Reducing poverty strategy through educational participation, clean water, and sanitation in Indonesia

Abstract

Addressing the poverty gap is the key to improving economic welfare and improving the structure of purchasing power in society. This paper wants to analyze how increased education participation, access to clean water, and sanitation water reduce poverty disparities. The data analyzed in this study covered 501 districts and cities throughout Indonesia in 2018. The methodology used was an econometric approach with multiple regression equation models with robustness provisions. The calculation results prove that the model has been robust and all variables selected have a significant effect on the degree of freedom of 5% for all districts and cities in Indonesia. This study suggests that education policy priorities, the availability of clean water and adequate distribution, and sanitation facilities are needed to reduce the poverty gap.
