BKKBN: Online Gambling Has Implications For Families
Head of the National Population and Family Planning Agency (BKKBN) Hasto Wardoyo said online gambling has implications for families and has the potential to cause conflict.
“Online gambling has implications for the family. Today is the highest divorce because there are prolonged small quarrels and gambling, I am sure, causing quarrels in the family,” said Hasto in an official statement in Jakarta, Thursday, June 27, which was confiscated by Antara.
Hasto conveyed this in the activity of Appreciation and Award for the Proud Kencana Program and Acceleration of Stunting Reduction in 2024 in Semarang, Wednesday, June 26.
According to him, online gambling affects men a lot and if it happens in the household, the husband has the potential to think illogically, causing a small conflict that is prolonged and is one of the causes of divorce.
“Man-majority male gamblers, both household heads and boys, will be toxic and toxic to families,” he said.
Based on a report from the Indonesian Central Statistics Agency (BPS), in 2023 there were 516,000 divorce cases. For this reason, he said, BKKBN already has a family development program so that families can be peaceful, independent, and happy.
“There is such a thing as iBangga (Family Development Index), which includes assessing also indicators of unfavorable behavior, such as gambling and so on,” he said.
Previously, the Deputy for Prosperous Family and Family Empowerment of the Nopian BKKBN Family, Andusti, also said that the family is the closest social system that can supervise and foster members not to play online gambling.
“Families are a social system that is closest to us. Fostering, educating, guiding, it started with the family. Families must always remind their family members not to get closer to negative actions or activities, one of which is online gambling,” said Nopian.
In addition, said Nopian, online gambling also harms families in addition to harming the perpetrators of gambling themselves.
“Surely the gambling will damage yourself or your family. No one is successful because of gambling, no one is rich because of gambling, no one is prosperous because of gambling,” he said.
