  abstract: Poverty and income inequality are still the major problems faced by Indonesia. Some scholars argue that economic development in the country had created a trade-off between economic growth and distribution. Therefore, the number of the poor for the last two decades did not fall significantly. Likewise, income inequality in the country tends to worsen. The Central Board of Statistics (2008) found that the gap between the rich and the poor is widened for the last decade. Given these facts, policies for alleviating poverty and reducing income inequality must be evaluated. The conventional distribution approach seems to fail in overcoming these two problems. Hence, the introduction of zakat mechanism is highly needed as an alternative approach to solve the problems. This research attempts to examine the economic role of zakat in reducing income inequality and poverty in the country, by taking a case study in the Province of DKI Jakarta. Three zakat institutions namely, the National Board of Zakat (BAZNAS), the Jakarta Board of Zakat (BAZIS DKI) and Dompet Dhuafa Republika, have been selected to represent the government as well as the private institution of zakat. A number of well-known inequality and poverty measures have been utilized including Lorenz curve, Gini coefficient, Atkinson index, headcount ratio, poverty gap and income gap ratios, Sen index, and FGT index. These comprise the analytical method of the study. After analyzing 1,195 households as the respondents of the research obtained from simple random sampling technique, this study finds that zakat fund has increased monthly income of the households by 8.94 percent. The income share of the bottom 40 percent of the respondents can be increased by 1.90 percent while that of the top 20 percent can be reduced by 2.20 percent. In general, the presence of zakat helps lower the income inequality by an average of 0.57 percentage points. However, when social welfare aspect is taken into consideration, the findings sug…
