Do Factors like Capacity, Wage, Growth, and Type of Geography Have an Impact on Poverty in East Java ?

Abstract

On the island of Java, East Java is one of the provinces with the highest rates of poverty. Public policies and spatial typologies are thought to have an impact on the region's poverty in addition to market factors. The objective of this study is to ascertain the impact of changes in East Java's poverty levels on changes in regional economic size (GDP), wages, fiscal capacity, and geographic type. The results of 38 regencies and cities using the panel data regression approach from 2012 to 2021 reveal that while district/city minimum salaries have no meaningful impact on poverty, economic growth, and greater fiscal capacity did. The study's findings also indicate that there are no appreciable disparities in poverty levels across coastal and inland regions.
