This study aims to analyze the effect of the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT), Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP/PDRB), and Educational Attainment measured by Mean Years of Schooling (RLS) on Poverty in Bone Regency during the 2006–2024 period. A quantitative research design was employed utilizing 19-year secondary time-series data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS). Data analysis was performed using Multiple Linear Regression with a Semi-Log (Log-Lin) specification processed via EViews 12. Classical assumption tests conducted included normality (Jarque-Bera), multicollinearity (VIF), autocorrelation (Durbin-Watson), and heteroscedasticity (White Test). The results demonstrate that simultaneously TPT, GRDP, and Education significantly affect poverty (F = 35.12, p = 0.000) with a coefficient of determination (R-squared) of 87.54%. Partially, TPT has a positive and significant effect on poverty (coef = 0.506, p = 0.005), GRDP has a negative and significant effect on poverty (coef = -2.293, p = 0.000), whereas Educational Attainment shows a positive but statistically insignificant effect at α = 5% (coef = 0.408, p = 0.272). These findings offer crucial policy implications for the Bone Regency Government to prioritize quality job creation and align educational curricula with local economic structures.
