Abstract

This study comprehensively analyzes the effect of GRDP per capita and Human Development Index (HDI) on income inequality in six provinces in Sulawesi Island during the period 2010-2023, using a panel data approach with the Random Effect Model (REM) method. The results show that GRDP per capita has a negative and significant effect on income inequality, where an increase in GRDP per capita correlates with a decrease in the gini ratio by 0.33%. In contrast, HDI has a positive and significant effect, where each increase in HDI causes an increase in income inequality by 1.204%. With a coefficient of determination (R2) of 41.15%, this study shows that the combination of GRDP per capita and HDI contributes significantly to the variation in income inequality in the study areas. This finding underscores the importance of policy strategies that focus on economic diversification and improving access to education and equitable health services as concrete steps to reduce income inequality in Sulawesi Island.
