Determinants of poverty and income inequality on the islands of Sumatra and Java

The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze the comparison of poverty and inequality levels on the islands of Sumatra and Java and to analyze the effect of the human development index (HDI), gross regional domestic product (GRDP), the level of open unemployment (TPT) and total population on poverty and income distribution inequality in Sumatra and Java. Based on the results of the study, if you look at the comparison of the poverty rate on the island of Sumatra and Java, based on the data, it can be seen that the average poverty rate on the island of Sumatra is 10.6%, which is higher than the average poverty rate on the island of Java, which is 8.8%. while the level of inequality in income distribution on average in Sumatra is 0.327, lower than the average income distribution inequality in Java, which is 0.393. HDI and GRDP have a significant negative effect and TPT has a significant positive effect on the poverty level on the island of Sumatra while the population has no significant effect, while in Java the HDI variable has a significant negative effect and TPT has a significant positive effect on the poverty level and population and GRDP has no significant effect. . For income distribution inequality on the island of Sumatra, the HDI variable has a significant negative effect and GRDP has a significant positive effect, while the population and TPT have no significant effect, while on Java only the GRDP variable has a significant negative effect on inequality, while the other variables, namely HDI, population and TPT, have no significant effect. significant impact on inequality in Java
