“…In addition, inequality in the health sector is also experienced by women because women have higher physical vulnerability so that women's health is a priority carried out by the government to improve the quality of human resources. Women are the focus of health improvement because women experience pregnancy and lactation periods where these times are the weakest conditions experienced by women so they require special attention, especially the fulfillment of nutritional adequacy (Asongu & Odhiambo, 2023b). Nutritional adequacy in mothers is related to children's health later because the prevalence of children will be stunted into a measure of children who have poor nutrition.…”

Purpose -The abundance of human resources becomes a burden on a country. On the other hand, the abundance of natural resources is an advantage if the government can use it well. The efforts made by the government are to improve the quality of human resources, including three indicators, namely healthy living, education, and decent living standards. However, it is accompanied by problems regarding gender discrimination that often occurs in various countries; this discrimination is often experienced by women, ranging from being objects of exploitation, subordination, violence and discrimination in all sectors. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Human Development Index and Gender Development Index on economic growth and the distribution of economic growth in ten provinces on the island of Sumatra in 2018-2021.Methodology -This research uses Static Panel Data Regression analysis tool and economic growth mapping using ArcGIS Findings -The results of this study show that life expectancy and Income per capita have a positive and significant effect on economic growth. Meanwhile, the Mean Year of School variables and gender development index do not affect economic growth. Based on the results of mapping the distribution of economic growth, the area with the highest economic growth is North Sumatra Province. Then the area that has the lowest economic growth is Bengkulu Province. Originality/Novelty -The novelty in this study is mapping the distribution of economic growth for ten provinces on Sumatera Island with the results of the constant effect of panel data regression output. Implications -This research is still limited to the role of human resource development on economic growth and has not examined other variables that can affect economic growth. So that future research can use a different point of view on human resource development on economic growth.

“…The richest 10% of the population own half of the wealth created (World Inequality Lab, 2018;Ngono, 2021a). Women are even more affected by these income inequalities, as they participate very little in formal economic activities (Asongu and Odhiambo, 2023).…”

The aim of this study is to determine how women's access to inheritance influences the effect of women's financial inclusion on income inequality in Africa. The study covers 47 countries between 1990 and 2014. The generalised method of moments is used as an estimation technique. It shows that women's access to bank accounts does not have a significant direct impact on reducing income inequality in the region. Access to credit, on the other hand, produced significant but ambiguous results. Women's access to inheritance has a weakly significant effect on reducing inequalities. As for the mixed effect, in countries where women have equal access to inheritance, women's financial inclusion contributes to a significant reduction in income inequality. The result is much more significant for the use dimension of women's financial inclusion and for equal access to inheritance for widows and widowers.
