Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of regional taxes, social assistance expenditures, and income inequality on the economic growth of regencies/cities in Aceh Province for the 2020-2023 period using a panel regression model. The analysis results indicate that regional taxes have a positive and significant impact on economic growth, where increased regional taxes contribute to the development of critical infrastructure and public services. Furthermore, social assistance expenditures also enhance household purchasing power, which directly boosts local economic growth. However, income inequality has a negative and significant impact on growth, as rising inequality hinders public access to education and healthcare and creates social instability. These findings underscore the importance of effective management of regional taxes and social assistance programs, as well as the need for policies to reduce income inequality as a strategy to promote inclusive and sustainable economic growth in Aceh. This study provides recommendations for local governments to formulate more progressive policies in managing economic resources for the welfare of society.

Abstract

One of the government’s steps to address poverty through food security is the launch of the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) program. This study evaluates the impact of the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) program on household welfare in Indonesia. Utilizing logistic regression analysis and data from the 2017 National Socio-Economic Survey, the research reveals that participation in the BPNT program has a significant negative effect on household welfare. Recipients of BPNT are 8.366% less likely to achieve prosperity compared to non-recipients. This outcome underscores the need to address additional factors influencing welfare, such as education, employment opportunities, and access to social services. While the BPNT program effectively provides food assistance, its design and implementation require improvements to better support recipients in overcoming economic challenges. Enhancing the program's scope and efficiency is essential for achieving its objective of sustainable poverty alleviation and improving welfare outcomes for vulnerable households in Indonesia.

Abstract

The high rate of youth unemployment in Indonesia is one of the major issues that the country is facing and requires serious attention from the government. The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that influence youth unemployment in Indonesia during the period from 2020 to 2021 across 34 provinces. A panel data regression using the Random Effects approach was employed as the analytical method. This study aims to analyze the impact of work experience, place of residence, and marital status on youth unemployment. The findings indicate that, collectively, work experience, place of residence, and marital status have a significant effect on the youth unemployment rate. However, when examined individually, only work experience and place of residence are found to have a significant influence on youth unemployment. Work experience has a negative and significant impact, indicating that individuals with prior work experience are less likely to be unemployed. In contrast, place of residence has a positive and significant effect, suggesting that certain living environments may increase the likelihood of unemployment among youth. Meanwhile, marital status does not have a statistically significant influence on youth unemployment in the 34 provinces of Indonesia during the 2020–2021 period.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of fiscal decentralization on economic growth and poverty levels in West Sumatra Province. Fiscal decentralization is a concept where the authority and responsibility in public financial management are transferred from the central government to local governments. West Sumatra Province was chosen as the study location because it is one of the provinces that significantly implements fiscal decentralization. This research method utilizes secondary data collected from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and related documents. Data analysis is conducted using panel regression methods over specific time periods. The research findings indicate that fiscal decentralization has a significant influence on economic growth in West Sumatra Province. Additionally, it was found that the poverty level is also influenced by fiscal decentralization, although its impact is not as pronounced as its influence on economic growth. These findings have important implications for government policies related to public financial management and poverty alleviation at the regional level. With a better understanding of the relationship between fiscal decentralization, economic growth, and poverty levels, it is hoped that more effective policies can be designed to improve the welfare of the population in West Sumatra Province and other regions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the prospects and perspectives of low-income people in West Sumatra on financial inclusion in Islamic banking. Also, this study analyzesvarious factors that determine Islamic banking's financial inclusion and assesses the level of public expectations of the financial inclusion of Islamic banks in West Sumatra. This study applies descriptive quantitative research with primary data. Statistical toolssuch as Mann-Whitney Rank Sum U-test, Kruskal Wallis test, weighted arithmetical mean, chi-square test, and one-way ANOVA are used to reach the research's objectives. As a result, gender, age, marital status, monthly income, type of work, and status in the household are not significantly related to the level of customer expectations of financial inclusion. However, there is a significant relationship between the level of education and type of bank with the level of customer expectations of financial inclusion. The study results illustrate that low-income people in West Sumatra are familiar with Islamic banking, but many of them have not chosen to have an account in Islamic banking. The fatwa of the Council of Ulama Indonesia (MUI) and the Islamic banking system are not fully understood by the people of West Sumatra, the majority of whom are Muslims. A bank account selection is based on ease of reach and location. However, the public's view of Islamic banks is very high, as can be seen from people's expectations that Islamic banks provide a high sense of justice and comfort.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of poverty, the Human Development Index, and unemployment on economic growth in the districts and cities of Riau Province over the period 2015–2024. The research employs a quantitative method using multiple linear regression with panel data covering 12 districts/cities in the province. The data analyzed include key macroeconomic indicators, namely the poverty rate, HDI, and open unemployment rate. The results show that poverty and HDI have a positive and significant effect on economic growth. In contrast, the unemployment rate has a negative and significant effect on regional economic growth. Simultaneously, these three independent variables explain 34.6% of the variation in regional economic growth, while the remaining portion is influenced by other factors not included in the model. These findings offer important implications for regional development policy. The positive relationship between poverty and economic growth indicates signs of unequal distribution of development outcomes, suggesting that economic growth has not been fully enjoyed by all segments of society. Therefore, local governments are encouraged to prioritize development policies that are more inclusive and socially equitable. It is recommended that investment be strengthened in the education, health, and employment sectors, along with the development of local potentials that can absorb labor and sustainably reduce poverty.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis efektivitas layanan angkutan umum Trans Padang di enam koridor operasional awal tahun 2025 (Januari-Februari) menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif-deskriptif. Variabel yang dianalisis meliputi jumlah penumpang, frekuensi keberangkatan, interval waktu antar keberangkatan, dan pola waktu perjalanan berdasarkan perbedaan waktu layanan pada hari kerja dan akhir pekan. Data diperoleh melalui pengamatan langsung dan dokumentasi operator. Berbeda dengan studi sebelumnya yang cenderung menilai kinerja layanan secara agregat, penelitian ini mengisi celah penelitian dengan menyajikan analisis per koridor dan per waktu operasi menggunakan data observasi lapangan. Metode analisis yang digunakan meliputi analisis deskriptif dan uji Mann–Whitney untuk menguji perbedaan signifikan antar waktu dan antar koridor. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa jumlah penumpang tertinggi terjadi pada jam sibuk sore hari di hari kerja, terutama di koridor 1. Namun, ketidakseimbangan ditemukan antara kapasitas maksimum bus dan jumlah penumpang, yang mengakibatkan rasio utilisasi yang rendah. Selain itu, ketidakteraturan jarak antar bus mencerminkan inefisiensi operasional. Temuan ini menunjukkan adanya ketimpangan efektivitas antar koridor dan waktu layanan, sehingga peningkatan kinerja operasional memerlukan penyesuaian frekuensi, diferensiasi jadwal, dan manajemen armada berbasis pola permintaan. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Trans Padang public transportation services in six operational corridors beginning in 2025 (January-February) using a quantitative-descriptive approach. The variables analyzed include the number of passengers, departure frequency, time interval between departures, and travel time patterns based on three time zones (morning, afternoon, and evening) on weekdays and weekends. Data were obtained through direct observation and documentation from the Padang Sejahtera Mandiri (PSM) Regional Company (Perumda). The results show that the highest number of passengers occurs during the afternoon rush hour on weekdays, especially in corridor 1. However, an imbalance was found between the maximum bus capacity and the number of passengers, resulting in a low utilization ratio. In addition, uneven spacing between buses also indicates operational inefficiency. The non-parametric Mann-Whitney statistical test showed a significant difference (p<0.05). In conclusion, operational effectiveness can be improved through frequency adjustments, schedule optimization, and real-time data-based fleet management. The recommendations developed are expected to form the basis for sustainable public transportation improvements in Padang City.
