Abstract
Problems that are often faced by developing countries are income inequality and economic inequality caused by the increase of population each year. The average rate of income inequality on the island of Sulawesi is higher when compared to other large islands. Therefore, the current research is conducted to find out what factors affect income inequality on the island of Sulawesi. The results show that the most dominant influence is Population Density, Gross Fixed Capital Formation (PMTB), Unemployment, Information Technology Development Index, Human Development Index and the least dominant influence is inflation. The results also state that population density does not significantly affect income inequality, explaining that population density has a U-like relationship to income inequality, a condition which in a certain period has a positive impact and if it continues to increase will have a negative impact.
