Purpose – This study aims to analyze the influence of economic and social factors on the Human Development Index (HDI) in districts and cities of Central Java Province during the period 2014–2023.Methods – The study employs a panel data regression approach to analyze variables including GRDP per capita, school participation rates at various education levels, the number of people living in poverty, and the number of healthcare facilities.Findings – The results indicate that GRDP per capita and the number of health facilities have a positive and significant impact on HDI, while poverty has a negative and significant effect. School enrollment at the primary and secondary levels shows mixed results, with senior high school enrollment positively contributing to HDI.Implication – The findings highlight the need for regional policymakers to focus on poverty alleviation, economic productivity, and the expansion of healthcare infrastructure to enhance human development outcomes.Originality – This research provides a recent and comprehensive analysis of HDI determinants at the sub-provincial level in Central Java using a panel data approach, incorporating school enrollment by level to capture nuanced educational effects often overlooked in previous studies.
