Abstract

This study examines the influence of open unemployment and labor force participation rates on poverty levels in Samosir Regency from 2010 to 2023. Poverty is still a major development problem, especially in areas with limited access to jobs and productive resources. The aim of this study was to see if fluctuations in unemployment and labour force participation significantly affected poverty in the area. This study uses a quantitative method using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency. The multiple linear regression used serves to analyze whether there is a relationship in each variable. The results showed that neither open unemployment nor labor force participation rate had a significant influence partially or simultaneously on poverty in Samosir Regency during the observation period. An adjusted R-squared value of 0.058 indicates that only 5.8% of the poverty variation can be explained by the two independent variables. Although unemployment and labor force participation fluctuate, poverty rates in general decline. These findings suggest that other factors, such as education, infrastructure, and economic diversification, may play a more significant role in poverty alleviation. Therefore, policy recommendations should focus not only on employment-related issues but also on broader socioeconomic interventions that address the root causes of poverty. Further research is needed to explore additional variables and develop integrated strategies for sustainable poverty alleviation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the agricultural sector on poverty rates in rural areas of North Sumatra during the period 2015–2024. The background of this study is based on the fact that most rural residents depend on the agricultural sector for their livelihoods, but the poverty rate is still relatively high. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and simple linear regression analysis using SPSS version 2022. The results of the study show that the agricultural sector has a significant effect on poverty rates, as indicated by the significance value of the T test and F test of 0.009 (<0.05). A negative regression coefficient of -0.022 indicates an inverse relationship, namely that an increase in the contribution of the agricultural sector tends to reduce poverty rates. The R² value of 0.599 indicates that 59.9% of the variation in poverty rates is explained by the agricultural sector, while the remaining 40.1% is influenced by other factors. This study concludes that strengthening the agricultural sector through increased productivity, access to technology, and sustainable policy support is an important strategy in reducing poverty in rural areas of North Sumatra.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of economic growth and minimum wages on poverty rates in Medan City during the period 2010–2024. Poverty remains a central issue in development despite positive economic dynamics and annual minimum wage adjustments. This study uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression methods. Secondary data were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), including annual data on economic growth, minimum wages, and poverty rates. The results of the analysis show that economic growth has a positive and significant effect on poverty with a significance value of 0.024, indicating that economic growth has not reached all levels of society evenly. Conversely, minimum wages do not have a significant effect on poverty, indicated by a significance value of 0.880. Simultaneously, both variables do not have a significant effect on poverty (sig. = 0.068). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.361 indicates that the model is only able to explain 36.1% of the variation in poverty rates. This finding emphasizes the need for poverty alleviation policies that are inclusive, integrated, and oriented towards equitable distribution of development results.

Abstract

Poverty is a multidimensional issue that is still a serious challenge in development in North Sumatra Province. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Human Development Index (HDI) and Labor Participation on the poverty rate during the period 2010–2023. HDI is used as an indicator of quality of life through the dimensions of education, health, and standard of living, while Labor Participation reflects the involvement of the working-age population in economic activities. Secondary data used were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression with the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) approach and supported by classical assumption tests such as normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity. The results of the study indicate that HDI has a negative and significant effect on the poverty rate, while labor participation does not have a significant effect partially. However, simultaneously, both variables jointly affect poverty in North Sumatra. This finding emphasizes the importance of inclusive human development policies and the creation of quality jobs to accelerate poverty alleviation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of minimum wages and unemployment rates on poverty levels in Indonesia during the period 2015–2024. Poverty remains one of the most persistent socio-economic challenges in developing countries, including Indonesia, where economic growth does not always lead to equitable welfare distribution. Minimum wage policies are expected to improve the income of low-income workers, while high unemployment rates tend to increase the number of people living below the poverty line. Therefore, understanding the interaction between these variables is essential for designing effective poverty reduction strategies. This research employs a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between minimum wages, unemployment rates, and poverty levels. The study utilizes secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik/BPS) covering the 2015–2024 period. Data were processed using statistical software to test both the partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on poverty. The results reveal that minimum wage and unemployment rate variables significantly affect poverty levels, both partially and simultaneously. However, the effect of minimum wage increases on reducing poverty is not always consistent, particularly when not accompanied by improvements in labor productivity and job creation. Conversely, the unemployment rate has shown a strong and positive relationship with poverty, indicating that higher unemployment tends to raise poverty levels. The findings highlight the importance of integrating wage policies with employment and productivity enhancement programs to achieve sustainable poverty reduction in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of education policies in Asia on improving access to and the quality of education in developing countries. Using a mixed-methods approach and interval-based regression analysis, the research investigates policy outcomes across five Asian nations—Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and the Philippines—from 2015 to 2020. Key policies analyzed include curriculum reform, teacher training, infrastructure investment, and tuition subsidies. Results indicate that while most countries have made notable progress in increasing access to education, improvements in quality have been uneven. Vietnam and Indonesia show the most significant gains due to sustained investment and strong policy implementation frameworks. In contrast, Pakistan and Bangladesh lag due to limited capacity and inconsistent reforms. The findings underscore the importance of aligning education policies with local socio-economic contexts, investing in teacher development, and adopting digital innovations. Moreover, the study finds that policy impacts tend to diminish over time without continued innovation and adaptive leadership. These insights suggest that educational success in developing countries depends not only on access-oriented reforms but also on sustained efforts to improve instructional quality and institutional resilience. This research contributes to policy discourse by offering practical implications for governments, development agencies, and education stakeholders seeking to improve equity and outcomes across Asia’s developing regions.

Abstract

This study investigates the implementation of educational technology (EdTech) across diverse Asian contexts and its multifaceted impact on learning quality. Through a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design—combining large-scale surveys (842 schools, 5,638 participants) and in-depth case studies in 8 schools—the research reveals significant disparities in infrastructure, teacher readiness, and pedagogical integration. Urban schools in high-income economies (e.g., Singapore, South Korea) reported near-universal device/broadband access (95–100%), while rural institutions in lower-middle-income countries (e.g., Indonesia, Philippines) faced critical gaps (25–40% access). Teacher self-efficacy in Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK) emerged as the strongest predictor of successful implementation: schools with structured training programs exhibited 3.2× higher adoption of transformative practices (SAMR’s Modification/Redefinition levels). Technology’s impact diverged sharply by implementation depth. Advanced integration (SAMR Modification/Redefinition) correlated strongly with enhanced 21st-century skills—45% higher student engagement, 37–44% gains in critical thinking and collaboration (*r* = 0.71)—but showed minimal effect on standardized test scores (+2.1–2.5%, *p* = 0.38). The digital divide exacerbated inequities: students without home internet scored 28% lower on digital literacy. Hybrid learning models with community support reduced this gap by 19%. Barriers to emerging technologies (AI/VR) included cost (78% of schools), training gaps (64%), and ethical concerns (49%). The study concludes that EdTech amplifies existing inequalities without equity-focused interventions. Success hinges on culturally aligned policies, sustained teacher development, and redefining "learning quality" beyond academic metrics. Technology alone cannot transform education; its efficacy depends on equitable infrastructure, pedagogical empowerment, and systemic support.
