Abstract

Poverty remains a major structural issue in East Java Province, as evidenced by variations in poverty levels across districts and cities. This investigation evaluates the implications of education, minimum wage, and unemployment on poverty levels in East Java during the 2022–2024 period, grounded in the Vicious Circle of Poverty theory, which highlights the interconnectedness of human resources, employment opportunities, and income in perpetuating poverty. The present study applies a quantitative approach using panel data that merges cross-sectional datasets from 38 districts/cities with time-series records for 2022–2024, acquired from the BPS, and analyzed using panel regression models. The empirical evidence suggests that education imposes a significant negative effect on poverty, minimum wage exerts a negative yet statistically non-significant effect, and unemployment demonstrates a positive and significant impact; in unison, these three factors exert a statistically meaningful collective influence. Therefore, integrated policies are essential to enhance education, foster formal employment, and strengthen wage policies.
