Analysis of the ICT Index, GRDP Per Capita, and Gini Index on the Percentage of the Poor Population In Indonesia 2020-2022

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic that occurred in the period 2020 to 2021 had a very significant impact on the Indonesian economy, including causing a slowdown in Indonesia's economic growth, which fell from 5.02% in 2019 to 2.97% in 2020 and an increase in the poverty rate in Indonesia from 9.41% in 2019 then increasing to 9.78% in 2020 and rising again to 10.14% in 2021. The Information and Communications Technology Development Index (IP-TIK), Gross Regional Domestic Per Capita, and the Gini Index in a region influence the poverty rate of the population in that region. In this research, the author wants to know how much influence these variables have on the percentage of poor people in Indonesia. This research uses panel data regression analysis for 2020, 2021, to 2022. Panel data was processed from 34 provinces in Indonesia in the 2020-2022 time period with the eviews 12 application. A series of model tests found that the Fixed Effect Model was the most suitable. The results of the research show that there is quite a significant influence of those variables on the percentage of poor people in Indonesia in 2020-2022. The results of this research can be a basis for the Government to continue to improve services to the community in terms of developing information and communication technology infrastructure and further reducing inequality in society.
