- Abstract
Poverty is the main focus in many countries. As in Indonesia, which includes the developing countries that the problems of poverty, welfare and lack of employment are important issues. Using the basic theory of the Poverty of the Poverty Circle (Vicious Cycle of Poverty) by Ragnar Nurkse (1953), the objective of this research was to determine the factors that influence on poverty in Indonesia. The data used were cross-section micro data obtained from IFLS5 (Indonesia Family Life Survey 5) in 2014. Data analysis was done by OLS regression with BLUE criteria. Results of this research showed partially education, health, and internet had a significant effect on poverty with a significance level of 1%. Simultaneously the three variables have a significant effect on poverty with a prob value of 0,000. The determination coefficient was 3.2%, meaning that the influence of the three variables on poverty was 3.2% while the other 96.8% was influenced by other variables. This is due to the many factors that influence poverty such as education facilities, health facilities, telecommunications and transportation network. For a better and meaningful result, we suggested to add the primary data of education, health and the internet from all of provinces in Indonesia.
