<![CDATA[This study analyzes the influence of microloans, the availability of informal employment, and income levels on poverty rates in the Eastern Indonesia region. Using panel data from 13 provinces over the 2020–2022 period and a Random Effect Model regression method, the results show that microloans and the availability of informal employment significantly contribute to reducing poverty, while income levels do not have a significant partial effect.
