Abstract

Poverty is still a major problem in the development process in Indonesia. The regions of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and Papua are regions whose development is lagging behind compared to other regions in Indonesia. According to the Central Statistics Agency, in 2013, the poverty rate in Papua reached 26.68% and NTT was in third place with a poverty rate of 20.14%. Several factors that cause poverty include unemployment and the human development index. The aim of this research is to determine the effect of unemployment and the human development index on poverty levels in NTT and Papua for the 2013-2022 period. This research uses multiple linear regression analysis methods with a descriptive approach. The research results show that the Human Development Index (HDI) has a more significant influence on poverty in Papua than in NTT. Meanwhile, unemployment does not have a significant effect on poverty in these two regions. However, the direction of the influence is different, namely positive in NTT and negative in Papua.
