Human Development Index in West Java Province 2017–2021

Abstract

The human development index, which raises the standard of living, is one approach to gauging economic success. This study aims to examine and evaluate the impact of poverty, employment rates, minimum wages, and population size on the human development index in West Java Province from 2017 to 2021. Data were gathered via documentation methods from the Central Statistics Agency of West Java Province's website, and panel data regression was used to analyze the results. Based on the outcomes of the Chow and Hausman tests, the Fixed Effect Model was chosen for this investigation (FEM). 9 cities and 18 districts in West Java Province were included in the observation data. The study's findings show that in West Java Province, population and the human development index have no relationship with one another, but poverty, the number of persons working, and the minimum wage all significantly affect the index.
