This study aims to analyze the effect of Gross Regional Domestic Product (PDRB), Human Development Index (IPM), and Unemployment Rate on poverty levels in Maluku Province during the 2019-2023 period. A panel data regression approach was employed, allowing a comprehensive analysis by combining cross-sectional and time-series data. The results show that PDRB has a positive effect on poverty, while IPM has a significant negative effect, indicating that improvements in quality of life can reduce poverty. In contrast, the unemployment rate does not show a significant effect on poverty. Overall, the regression model used has a high explanatory power, with an R-squared of 0.952. This study contributes significantly to understanding the factors influencing poverty in island regions and provides insights for formulating more effective development policies in Maluku Province.
