Investigation into Elements Influencing Poverty Rates in Eastern Indonesia

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing poverty rates in Eastern Indonesia. Given the complexity of the problem, this study uses a multidimensional approach to analyze the relationship between various social, economic, and geographical elements with poverty levels. Data analysis methods include primary and secondary data collection, as well as descriptive statistical techniques and regression analysis. The results highlight the role of infrastructure, education, access to healthcare, and economic factors in influencing poverty rates in the region. Policy implications include the need to increase investment in infrastructure, education, and skills training, as well as efforts to improve access to health services and economic empowerment of local communities.
