owth, educational attainment, and the open unemployment rate on poverty across nine regencies in South Sulawesi during the 2016–2025 period. This research employed a quantitative approach using panel data obtained from the Statistics Indonesia. The research sample consisted of nine regencies that consistently recorded high poverty rates, namely Selayar Islands Regency, Jeneponto Regency, Pangkajene and Islands Regency, Bone Regency, Enrekang Regency, Luwu Regency, Tana Toraja Regency, North Luwu Regency, and North Toraja Regency. The analytical method applied was panel data regression using the Common Effect Model (CEM), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM), with the optimal model selected through the Chow test and Hausman test. The findings reveal that GRDP growth has a negative effect on poverty, educational attainment has a negative and statistically significant effect on poverty, whereas the open unemployment rate has a positive effect on poverty. Simultaneously, GRDP growth, educational attainment, and the open unemployment rate significantly influence poverty in South Sulawesi. These findings suggest that poverty alleviation policies should prioritize equitable economic growth, improvements in educational quality, and the expansion of productive employment opportunities.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the effect of government financial report accountability on the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 1 in Indonesia. The study used secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics…
stics Agency (BPS) and the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK). The study sample consisted of 456 local governments with an observation period of 2021–2022, resulting in 912 observations. The analytical method used was panel data regression with the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) approach and the Random Effects Model (REM). The results showed that government financial report accountability has a positive and significant effect on the achievement of SDG 1. The coefficient value of 0.645 with a significance level of 0.000 indicates that the better the level of local government accountability, the higher the achievement of poverty alleviation. This study proves that transparent, accountable, and effective financial governance can support the success of government programs in improving public welfare and accelerating the achievement of sustainable development in Indonesia.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the factors that affect rice consumption in South Sulawesi Province using a panel data approach for 2018–2024. The dependent variables used are rice consumption (tons), while the independent variables…
variables include per capita income, household size, rice production, human development index (HDI), and percentage of poor population. The analysis was performed with a panel data regression model using R software, with a series of model specification tests including the Chow test, the Hausman test, and the Lagrange Multiplier (LM) test. The best model obtained is the Fixed Effect Model (FEM). Partially, the variables of household size and rice production had a significant negative effect on rice consumption, while HDI had a significant positive effect. The variables of per capita income and poverty level have a negative but not significant effect. These results indicate that rice consumption in South Sulawesi is more influenced by social aspects and quality of life than purely economic factors. These findings affirm the importance of food security policies that focus on improving human development, rice distribution efficiency, and strengthening social protection programs to maintain the stability of household food consumption.
Abstract:The problem of poverty is still the main challenge for development in rural areas of Indonesia. Limited employment opportunities and low access to productive economic activities cause some village communities to be economically…
mically vulnerable. One of the sectors that is considered to have great potential in reducing poverty levels is Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This article aims to conceptually examine the role of MSMEs in efforts to reduce poverty in rural communities by taking the context of Bantaeng Regency. The writing method uses a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature studies of scientific journals, reference books, and relevant official government documents published in the last five years. The results of the study show that MSMEs play a role as a driver of the local economy through the creation of job opportunities, increasing household income, and strengthening the economic independence of communities based on local potential. However, the development of MSMEs in rural areas is still faced with various structural obstacles, such as limited capital, low managerial capacity of business actors, and limited market access. Therefore, policy support and cross-stakeholder synergy are needed to optimize the role of MSMEs as an instrument to reduce poverty in rural areas
Abstract:Human resource development through education is frequently linked to the worldwide problem of poverty reduction. Education is essential in building human resources to improve skills and knowledge to get good job opportunities.…
ities. This article analyses the existing literature on how education can reduce poverty. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement was used as the review methodology, and a systematic review of the Google Scholar database was carried out using Publish or Perish, which identified 99 relevant studies. In this review, education is usually evaluated from two aspects: the quality and the education level. The results of this review confirm the general conclusion that education is an essential tool for poverty reduction. Through education, people acquire knowledge and skills that can be used to get better jobs and ultimately reduce poverty. Some of the recommendations are more development research to improve the quality of education, and education policies must focus on long-term investments to overcome poverty.

de kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan Teori Resepsi Encoding/ Decoding dari Stuart Hall untuk melihat bagaimana Masyarakat menafsirkan informasi yang beredar di berbagai platform media sosial. Fokus penelitian diarahkan perbedaan antara citra positif yang ditampilkan dalam video TikTok dengan fakta di balik layar yang kemudian diungkap melalui kanal YouTube Podcast Bang Denny Sumargo. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa citra Willie Salim sebagai kreator dermawan yang aktif membantu masyarakat selama periode 2023–2025 mengalami penurunan kepercayaan setelah muncul dugaan bahwa sebagian konten giveaway dibuat secara terencana atau settingan. Konten-konten tersebut sebelumnya berhasil menarik perhatian publik dengan jutaan penonton dan ratusan ribu likes. Temuan Penelitian juga memperlihatkan bahwa banyak netizen menganggap konten tersebut sebagai bentuk eksploitasi kemiskinan atau poverty porn demi mendapatkan perhatian dan popularitas di media sosial. Reaksi masyarakat kemudian terbagi menjadi beberapa kelompok. Sebagian besar berada pada posisi oposisi, yaitu menolak dan mengkritik tindakan tersebut karena dianggap tidak jujur. Sebagian lainnya berada pada posisi negosiasi, yaitu tetap mengkritik kebohongan dalam konten tetapi masih menghargai adanya bantuan yang diberikan kepada masyarakat. Sementara itu, kelompok yang sepenuhnya mendukung Willie Salim semakin sedikit dan umumnya berasal dari pengikut setia yang tetap percaya pada sang kreator. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa terbukanya informasi dari berbagai platform media sosial membuat audiens tidak lagi menjadi penonton pasif, tetapi lebih kritis dalam menilai konten digital. Fenomena ini juga menunjukkan meningkatnya kesadaran masyrakat terhadap pentingnya kejujuran, etika komunikasi, dan tanggung jawab moral dalam dunia media sosial.
Abstract:Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi integrasi spiritualitas Hendricus Leven ke dalam dimensi-dimensi kehidupan modern sebagai upaya mengatasi krisis makna dan dikotomi eksistensial di abad ke-21. Di tengah disrupsi teknologi dan…
an materialisme yang memicu kekosongan batin poverty of spirit, pemikiran Leven menawarkan paradigma spiritualitas yang inklusif dan holistik. Masalah utama yang diangkat adalah adanya pemisahan tajam antara ritus keagamaan dengan perilaku sosial dan praktis dalam masyarakat kontemporer. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk merekonstruksi konstruksi pemikiran Leven serta menganalisis integrasinya dalam dimensi intrapersonal, interpersonal, ekologis, dan transedental guna menciptakan keseimbangan hidup. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi literatur library research. Analisis dilakukan melalui teknik analisis konten terhadap karya-karya mengenai Hendricus Leven serta sintesis teoritis dengan literatur spiritualitas kontemporer. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa spiritualitas Leven merupakan sebuah “cara berada” way of being yang menjembatani jurang antara hal sakral dan profan. Secara intrapersonal, Leven menekankan pentingnya keheningan produktif untuk integritas diri. Dalam dimensi interpersonal, ia mewujudkan solidaritas dan belaras sebagai bentuk ibadah nyata. Pada dimensi ekologis, pemikirannya memandang alam sebagai ruang sakral yang haris dijaga, sementara secara transedental, ia menekankan kehadiran Tuhan dalam tugas keseharian yang sederhana. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa integrasi spiritualitas Leven memberikan peta jalan bagi manusia modern untuk mencapai keutuhan eksistensial. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah perlunya transformasi gaya hidup yang lebih sadar dan bertanggung jawab, di mana pelayanan kepada sesama dan alam menjadi manifestasi iman yang hidup. Nilai-nilai ini direkomendasikan untuk diintegrasikan dalam kurikulum pendidikan karakter demi terciptanya masyarakat yang labih humanis dan spiritual.

th understanding, this research investigates the content of the extent to which the characters' analytical experiences are in line with Karl Marx's views on class struggle. Findings show emotional representations of poverty, depicted through the return of a person recently released from prison to meet basic needs, and social discrimination, such as the rejection of homeless groups as local residents. This research deepens the understanding of economic structures and dominance interactions, providing insight into the complex relationship between societal forces and individual experiences in this novel. The aim of this research is to understand the various forms of poverty and social discrimination by utilizing the Marxist theory proposed by Karl Marx.
Abstract:Islamic economics operates as a normative framework prioritizing social justice, equitable wealth redistribution, and collective wellbeing. Despite its robust philosophical foundations, empirical consensus regarding how…
these tenets translate into measurable welfare outcomes across heterogeneous developing nations remains highly fragmented. This study addresses this critical gap by executing a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA 2020 statement to synthesize empirical evidence on the operationalization of Zakat, Waqf, and Islamic Social Finance (ISF) as structural instruments for poverty reduction. Departing from traditional descriptive reviews, this paper introduces an original analytical taxonomy that maps the operational mechanics of ISF against micro-level and macro-level development outcomes. Based on a rigorous multi-stage screening of peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025 across emerging economies, a final synthesized sample of $n = 10$ high-quality primary articles was evaluated. The qualitative narrative synthesis reveals that integrated ISF instruments exert a structurally positive impact on poverty alleviation, income optimization, and socio-economic empowerment, particularly when embedded within digital financial ecosystems and formal financial inclusion frameworks. However, the analysis uncovers substantial outcome heterogeneity, demonstrating that welfare efficacy is highly conditional upon institutional governance quality, targeting accuracy, and localized implementation designs. The structural novelty of this research lies in its empirical crystallization of the explicit boundary conditions under which normative faith-based capital successfully disrupts poverty traps, offering an evidence-based operational blueprint for policymakers and Sharia social institutions in the Global South.
