THE INFLUENCE OF ECONOMIC GROWTH, INVESTMENT, HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, AND INFLATION ON INEQUALITY DISTRIBUTION OF INCOME IN INDONESIA 2015-2019

Income distribution inequality is a common problem in both developing and developed countries. Inequality in income distribution reflects the disparity in income received between layers of society. The existence of income distribution inequality can affect the efficiency of an economy and thus the welfare of the society. This research aims to analyze how selected variables such as economic growth, investment, human development, and inflation affect income distribution inequality in Indonesia. This research uses panel data processed by multiple linear regression and uses quantitative descriptive analysis techniques collected in the 2015 to 2019-time period to estimate the results of the selected variables. In this research, the fixed effect regression model was selected as the most suitable regression method to obtain optimal results. The results show that partially, human development is the only selected variable that has a significant influence on income distribution inequality, but simultaneously, all independent variables have a significant influence on income distribution inequality in Indonesia.
