Significant Role of Economic Growth in Alleviating Poverty

Abstract

The problem of poverty is related to various regional conditions, not only in rural areas but also in urban areas. Poverty in urban areas has its own characteristics with various factors that influence it. This study aims to determine the role of economic growth, inflation, and population growth on poverty level. This was a quantitative study with path analysis and multiple regression analysis. The results of the study evidenced that economic growth had a significant effect on poverty level with a value (tcountof 2.896). Inflation (tcountof 0.096) and population growth (tcountof 0.726) had bo significant effect on poverty levels. Open unemployment rate variable (tcountof 1.721) and human development index (tcountof 1.255) also had no significant effect on poverty level. Based on these findings, efforts to allevite poverty level need to be pursued continuously by optimizing macroeconomic variables such as the rate of economic growth and controlling the inflation rate.

“…In contrast, Bakhri et al. [ 62 ] discovered that if population growth is balanced with good human qualities, it may have a negative impact on poverty levels. According to the findings of this study, the population has no effect on poverty levels in OIC countries.…”

“…The finding shows that the population has no effect on the level of poverty in OIC countries. This could be because the population level has not been able to encourage community economic growth [ 62 , 98 ].…”
