This study aims to examine structural poverty in Indonesia through a multidimensional approach encompassing social, economic, and public policy perspectives. Utilizing a qualitative method through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), this research analyzes various studies published over the last six years (2020–2025), sourced from the Dimensions and Scopus databases. The findings reveal that structural poverty cannot be separated from unequal social power relations, regional economic disparities, and public policies that remain non-inclusive. Contributing factors such as social stigma, discrimination against vulnerable groups, and weak public governance perpetuate cycles of injustice and vulnerability. Most previous studies have been fragmented and have not systematically integrated these three dimensions. This research fills that gap by offering a comprehensive literature analysis, providing a conceptual foundation for formulating transformative policies. The implications of the findings emphasize the urgency of cross-sectoral approaches that prioritize social justice, resource redistribution, and structural reforms in addressing poverty in a sustainable manner in Indonesia.
