Abstract

The Banjar City Government has taken various steps to alleviate poverty. Between 2020 and 2024, the poverty rate in Banjar City decreased by around 0.3% annually, indicating that poverty alleviation in Banjar City has been effective. However, this poverty reduction was not followed by an improvement in the consumption power of the poor population as represented by the Poverty Depth Index (IKK P1). To investigate this condition, a multidimensional study was conducted with a quantitative approach with secondary data analyzed through multiple linear regression. This study aims to identify the main drivers of poverty alleviation and factors contributing to low expenditure among poor households in Banjar City. The results indicate that school enrollment rates are the main factor influencing poverty reduction, with a significance level of 0.980. Meanwhile, the factor influencing the low expenditure of the poor population in Banjar City is inflation with a significance level of 0.620.
