Population data uses data from all provinces in Indonesia from 2020 to 2022. Analysis of the development and condition of HDI, government spending, unemployment levels, and the severity of the pandemic using descriptive statistical methods. Meanwhile, to determine the development and extent of the effect of government spending variables, unemployment levels, and the severity of the pandemic on human development, this research uses panel data regression analysis with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). Panel data analysis findings indicate that government spending variables in the education and health sectors have no bearing on raising the HDI score.

Based on these findings, this study suggests that government expenditure in the health and education sectors be optimized to deal with extraordinary events and maintain the region's focus on human development growth.
