Developmental gaps

Developmental gaps

From Koran Tempo

When economic activities are centered only in particular areas of a country, there will be developmental gaps and differing growth rates among regions.

Unfortunately, during the New Order era (from the second half of the 1960s up to 1998), economic activities were centered on Java and in some areas on Sumatra. As a result, economic development in the eastern regions of the country has lagged.
