Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of education level and health level on income distribution inequality in the 23 regencies/cities of Aceh Province, Indonesia, over the period 2019–2023. The independent variables are education level (X1), measured by mean years of schooling, and health level (X2), measured by life expectancy, while the dependent variable is income distribution inequality (Y), measured by the Gini ratio. The study used a quantitative approach with panel data regression combining time-series and cross-sectional data (115 observations) obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) of Aceh Province. The best model was selected using the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests, which indicated that the Common Effect Model is the most appropriate model. The results show that education level has a negative and significant effect on income distribution inequality (coefficient −0.012104; p = 0.0000), and health level also has a negative and significant effect (coefficient −0.006424; p = 0.0000). Simultaneously, the two variables have a significant effect on income distribution inequality (F-statistic 99.11681; p = 0.0000). The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.638982, meaning that education level and health level explain about 63.9% of the variation in income distribution inequality, while the remaining 36.1% is explained by other factors outside the model, such as unemployment, economic growth, infrastructure, and government policy. The study recommends expanding access to education and improving the quality and distribution of health services across regencies/cities in Aceh.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of Village Funds on poverty alleviation in Subulussalam City, Aceh Province, Indonesia, with a case study in Simpang Kiri District. The study was motivated by the fact that the increase in Village Fund allocations to Subulussalam City in 2024 was accompanied by an increase in the number and percentage of poor people. The study used a quantitative approach with primary data collected through questionnaires, observations, and interviews. The sample consisted of 101 poor residents of the 17 villages in Simpang Kiri District, selected by purposive sampling with the criterion of a per capita income below IDR 487,777 per month. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, with the use of Village Funds for village development (X1) and for community empowerment (X2) as independent variables and poverty (Y) as the dependent variable. The results show that Village Funds for development have a negative but insignificant effect on poverty (coefficient −0.031; sig. 0.673 > 0.05), whereas Village Funds for community empowerment have a negative and significant effect on poverty (coefficient −0.515; sig. 0.000 < 0.05). Simultaneously, the two variables have a significant effect on poverty (F = 243.868; sig. 0.000), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.834. These findings indicate that Village Funds reduce poverty mainly through community empowerment rather than through physical development. The study recommends that the government strengthen oversight of the use of Village Funds and increase the share of Village Funds allocated to community empowerment programs.

Abstract

This study analyzes the effect of population size and the poverty rate on the economic growth rate of the regencies/cities in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The study used panel data combining time-series and cross-sectional data for the 23 regencies/cities in Aceh Province over the period 2019–2023 (115 observations), obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) of Aceh Province. The data were analyzed using panel data regression, and the best model was selected using the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests. The results show that the Fixed Effect Model is the most appropriate model. Population has a positive and significant effect on economic growth (coefficient 0.048845; p = 0.0000), and the poverty rate also has a positive and significant association with economic growth (coefficient 0.111714; p = 0.0000). Simultaneously, population and the poverty rate have a significant effect on economic growth (F-statistic 11.79192; p = 0.0000). The coefficient of determination (R²) is 0.758717, meaning that the model explains about 75.9% of the variation in economic growth, while the remaining 24.1% is explained by other variables outside the model. The positive association between poverty and growth indicates that growth in Aceh has not yet been sufficiently pro-poor. The study recommends improving the quality of the productive-age population and focusing poverty alleviation on productive employment and economic empowerment. Further research should include other determinants of growth, such as investment, human development, and fiscal transfers.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of paddy field area and rice harvested area on rice production in Aceh Province. The study used a quantitative approach with panel data covering 23 regencies and cities in Aceh Province over the 2019–2023 period, resulting in 115 observations. The data were analyzed using panel data regression, with paddy field area (X1) and rice harvested area (X2) as independent variables and rice production (Y) as the dependent variable. Based on the Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests, the random effect model was selected as the best model. The results indicate that paddy field area has a positive and significant effect on rice production, while rice harvested area has a negative and significant effect on rice production when paddy field area is held constant. Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect on rice production. The coefficient of determination of 0.944 indicates that paddy field area and rice harvested area explain 94.4% of the variation in rice production, while the remaining 5.6% is explained by other variables outside the model. These findings underline the importance of protecting paddy fields from conversion to sustain rice production in Aceh Province.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of the open unemployment rate and the minimum wage on poverty in Sabang City, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The study used a quantitative approach with annual secondary time-series data for 2000–2024 (n = 25) obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with t-tests and an F-test at a 5% significance level. The results show that the open unemployment rate and the minimum wage simultaneously have a significant effect on poverty in Sabang City, as indicated by a calculated F-value of 41.235, which is greater than the F-table value of 3.443 (sig. 0.000). Partially, the open unemployment rate has a positive and significant effect on poverty, with a coefficient of 0.209 and a calculated t-value of 2.348, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.074 (sig. 0.021). The minimum wage also has a positive and significant effect on poverty, with a coefficient of 0.417 and a calculated t-value of 5.346 (sig. 0.000). The coefficient of determination (R²) is 74.2%, meaning that 74.2% of the variation in poverty in Sabang City is explained by the open unemployment rate and the minimum wage, while the remaining 25.8% is explained by other factors outside the model. The positive effect of the minimum wage indicates that minimum wage increases in Sabang City have not been sufficient to reduce poverty, possibly because many workers are in the informal sector. The study recommends expanding employment and skills training programs and setting the minimum wage in line with decent living needs and local economic conditions.

Abstract

This study examines the partial and simultaneous effects of agricultural land area and agricultural production output on per capita income in Aceh Jaya Regency, Aceh Province, Indonesia. The study used a quantitative approach with annual secondary time-series data for 2000–2024 (n = 25) obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with t-tests and an F-test at a 5% significance level. The results show that land area and production output simultaneously have a significant effect on per capita income, as indicated by a calculated F-value of 62.481, which is greater than the F-table value of 3.443 (sig. 0.000). Partially, land area has a positive and significant effect on per capita income, with a coefficient of 0.634 and a calculated t-value of 6.469, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.074. Production output also has a positive and significant effect on per capita income, with a coefficient of 0.234 and a calculated t-value of 3.391, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.074. The coefficient of determination (R²) is 65.3%, meaning that 65.3% of the variation in per capita income is explained by land area and production output, while the rest is explained by other factors outside the model. The study recommends protecting productive agricultural land from conversion and increasing agricultural productivity to raise per capita income. Further research should include other determinants, such as capital, commodity prices, technology, and labor quality.
