Knowledge sharing and shadaqah economy schemes: a better future for Indonesia's economy

摘要

Poverty and lower levels of education remain major obstacles to social enhancement in Indonesia. Our research addresses these problems by aiming to bring about a collaboration between Islamic economic schemes such as 'shadaqah economy' and 'knowledge sharing' in Indonesia's pesantrens. Using a system dynamics model, our findings revealed that the application of shadaqah economy and knowledge sharing schemes can help reduce the poverty levels and increase the educational levels of the people who live in the vicinity of these pesantrens. These schemes are expected to enhance the quality of life of the poor in Indonesia.
