The Effect of Economic Growth, Education Level, and Energy Subsidies on Income Inequality in Indonesia in 2005-2019

Income equality is the ideal of every country, to achieve it requires cooperation between the government and the community. This study aims to determine the effect of economic growth, education level, and energy subsidies on income inequality in Indonesia. This study used secondary data in the form of time series in 2005-2019 obtained from the world bank, the central statistics agency and the Ministry of Finance. The method used in this study is multiple regression analysis. The results obtained in this study show that the variable level of education and energy subsidies actually increases income inequality due to suboptimal policies, while the economic growth variable does not reduce income inequality due to economic activities focused on the upper class.
