Pengaruh Tingkat Pendidikan, Pertumbuhan Ekonomi, dan Jumlah Penduduk terhadap Tingkat Kemiskinan di Kabupaten Hulu Sungai Tengah

Abstract

Poverty is a major problem in the economy. Therefore it needs to be studied to
find solutions to reduce poverty in an area. This study aims to determine the effect of
education level, economic growth, and whether the population has a significant effect
on poverty levels in the Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency.
This research was carried out in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency using multiple
linear regression with secondary data obtained from BPS South Kalimantan and BPS
in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency using time series data from 2001 to 2017. The data
was analyzed using Eviews by looking at the magnitude of the coefficient of
determination test (R
2
test), simultaneous test (F test), and partial test (T-test).

Adjusted R

2, which shows the effect of independent variables on the dependent
variable, has a strong effect of 79,42%. THE probability F count of 0,000025 is
smaller than 0,05, which means the estimated regression model is worth using for
research. The results obtained from research conducted using the T-test showed that
the level of education and the number of inhabitants had a significant effect, but
economic growth had no significant effect on poverty levels in the Hulu Sungai
Tengah Regency.
