<![CDATA[Brebes Regency ranks among the top ten regions in Central Java in terms of gross regional domestic product (GRDP) at constant prices (PDRB ADHK) and the highest percentage of poor population. Based on this disparity, the study aims to identify leading and potential economic sectors using Location Quotient (LQ), Shift Share, and Klassen Typology analyses, as well as to examine the effect of economic growth—represented by GRDP—on poverty levels in Brebes Regency from 2014 to 2024. This research employs a descriptive quantitative method using time series data of GRDP and poverty rates. The findings reveal that Brebes Regency’s economic sectors are diverse. First, the LQ analysis identifies five sectors with comparative advantages. Second, the Shift Share analysis highlights nine sectors with competitive advantages. Third, the Klassen Typology classifies sectors into advanced, potential, and underdeveloped quadrants. Regression analysis results indicate that economic growth, as reflected by GRDP, has a significant adverse effect on poverty reduction, meaning that an increase in economic growth is associated with a decrease in the percentage of the poor population.]]>
