Abstract

This article examines the effect of unemployment, laborer education, type of employment, gender, off-farm worker vulnerability, investment, and industrialization levels on poverty in districts/cities in Sumatra, Indonesia. The study was conducted in 154 districts/cities in Sumatra from 2013 to 2018. Using a panel data regression model, this study found that laborer education, type of employment, gender, and industrialization level positively affected the poverty rate. By comparison, relatively higher levels of worker vulnerability and investment negatively influenced poverty. Unemployment rates did not influence poverty significantly. The policy recommendation for poverty alleviation, therefore, is the creation of jobs in sectors outside of agriculture, especially in the processing industry and service sectors, coupled with improving the quality of workers' performance through skill training. The study contributes to the literature on poverty reduction by providing insight into how labor factors, investment, and industrialization influence poverty.

考察劳动要素、投资和工业化在扶贫中的作用:来自印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛的经验证据

本文考察了失业、劳动者教育程度、就业类型、性别、非农工人脆弱性、投资和工业化水平对印度尼西亚苏门答腊岛地区/城市贫困的影响。该研究于2013年至2018年在苏门答腊岛的154个地区/城市进行。采用面板数据回归模型，研究发现劳动者受教育程度、就业类型、性别和工业化水平对贫困率有正向影响。相比之下，相对较高的工人脆弱性和投资水平对贫困产生了负面影响。失业率对贫困没有显著影响。因此，关于减轻贫穷的政策建议是在农业以外的部门，特别是在加工业和服务部门创造就业机会，同时通过技能培训提高工人的工作质量。该研究通过深入了解劳动力因素、投资和工业化如何影响贫困，对减贫文献做出了贡献。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
