Abstract

The main goal in the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agreement is to end poverty. Appropriate and efficient government intervention is needed to reduce poverty. This research analyzes the influence of domestic investment, minimum wages and government spending in reducing poverty in East Java. Multiple linear regression analysis was used as parameter estimation for this research. The data used a time series period 2008-2022. The results show that there is a significant negative relationship between domestic investment and government spending on the poor people. This means that when domestic investment and government spending increase, it will reduce the poor people in East Java. However, this is different from the minimum wage which has a positive and significant relationship to the poor people. When the minimum wage increases, it has no effect on the number of poor people in East Java. So it can be concluded that the government can optimize domestic investment and government spending to end the problem of poverty in East Java.
