Abstract
The Human Development Index (HDI) and poverty have a complex relationship. Generally, HDI is negatively correlated with the poverty rate. This research aims to examine the influence of the Human Development Index on the poverty rate in Indonesia. The research utilizes a quantitative approach and relies on secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency of the Republic of Indonesia, which is analyzed using simple linear regression. Based on the data analysis results, significant values (t-test and F-test) were obtained at 0.000, which is less than the significance level (α) of 0.05. Thus, the Human Development Index (X) has a negative and significant influence on poverty in Indonesia (Y). Meanwhile, the coefficient of determination (R Square) yielded a value of 0.836, indicating that 83.6 percent of the variation in poverty is influenced by the Human Development Index, while the remaining 16.4 percent is affected by other variables outside the model. HDI reflects a country's level of development through three key dimensions: health, education, and living standards. A high HDI can contribute to poverty reduction by improving access to education, healthcare, and a better standard of living. Efforts to enhance HDI and reduce poverty must be accompanied by integrated and sustainable strategies, including investments in education, healthcare, economic empowerment, and inequality reduction.
