Rector, Prof. Ir. Dwikorita Karnawati, M.Sc., Ph.D., in her speech said that UGM alumni are expected to help the government address the problem of economic inequality and poverty, because, in the last 10 years the expenditure distribution gap index or Gini ratio had increased from 0.32 to 0.41. "Inequality of income in the last 10 years has widened," said Rector in the graduation ceremony held at Grha Sabha Pramana, Wednesday (19/10).
The Rector said the higher the Gini ratio index shows that the level of social welfare has not been reached. Rector said the country with the highest Gini ration index is Namibia with an index value of 0.7. While the country with the lowest inequality is Denmark with a value of 0.2. According to Dwikorita, it is not easy for the government to lower the Gini ratio index because Indonesia is not fully sovereign in facing global economic power. "We are not fully sovereign in facing global economic power. We also are not fully sovereign in terms of food and health," she explained.
Nevertheless, added the Rector, those threats not to weaken the spirit of unity among the Indonesian people. But on the contrary, it is to bring us together in solving the problem of poverty in the community. "I call for UGM alumni to unite, despite different ethnicity, religion and discipline, let us fight inequality, poverty and ignorance because we all have a shared responsibility to lift the life of our less fortunate brothers," she concluded.
