<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the effect of Regional Minimum Wage (RMW), Literacy Rate, and Unemployment Rate on poverty levels in Java Island during 2015–2025. The research employs a quantitative approach with a correlational design. The data used are panel data covering six provinces in Java Island from 2015 to 2025. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM), selected based on the Chow Test and Hausman Test results. The findings indicate that simultaneously, RMW, Literacy Rate, and Unemployment Rate significantly affect poverty levels in Java Island. Partially, Regional Minimum Wage has a negative and significant effect on poverty, indicating that higher minimum wages contribute to reducing poverty. Literacy Rate also has a negative and significant effect on poverty, suggesting that improvements in education quality can help alleviate poverty. Meanwhile, Unemployment Rate has a positive and significant effect on poverty, implying that higher unemployment tends to increase the number of poor people. These findings highlight that improving workers' welfare, enhancing educational quality, and expanding employment opportunities are essential strategies for poverty reduction in Java Island.]]>
