Abstract

Despite continuous improvements in the Human Development Index (HDI), Indonesia’s poverty rate remained relatively high at 8.57 percent in 2024, indicating persistent structural challenges. This indicates a critical gap in variables determining poverty in Indonesia. This study aims to analyse the determinants of poverty across Indonesian provinces by examining both indirect and direct transmission mechanisms. The study employs a quantitative explanatory design using a two stage recursive panel data model that integrates regional financial effectiveness, regional financial efficiency, provincial minimum wages, HDI, and domestic investment. Secondary data are obtained from the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance (DJPK), Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia, and Statistics Indonesia (BPS), covering 34 provinces over the 2018 to 2024 period with 238 observations. A balanced panel dataset is estimated using panel data techniques, and the Fixed Effects model is selected based on the Hausman test. The results show that regional financial effectiveness and provincial minimum wages positively affect HDI, while fiscal inefficiency reduces human development. HDI significantly reduces poverty, confirming its mediating role, whereas domestic investment has a direct negative effect on poverty. These findings highlight the importance of coordinated fiscal and investment policies to accelerate poverty reduction.

Abstract

 Kriminalitas pencurian di Indonesia merupakan isu multidimensi yang tidak hanya merugikan secara materi, tetapi mengancam stabilitas pembangunan dan kohesi sosial. Tingginya angka pencurian yang fluktuatif dalam beberapa tahun terakhir mencerminkan kerentanan struktural yang membutuhkan pemahaman mendalam tentang faktor-faktor pendorongnya yang melampaui pertimbangan-pertimbangan yang bersifat rasional. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis faktor-faktor pendorong kriminalitas pencurian, khususnya pengaruh kemiskinan, kerentanan bencana, kepadatan penduduk, dan tingkat pendidikan dengan mempertimbangkan persistensi dan endogenitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder yang bersumber dari Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) pada 34 provinsi periode 2016-2023. Metode analisis yang digunakan adalah data panel dinamis dengan pendekatan First Difference Generalized Method of Moments (FD-GMM). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kriminalitas pencurian bersifat persisten, dengan kemiskinan, kepadatan penduduk, dan tingkat pendidikan berpengaruh positif ignifikan, sedangkan kerusakan rumah akibat bencana tidak signifikan. Kebaruan penelitian terletak pada pengungkapan paradoks pendidikan, di mana peningkatan lama sekolah justru meningkatkan risiko pencurian akibat ketidakterserapan tenaga kerja terdidik. Implikasi kebijakan mencakup penguatan program pengentasan kemiskinan dan reformasi pendidikan vokasi guna mendukung pencapaian SDGs, terutama tujuan ke-4, ke-8, dan ke-16.

Abstract

This article examines the Merdeka Belajar policy as a value-laden practice within Indonesia’s education reform, emphasizing its philosophical and cultural implications for primary and secondary education. Rather than treating the policy as a technical innovation, this study explores the underlying values, assumptions, and normative tensions that shape its orientation. The study employs a qualitative approach through conceptual and philosophical analysis based on policy documents, educational philosophy, and contemporary social theory. The analysis focuses on how the policy frames educational freedom, pedagogical autonomy, and the relationship between education and culture. The findings indicate that Merdeka Belajar holds emancipatory potential in promoting pedagogical autonomy, contextual learning, and student-centered education. However, it also reveals tensions between educational freedom and technocratic tendencies, which may reduce education to an instrumental function. This study highlights that Merdeka Belajar should be understood as a cultural project that integrates pedagogical flexibility with ethical and cultural orientation, contributing to social cohesion and community well-being.
