The Impact of People's Business Credit Program, Minimum Wage, and Investment on Indonesian Poverty

Abstract

Poverty is one of the serious problems inhibiting the national development process in Indonesia. It is usually measured for a person using the benchmarked poverty line with the values observed to be different between regions. This means some areas have a high poverty line while some have a low poverty line and this further influences the poverty rate in the country. Therefore, this survey was conducted to determine the impact of People's Business Credit (KUR), State Minimum Wage (UMP) and investment on Indonesian poverty. Processes involving the use of secondary data over the period 2016-2021analyzed by multiple regression analysis using a panel data approach and E-views. The results showed that KUR and investment do not have a significant influence while UM has a significant effect on poverty alleviation.
