STUDI PEMETAAN WILAYAH TERTINGGAL DI INDONESIA

Abstract

The percentage of lagging regions in Indonesia is still relatively high. On the other hand, high economic growth was also not able to reduce the percentage of lagging regions in Indonesia. Many poverty reduction programs carried out but cannot provide meaningful results. Therefore, this study aims to map the regions lagging behind in Indonesia in the hope that the focus of poverty reduction programs starting from the left that have not been able to catch up. The mapping is viewed through the convergence rate of economic growth and the level of dispersion. The results of this study indicate that almost all the regions / provinces in Indonesia cannot be left behind to catch up. From thirty provinces in Indonesia, twenty-six provinces of which indicate that the growth of gross regional domestic product (GDP) per capita is divergent and the fifteen provinces of which the dispersion increases. This translates into twenty-six provinces are difficult to catch. In addition, the increased propensity of the dispersion shows GDP per capita level of deployment is very lame. In contrast, only four provinces, namely Jambi, South Sumatra, West Java, lamping and per capita GDP growth shows convergent and can catch up and only the province of West Java that the dispersion shows a declining tendency. Keywords: absolute convergence, sigma convergence, economic growth.
