Abstract

The purpose of this study was to find out how strong the influence of the Human Development Index (IPM), labor, and Gross Regional Domestic Product (GDP) on poverty in Central Java in 2017-2021 with the distribution of zakat as a moderating variable. This research is quantitative with secondary data taken from the National Baznas of Central Java Province and the BPS website. The data used is panel data, which is a combination of time series data from 2017-2021 and cross section data of 35 regencies or cities. The analysis tool uses eViews 9.0 with a random effect model selected regression analysis. The results showed that the HDI variable had a significant negative effect on poverty, while labor and GRDP had no effect on poverty. While zakat can moderate HDI and labor through poverty, zakat cannot moderate labor through poverty.
