Abstract

This study examines the influence of economic growth, population size, and open unemployment rate on the Human Development Index (HDI) in the Tapal Kuda region of East Java, which includes the districts of Banyuwangi, Bondowoso, Jember, Lumajang, Probolinggo, Pasuruan, and Situbondo during the period 2014–2023. The analysis was conducted using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) employing panel data regression via the Fixed Effects Model (FEM) approach. The findings indicate that economic growth does not have a significant negative impact on the HDI, suggesting that changes in economic growth have not yet notably improved or reduced the quality of life for residents in this region. The population size variable has a significant positive impact, indicating that population growth is accompanied by improved access to education, health services, and living standards. Conversely, the open unemployment rate has a significant negative impact on the HDI, indicating that high unemployment is a barrier to human development progress. Based on these findings, policies that prioritize equitable development, job creation, and improvements in the quality of education and health services are needed to accelerate HDI improvement in the Tapal Kuda region.

Abstract

Over the past five years, West Nusa Tenggara Province (NTB) has been recorded as the region with the lowest economic growth in the Bali and Nusa Tenggara region, particularly in 2019 and 2023. This reflects structural challenges in the regional economy despite efforts to increase investment and foreign trade. This study aims to analyze the effect of Domestic Investment (PMDN), Foreign Investment (PMA), Exports, and Labour on Economic Growth in NTB during the period 2006 to 2023. The data used is annual secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and related agencies. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression with a quantitative approach. The results show that simultaneously, all four variables have a significant effect on NTB's economic growth. However, partially, only the FDI and Labour variables have a positive and significant effect, while DDI and Exports do not show a significant effect. These findings indicate that increasing foreign investment and labour absorption play an important role in driving regional economic growth, while the contribution of PMDN and exports still needs to be improved.

Abstract

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in Indonesia’s economy as both employment providers and drivers of community welfare. However, limited entrepreneurial skills and slow technology adoption remain major challenges, including in Bluru Kidul Village, Sidoarjo Regency. This study aims to examine the effect of entrepreneurship training and technological innovation adaptation on the welfare of MSME actors. A quantitative method was employed using multiple linear regression analysis based on survey data from 83 respondents. The findings indicate that entrepreneurship training and innovation adaptation have a positive and significant effect on MSME welfare, measured through business income, sales volume, operational cost efficiency, and household consumption. These results reinforce Amartya Sen’s Capability Approach, which emphasizes expanding individual capabilities through training and technology. Practically, the study provides insights for local governments and support institutions to design MSME empowerment programs that are more adaptive, sustainable, and tailored to the specific needs of local entrepreneurs.

Abstract

Education is a crucial factor in improving the quality of human resources and alleviating poverty. In Pacitan Regency, the hilly geography and limited accessibility affect the distribution of schools and the community's ability to continue their education. This is reflected in the fluctuation of the School Participation Rate (APS) at each level of education, where the APS of elementary school students is relatively stable, while the APS of junior high and senior high schools shows a significant decline, especially among poor families. This study aims to analyze the influence of poverty levels and the number of schools on the APS in Pacitan Regency. The research method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression using secondary time series data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The results show that at the elementary school level, poverty has a positive but insignificant effect, while the number of schools has a negative effect on the APS due to the regrouping policy. At the junior high school level, poverty has a negative effect and the number of schools has a positive effect on the APS. Meanwhile, at the senior high school level, poverty has a significant negative effect, while the number of schools has no significant effect. Overall, economic factors are proven to be more dominant than the availability of schools, especially at the secondary education level.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of economic growth, minimum wage levels, and education levels on the unemployment rate in Pamekasan Regency in the period 2014–2023. The background of the study is based on the problem of unemployment which remains a significant issue in regional development, where high unemployment is related to fluctuations in economic growth, minimum wage policies, and low educational attainment of the community. This study uses a quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis, while research data was obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Pamekasan Regency. The results show that economic growth has a negative effect on unemployment, so that economic improvement can reduce the number of unemployed. The minimum wage variable has a positive effect, which means that wage increases tend to increase unemployment due to limited labor absorption capacity. Meanwhile, the level of education has a negative and significant effect, meaning that the higher the community's education, the lower the unemployment rate. Simultaneously, all three variables are proven to have a significant effect on unemployment in Pamekasan Regency.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of household consumption, domestic investment (PMDN), regional expenditure, and labor on the economic growth of the five largest regencies/cities in West Java during 2018–2023. Using secondary data from BPS, the analysis was conducted through panel data regression with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM), complemented by F and T tests. The results indicate that household consumption, PMDN, and regional expenditure have a positive and significant effect on economic growth, whereas labor does not show a significant impact. However, all four variables together have a significant influence. These findings highlight household consumption, PMDN, and regional expenditure as the main drivers of growth in West Java, while labor optimization remains important to enhance its contribution to sustainable regional development.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of international trade and foreign direct investment (FDI) on poverty reduction in Uzbekistan within the framework of the country’s economic reforms and global integration efforts. Using a qualitative analytical method supported by secondary data from the World Bank, IMF, ADB, and national statistics, the research explores how trade liberalization, export diversification, and foreign investment have contributed to improving income levels, employment, and access to basic services. The findings demonstrate that strategic FDI inflows and trade expansion since 2017 have played a pivotal role in reducing both monetary and multidimensional poverty, particularly through job creation and industrial diversification. However, challenges such as regional inequality, overreliance on energy exports, and institutional constraints persist. The study concludes that the sustainable reduction of poverty in Uzbekistan requires continued structural reforms, targeted social protection, and policies ensuring equitable regional development and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

Financial inclusion has increasingly been positioned as a strategic instrument for accelerating poverty reduction, particularly in geographically isolated regions where formal financial access remains limited. This study examines the relationship between financial inclusion and poverty in Lanny Jaya Regency, Papua Highlands, during the period January 2022–December 2023. Using a mixed-methods design, monthly secondary data (N = 24) on poverty rate, bank account ownership, availability of banking service points, electronic money usage, and financial literacy were analyzed using descriptive statistics and simple linear regression, complemented by qualitative field observations and interviews. The results show a consistent decline in the poverty rate from 28.5% to 22.8% alongside significant improvements in financial inclusion indicators: account ownership (32.1%→46.5%), banking outlets (4→10 units), e-money users (8.3%→19%), and financial literacy (55.2%→66%). Regression analysis confirms a strong and statistically significant negative relationship between financial inclusion and poverty (β = –0.518; R² = 0.998; p < 0.001). The findings demonstrate that enhanced access and utilization of formal financial services contribute to poverty reduction, although structural barriers such as geographical isolation, low digital readiness, and product–user mismatch persist. Policy implications emphasize expanding last-mile financial infrastructure, context-specific credit products, and community-based financial literacy programs.

Abstract

Economic growth is often perceived as a driving force of development; however, it can simultaneously lead to widening income inequality, particularly in resource-dependent regions. This study investigates the effect of economic growth on income inequality in the Papua Highlands, Indonesia, during the period 2022–2023. Using secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the analysis employs a simple linear regression model to examine the relationship between Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth and the Gini coefficient. The findings reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between economic growth and income inequality, with a regression coefficient of 0.019 and an adjusted R² of 0.817. This indicates that regional economic expansion has contributed to the widening of income disparities across districts in the Papua Highlands. The results confirm the Kuznets hypothesis, which posits that inequality tends to increase in the early stages of economic growth before eventually declining. The study concludes that growth in the Papua Highlands has been concentrated in capital-intensive sectors such as mining and government administration, while local community participation remains limited. It recommends policies focused on equitable resource distribution, sectoral diversification, and inclusive development strategies.
