The open unemployment rate variable has a coefficient value of -0.0502438. This means that when the exchange rate increases by Rp.1, income inequality will decrease by 0.0502438%. The open unemployment rate variable has a coefficient value of 0.0056812. This means that when the open unemployment rate increases by one percent, income inequality will increase by 0.0056812%.
