Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of per capita income, education level, the productive-age population, and the human development index on poverty levels in Indonesian provinces. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from the Indonesian Central Bureau of Statistics and the World Bank. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression. The results of the study show that per capita income, education level, and the human development index have a significant influence on poverty levels in Indonesian provinces. However, the number of productive-age population does not have a significant influence on poverty. These findings have important policy implications in efforts to reduce poverty levels in Indonesian provinces.

Abstract

Pasar Simpang Limun, as one of the largest traditional markets in Medan, is facing significant challenges due to the emergence of online markets. Changes in consumer shopping patterns that now prefer online shopping have led to a decline in the turnover of grocery merchants in this market. Price competition with cheap imported products, a decrease in the number of customers, and limited adoption of digital technology are the main challenges for traditional traders. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with the methods of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The research subjects were purposively selected grocery traders in Simpang Limun Market. The data was analyzed to identify the challenges faced by traders as well as the survival strategies they apply amidst online market competition. The main challenges faced by grocery merchants include price competition with online markets, a decrease in the number of customers, and a decrease in turnover. Their coping strategies include highlighting product quality, adopting digitalization such as cashless payments and local delivery services (Gojek/Grab), and focusing on holidays to increase sales. However, some merchants still rely on conventional methods without utilizing technology. Digitalization and diversification of sales channels are key to maintaining the competitiveness of traditional merchants. Government interventions, such as digital literacy training, subsidies, regulation of imported products, and provision of digital infrastructure, are needed to support the sustainability of traditional markets.
