system dynamics and poverty" in the Google Scholar database yielded thirteen items. Vasconcelos et al (2022) examine the relationship between poverty growth and income poverty. On the other hand, Murtaza and Faridi (2015) examined poverty traps with various aspects of social issues such as population distribution, violence, and poverty.…”

“…Compared to previous research analyzing poverty using system dynamics, this study used the zakat fund as an essential variable in poverty alleviation. System dynamics have been widely used to analyze economic policies with high-complexity characteristics, such as the research by Vasconcelos et al (2022) and Murtaza and Faridi (2015). The problem of poverty is one with a high level of complexity due to many influencing factors, and each factor also affects or interacts with other factors.…”

Purpose – This study analyzes the potential of zakat for poverty alleviation using a system dynamics approach. Indonesia has excellent zakat potential as a country with the largest Muslim population. However, the poverty rate in Indonesia is still high at approximately 10.14% of the total population.Methodology – This study used system dynamics to model how zakat can reduce poverty in Indonesia. The system dynamics method was chosen because of its capability to model the complexity of the system. Findings – The model indicates that increasing the percentage of productive zakat allocation and decreasing the delay of the conversion program can reduce the poverty alleviation time from 200 to 120 years using the zakat nisab standard and from 32 years using the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) poverty standard. However, if Zakat faces limited funds, the focus should be on decreasing the conversion delay. Implications –This research can encourage people to become muzakki (zakat payers) because, as indicated in the simulation models, muzakki growth of muzakki has a role in poverty alleviation. In addition, Zakat institutions can use the developed model to simulate the best policy for poverty alleviation before implementing the program.Originality – Although the system dynamics approach has shown promising findings in modeling poverty, the number of studies utilizing system dynamics to analyze the effect of zakat on poverty reduction is limited. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of zakat in alleviating poverty by implementing a system-based approach and simulating system dynamics.

“…Stigmatization happens when a poor person who seeks welfare such as public nutritional assistance is considered undeserving of support (Mettler, 2011) while someone else who may not be poor but seeks another form of welfare is considered worthy of the benefit (Horan & Austin, 1974). Association between poverty, violent, and property crimes has been noted in the literature (Vasconcelos et al, 2022), and such correlations may not be unconnected to beliefs that poor people are more likely to engage in violent crime and property crime. This belief exacerbates the stigmatization of poor people.…”

Stigmatization of individuals who utilize public welfare in the United States is prevalent and correlates with negative mental health outcomes. Poverty has often been associated with violence and crime, which exacerbates stigmatization of people experiencing poverty. Hence, the study applied the empowerment perspective in examining public nutritional assistance as an empowering intervention. It was hypothesized that public nutritional assistance would be negatively associated with violent crime and property crime. Bivariate and multivariate statistical methods were applied in examining how utilization of public nutritional assistance is associated with the prevalence of violent crime and property crime in a US city. Findings showed inverse relationships between public nutritional assistance and property crime, while violent crime maintained a positive association with property crime. Implications for advocacy, mental health, social work education, and social policy are discussed.
