“…Her estimates are included in Figure 6 and are in line with the values we find in the respective stages of development in the cross section. 13 Thus, in line with the cross-country evidence of a decline in hours worked per worker with income, in the majority of countries hours per worker are also declining in the individual wage. Only for the richest countries does the relationship between hours and individual wages turn positive.…”

This paper builds a new internationally comparable database of hours worked to measure how hours vary with income across and within countries. We document that average hours worked per adult are substantially higher in low-income countries than in high-income countries. The pattern of decreasing hours with aggregate income holds for both men and women, for adults of all ages and education levels, and along both the extensive and intensive margin. Within countries, hours worked per worker are also decreasing in the individual wage for most countries, though in the richest countries, hours worked are flat or increasing in the wage. One implication of our findings is that aggregate productivity and welfare differences across countries are larger than currently thought. (JEL E23, E24, J22, J31, O11, O15)

“…Based on the general concepts proposed by various parties, inclusive growth is defined as the development which gives access to all groups of people and provides enough benefits to the community, and help to alleviate poverty (Ali & Zhuang, 2007;Anand et al, 2013;Ifzal & Son, 2007;Klasen, 2017;McKinley, 2010;Rauniyar & Kanbur, 2010). Several dimensions implicitly relate to the concept of economic growth, including income distribution, Gap (Gini ratio), absorption of labor described by the working population, and poverty.…”

The poverty level in Buru Regency is still high, despite the relatively stable economic growth. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to (1) Identify the leading commodity in each district in Buru Regency; (2) Analyze the effect of road infrastructure and leading commodities on poverty. The findings show that the most sparsely populated district is Fena Leisela, with mangoes as the leading commodity. Pineapple, langsat, apple rose, cabbages, cashews, coffee, cashew, melon, and watermelon are the leading products in Air Buaya, Batabual, Waplau, Lolong Guba, Lilialy, Waelata, Namlea, Kaiely Bay, and Waeapo, respectively. Additionally, the results also indicate that road infrastructure and leading commodities have a significant effect on poverty alleviation in Buru Regency. It means that improving infrastructure and increasing leading commodities production reduce poverty in the region. Good road infrastructure can promote connectivity between regions so that it can accelerate and expand economic development. The provision of infrastructure that encourages connectivity will reduce transportation costs and logistics costs to increase product competitiveness and accelerate the economic movement. When the road infrastructure in Buru Regency improves and new roads are built, it can improve transportation access, it will reduce the living cost for the poor and increase income, and open up opportunities for the poor to benefit from economic growth.

“…However, it is not enough if it is not followed by inclusive development (Ali & Son, 2007;Neaime & Gaysset, 2018). Inclusive development is defined as growth, which creates not only new economic opportunities but also guarantees equal access to opportunities created for all segments of the population, especially for the poor (Ali & Son, 2007, Nanda & Kaur, 2016. An inclusive financial system will increase the efficiency of financial services and the welfare of the population (Grohmann et.…”
