Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Average School Age, Open Unemployment Rate, and Economic Growth on Income Inequality in the Special Region of Yogyakarta Province. Income inequality is an important issue in regional development because it reflects the uneven results of development at various levels of society. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) D.I. Yogyakarta during the period 2014–2023. The analysis method used was multiple linear regression with the help of the SPSS version 25 tool. The results showed that the average variable length of school had a positive and significant effect on income inequality, while the open unemployment rate and economic growth had no effect on income inequality in D.I. Yogyakarta. These findings suggest that improvements in educational attainment, labor conditions, and economic growth have not been accompanied by equitable access or a balanced distribution of development benefits, causing the gains to be concentrated among high-income groups in urban areas.
