FACTORS AFFECTING POVERTY RATE IN INDONESIA 2015-2019

Abstract

Poverty is a complex problem that exists in Indonesia. Indonesia's poverty in 2016-2019
fluctuated. This study aims to determine the effect of Economic Growth, Human
Development Index, and Internet Access on Poverty by using the Least Square Dummy
Variable (LSDV) approach. Based on the results of panel data analysis from this study, it
shows that economic growth has no effect on poverty in Indonesia. Meanwhile, HDI and
Internet Access have an effect on Poverty in Indonesia. The government should increase
the development of regional facilities, create more adequate job opportunities, increase
the provision of scholarships, supervise industries and increase public awareness about
the importance of education.
