Determination of Poverty, Unemployment, Economic Growth, and Investment in West Sumatra Province

This research aims to examine the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation in Indonesia during the 1984-2022 period by using a simultaneous equation approach. Furthermore, this study considers several determinants, which consist of investment, inflation, income inequality, fossil consumption and poverty. This relationship is worth studying, especially in relation to Indonesia because Indonesia is one of the developing countries that is trying to achieve sustainable development as agreed in the sustainable development goals. The findings of this study include economic growth affecting environmental degradation by 1.15 percent and environmental degradation affecting economic growth by 2.41 percent. Furthermore, economic growth was strengthened by investment and weakened by inflation and income inequality. Then, environmental degradation is reinforced by income inequality, consumption of fuel oil and poverty. This study recommends that the government implement a sustainable development policy with the principle of meeting the needs of the present without sacrificing meeting the needs of future generations.

“…There are low standard deviations and small interquartile ranges on these causes. Therefore, all experts agree that some causes, such as the absence of job vacancies in home country, poverty, economic prospects, language similarity with the home country, distance to the destination country, and living costs in the destination country, are factors causing international labor migration [41,42]. Some causes, such as the absence of vacancies in the home country, poverty, poor economic prospects in the home country, and language similarity boost international labor migration.…”

The expectation was a crucial element in the decision-making process about migration, so this study analyzed the impact of economic prospects on international labor migration on Java Island. The data sourced from the Indonesian Statistics includes international labor migration, economic prospects, unemployment, wage difference, and poverty in six provinces on Java Island from 2011 to 2020. This study utilized regression analysis based on the Panel Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) and the Panel Dynamic Ordinary Least Square (DOLS). This method was complemented by expert judgments summarized in the Delphi analysis to identify the causes of international labor migration. The result shows that improving economic prospects negatively affects international labor migration. The better economic prospects would be followed by lower international labor migration. Meanwhile, increased unemployment and poverty rates lead to a rise in international labor migration. However, the wage difference has no impact on international labor migration. The Delphi analysis revealed that international labor migration is associated with some causes, such as vacancies in the home country, poverty, economic prospects in the home province, language similarity with the home country, distance to the destination country, and living costs in the destination country. Nevertheless, the wage difference between the wage rate in home country and the destination countries unrelated to international labor migration.

“…This research uses a quantitative descriptive method. This descriptive method is used to investigate the value of a variable independently, either one or more variables, without create comparisons or linking between variables [19].…”

This research analyzes the effect of inclusive green growth and inclusive human development in Indonesia simultaneously. The research time period is from 2011-2019 in 34 provinces in Indonesia. The simultaneous equation method is used to answer the hypotheses that are built. These findings show that inclusive green growth is influenced by inclusive human development, regional financial performance and industrialization. In addition, inclusive human development in Indonesia is influenced by inclusive green growth and democracy. Natural disasters have no effect on inclusive human development. These results provide suggestions for equitable distribution of human development, improvement of regional financial performance, deindustrialization and improvement of democracy.
