Abstract

An important goal of development is to reduce poverty. Indonesia is one of the members of the United Nations who signed the SDGs resolution, where the first goal is no poverty. Papua Province always ranks first in the highest poverty rate in Indonesia. Unstable economic growth and the dominance of the mining sector against the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) is one of the factors affecting poverty levels in Papua Province. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between development inequality and economic growth on poverty in Papua Province in 2010–2018. The variables of this study included development disparity, economic realization of economic functions, percentage of paved roads, economic growth rate, mining sector rate and poverty. This study utilized panel data analysis. The results showed that the realization of economic functions and the percentage of the paved roads had a negative impact, while development inequality, growth rates and the pace of the mining sector had a positive impact on poverty in Papua Province.
