Abstract
Poverty is a major problem in the economy. Therefore it needs to be studied to find solutions to reduce poverty in an area. This study aims to determine the effect of education level, economic growth and whether the population has a significant effect on poverty levels in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency.This research was carried out in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency using multiple linear regression with secondary data obtained from BPS South Kalimantan and BPS in Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency using time series data from 2001 to 2017. The data was analyzed using Eviews by looking at the magnitude of the coefficient of determination test (R2 test), simultaneous test (F test), and partial test (T test).Adjusted R2 which shows the effect of independent variables on the dependent variable has a strong effect of 79,42%. Probability F count of 0,000025 is smaller than 0,05 which means the estimated regression model is worth using for research. The results obtained from research conducted using the T test showed that the level of education and the number of inhabitants had a significant effect, but economic growth had no significant effect on poverty levels in the Hulu Sungai Tengah Regency.keywords: poverty level, education level, economic growth, and population

Summary
Kemiskinan ialah situasi pendapatan tahunan individu suatu kawasan tidak memenuhi standar pengeluaran paling kecil yang dibutuhkan individu agar dapat hidup layak di kawasan tersebut (Siregar & Wahyuni, 2007). Bila penyediaan lapangan pekerjaan tidak dapat mengimbangi dengan perkembangan penduduk cepat maka banyak penduduk yang menganggur dan pada akhirnya hanya akan membuat standar hidup menjadi lebih rendah terhadap bangsanya. Sebaliknya, negara berkembang seperti halnya indonesia, pertumbuhan penduduk justru merupakan suatu rintangan dalam perkembangan perekonomian dikarenakan negara berkembang umumnya lebih sedikit modal dan tabungan (Irwan, 1992) Penelitian Terdahulu. Penelitian terdahulu dari Vendi Wijanarko tahun 2013 judulnya adalah FaktorFaktor yang Mempengaruhi Kemiskinan diKecamatan Jelbuk Kabupaten Jamber yang menggunakan analisis regresi linier berganda, dengan hasil penalitian curahan jam kerja berpengaruh signifikan yang berarti semakin tinggi jam kerja maka akan menigkatkan penghasilan yang didapat, pendidikan berpegaruh signifikan dapat dijelaskan bahwa semakin tinggi pendidikan akan mengembangkan penghasilan yang didapat, dan usia tidak berpengaruh signifikan kepada penghasilan seseorang
