This study examines the effects of human development, investment, unemployment, and poverty on regional economic growth across regencies and municipalities in Jambi Province. The study employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), covering eleven regencies and municipalities during the 2021–2025 period, resulting in 55 observations. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics. Regional economic growth was measured by the annual growth rate of Gross Regional Domestic Product, while the Human Development Index (HDI), Gross Fixed Capital Formation (PMTB), Open Unemployment Rate (TPT), and poverty rate were employed as explanatory variables. The results indicate that HDI, investment, unemployment, and poverty have no statistically significant individual effects on regional economic growth. Simultaneously, the model is also statistically insignificant, with an F-statistic of 1.689 and a significance value of 0.167. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.119 indicates that the explanatory variables account for 11.9% of the variation in regional economic growth. These findings suggest that improvements in human development and socioeconomic conditions alone may not immediately translate into stronger regional economic growth. The effectiveness of human development may depend on complementary factors, including productive employment, infrastructure, technological development, sectoral productivity, and effective capital utilization. The study highlights the importance of integrating human development with broader structural economic policies to promote sustainable and inclusive regional growth.
