Abstract

This study aims to analyse the effect of the Human Development Index (HDI), economic growth proxied by Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and inflation on poverty in Sorong City during the period 2010–2024, with government expenditure as a control variable. This study employs a quantitative approach using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). The results show that economic growth has a positive and significant effect on poverty in Sorong City. Meanwhile, HDI and inflation have positive, though statistically insignificant, effects on poverty, while government expenditure has a negative, though insignificant, coefficient. These findings indicate that regional economic activity is related to poverty dynamics; however, improvements in the quality of human development and changes in price levels have not yet had a significant impact on poverty reduction. Therefore, more effective development policies are needed, particularly to improve human resource quality, expand equitable distribution of economic growth benefits, and optimise government expenditure to target poverty reduction better.
