This study aims to analyze the development of key human development indicators in Jambi Province from 2017 to 2024, including the Human Development Index (HDI), Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita, Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), Open Unemployment Rate (OUR), and the poverty rate. Using panel data regression across districts and cities in Jambi with EViews 13, the study examines the influence of economic and labor variables on the HDI. The results show that GRDP per capita and OUR have a positive and significant effect on the HDI, indicating that higher income and workforce participation improve overall living standards. Conversely, poverty has a significant negative effect, while LFPR shows no significant impact, suggesting that labor quantity is not yet supported by sufficient quality and productivity
