This report conducts a critical review of place-based policies that have been implemented in Indonesia since Suharto's presidency.

We begin by describing the evolution of central and local policymaking in Indonesia, providing the context through which place-based policies operate. We then review place-based policies that affect firm location choices, improve schooling and health for workers, and provide social assistance for people in lagging areas, evaluating their strengths and weaknesses. We conclude by offering recommendations to improve and redirect place-based policymaking in the future. 2019-10-21T17:12:27Z 2019-10-21T17:12:27Z 2019-10-01 Working Paper http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/376361571412939496/Place-Based-Policies-in-Indonesia-A-Critical-Review http://hdl.handle.net/10986/32593 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research Publications & Research :: Working Paper East Asia and Pacific Indonesia
