Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of gender equality on poverty levels in Aceh Province during the 2018–2023 period. Gender equality is measured through three main indicators, namely the Gender Development Index (GDI), women's income contribution to household income, and women's Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR). The method used in this study is panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach. The results of the analysis show that the GDI has a negative and significant effect on poverty, which means that increasing gender equality contributes to reducing poverty levels. Women's income contributions also show a negative and significant effect, indicating that the greater the economic contribution of women, the lower the poverty level. Conversely, women's LFPR does not show a significant effect on poverty in Aceh. These findings indicate that the quality of women's participation in development is more important than the quantity of participation. Therefore, policies are needed to support improving the quality of women's resources and expanding their access to the economic sector as part of the poverty alleviation strategy in Aceh Province.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the economic potential, sector contribution, competitiveness level, and economic classification in five regions—Malinau, Bulungan, Tana Tidung, Nunukan, and Tarakan City—in the period before (2007–2011) and after the expansion (2013–2017). The research approach is quantitative descriptive by utilizing secondary data analyzed using the Location Quotient (LQ), Shift Share (SS), and Klassen Typology methods. The results of the study show that there is a shift in the base sector from the two main sectors, namely mining and processing industry, to five leading sectors after expansion, namely agriculture, forestry, and fisheries; construction; transportation and warehousing; and government administration. Although the contribution of the mining sector decreased after expansion, it still plays a major role in the regional economy. Regional competitiveness shows an increase, especially in the agricultural sector and government administration. The regional economic structure has also undergone a transformation from the dominance of extractive activities to diversification in the construction, transportation, information technology, and service sectors. Based on the Klassen Typology classification, there has been an increase in the number of post-expansion leading sectors which reflects a stronger and more sustainable direction of economic development.
