Abstract

Regional development success is reflected not only in economic growth but also in the degree of income distribution equality. Aceh represents a unique institutional setting characterized by strong Islamic values, substantial fiscal transfers, and significant zakat potential. Nevertheless, income inequality in the province has continued to fluctuate, raising questions about the effectiveness of fiscal and Islamic redistributive instruments. This study examines the effects of government expenditure, zakat distribution, and gender equality on income inequality in Aceh, measured by the Gini index.This research employs an explanatory quantitative approach using panel data from districts and municipalities in Aceh Province during 2020–2024. Multiple linear regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is applied to account for regional heterogeneity. The results show that government expenditure and zakat distribution have negative but statistically insignificant effects on income inequality, indicating that their redistributive roles have not yet been fully effective. In contrast, the Gender Development Index (GDI) has a negative and statistically significant effect, suggesting that improvements in gender equality contribute to reducing income disparities. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence income inequality, although the model explains a moderate proportion of its variation (R² = 0.518567). These findings underscore the importance of strengthening fiscal effectiveness, optimizing zakat governance, and promoting gender-inclusive development to achieve more equitable economic outcomes in Aceh.

Abstract

This study examines the economic programs implemented in Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) and their contribution to improving the welfare of santri at Dayah Mini Aceh. The research employs a qualitative field approach using a descriptive design, with data collected through in-depth interviews and direct observation. A total of nine informants participated in the study, consisting of the pesantren leader, teachers and program managers, and santri involved in the economic activities.The findings reveal that Dayah Mini Aceh operates four primary business units—drinking water production, goat farming, fish cultivation, and poultry farming—which are managed directly by santri. The compensation system is structured around the concept of pengabdian (devotional service), whereby santri who actively manage these business units receive exemptions from monthly educational fees as a form of non-monetary compensation.The economic programs generate multidimensional benefits for santri welfare. Economically, the fee exemption reduces their financial burden. In terms of food security, santri gain access to consumption from the outputs of pesantren production activities. In addition, the programs contribute to the development of entrepreneurial competencies through direct participation in business management and production processes. Nevertheless, the implementation of these initiatives also faces several challenges, including livestock disease outbreaks, dependence on key managerial actors, and limited financial capital.This study contributes to the literature by documenting a distinctive compensation model in pesantren-based economic empowerment that integrates spiritual values with economic incentives. The findings offer empirical insights into how Islamic boarding schools can promote santri welfare through participatory management of institutional business units.
