Abstract

This study aims to analyze economic contribution and per capita income disparities among provinces in Indonesia using the Theil Index method. The results indicate that the total economic contribution disparity among provinces has a value of 2.2716, with the intra-island disparity (Tintra) component accounting for 1.4919 and the inter-island disparity (Tinter) component accounting for 1.2237. Meanwhile, the analysis of per capita income disparity shows a Total Theil Index of 0.8520, with the Tintra component accounting for 0.8384 and the Tinter component accounting for 0.0136. These findings highlight that intra-island disparities play a more dominant role than inter-island disparities. Therefore, policies focused on equitable infrastructure development in remote areas and the acceleration of development in eastern Indonesia are essential to reduce these disparities. This study also recommends that further research should be conducted to explore the factors contributing to these disparities.

Abstract

This study analyzes the rationality of development targets outlined in the West Sumatra RPJPD 2025-2045, focusing on goals in the fields of science and technology (IPTEK), innovation, and economics. The indicators examined include the manufacturing industry GDP ratio, tourism development, creative economy, MSME productivity, entrepreneurship, BUMD performance, formal job creation, female labor force participation, and regional innovation index. The analysis reveals that some targets, such as the non-agricultural MSME GDP proportion and female labor force participation, are considered realistic as they align with historical trends. However, other targets, such as the manufacturing industry GDP ratio, tourism development, and entrepreneurship, are deemed highly ambitious as they require growth rates far exceeding historical averages. Achieving these targets will require progressive policies, significant investments, and synergy between the government, society, and the private sector. This study provides critical insights for evaluating the realization of future development targets.
