Abstract

Income inequality is one of the structural challenges faced by many countries, including Indonesia. This phenomenon reflects an unequal distribution of income across regions, which can lead to social injustice and hinder the process of economic development. This study aims to analyze the effects of the Human Development Index (HDI), economic growth, and unemployment rates on income inequality across 34 provinces in Indonesia over the period 2019–2024. The method employed is panel data regression analysis. The findings reveal that the unemployment rate has a positive and significant effect on income inequality. The HDI shows a significant negative effect, while economic growth does not exhibit a statistically significant impact. These findings highlight the importance of policies that prioritize job creation and human development in addressing inequality. Economic growth strategies should also be designed to be more inclusive.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of sustainable development on Sumatra Island and its spatial distribution, assessed from economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Data analysis was conducted using a composite index method, which comprises various unitless indicators or sub-indicators. Furthermore, Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques were applied to identify the spatial distribution of sustainable development. For the economic dimension, indicators include Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita and the open unemployment rate. The social dimension was analyzed using the Human Development Index (HDI), school participation rates, life expectancy at birth, and poverty rates. Meanwhile, the environmental dimension utilized indicators such as the environmental quality index, air quality index, water quality index, and land cover quality index. Based on the composite index analysis of sustainable development in Sumatra from 2016 to 2020, the results indicate that regional development, in the short term, can be classified as moderately sustainable. Spatially, the sustainable development index values ranged from 50.01 to 75.00, which falls into the moderately sustainable category.

Abstract

This study evaluates the influence of the food security index, human development index, and population on economic growth in the Eastern region of Indonesia. The method used in the study is panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach. The results of the analysis show that the food security index has no significant effect on economic growth, while the human development index has a positive but insignificant influence. On the contrary, population size has a positive and significant effect on economic growth, emphasizing the importance of market size and labor availability in stimulating economic growth.
