Research Abstract	When characteristics of the household heads below poverty lines in Indonesia are scrutinized, 86% of the heads are educated at primary school or lower educational levels. Among them, 64% are living in rural areas and 22% in urban areas. When they are classified by working sector, 50% of them are working in the agricultural sector. Among them, 46% are in rural agriculture and 4% in urban agriculture. These figures indicate if a household head with primary education is working in rural agricultural sector, his probability being poor is extremely high. A factor created this situation is a very low rate of return to education in that sector.
