Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between inflation and poverty levels in West Papua Province prior to the establishment of Southwest Papua, covering the period 2010–2019. West Papua is one of the provinces in Indonesia with persistently high inflation and poverty rates, making it a relevant case for regional economic analysis. This research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using secondary data on inflation and poverty obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and Bank Indonesia. The analysis is conducted through data tabulation and comparative assessment between West Papua, Papua Province, and the national average. The results indicate that West Papua consistently experienced inflation and poverty levels above the national average during the study period. High inflation potentially exacerbated poverty by reducing the purchasing power of low-income households, particularly in regions with structural economic constraints. These findings highlight the importance of inflation control policies that are sensitive to regional disparities and integrated with poverty reduction strategies. Future studies are recommended to apply econometric methods to quantify the magnitude of inflation’s impact on poverty more precisely.

Abstract

Background: The poverty rate is one of the key indicators used to assess the welfare of communities within a region, as poverty issues are influenced by both social and economic factors. Objective: This study aims to examine poverty levels in Southwest Papua Province and analyze the effects of socio-economic factors on poverty levels in Southwest Papua Province. Methods: The data used consist of panel data covering the period from 2014 to 2023, including several regencies/cities in Southwest Papua Province. The analytical method employed is panel data regression using the Fixed Effects Model (FEM), which was selected based on model selection tests conducted using Stata 17 software. Results: The results indicate that the poverty rate in Southwest Papua Province is considerably higher than the national average, with a gap of approximately 7.51 percentage points in 2023. Based on the Fixed Effects Model with Cluster-Robust Standard Errors (R² = 0.8783; n = 60; F-prob = 0.0002), Average Years of Schooling (β = −3.345; p = 0.025) and Per Capita Expenditure (β = −0.001; p = 0.037) have negative and statistically significant effects on poverty rates, while Total Population, Open Unemployment Rate, and the Construction Cost Index have positive but statistically insignificant effects. Conclusion: These findings imply that local government policies aimed at improving the quality of education and enhancing people’s purchasing power may serve as effective strategies for reducing poverty rates. Additionally, efforts to control the unemployment rate and account for construction cost factors should be considered in economic development planning in Southwest Papua Province.
