Analysis of the Influence of Education Level, JPM, and Female Labor on Economic Growth in 10 Provinces of Sumatera Island in the Islamic Economy from 2013 to 2023

Introduction

Analysis of the influence of education level, jpm, and female labor on economic growth in 10 provinces of sumatera island in the islamic economy from 2013 to 2023. Analyzes the influence of education level, poverty (JPM), and female labor on Islamic economic growth in 10 Sumatra provinces (2013-2023). Finds education and female workforce boost growth, poverty hinders it.

Abstract

This study aims to influence the Level of Education, the Number of Poor Population and the Female Workforce on Economic Growth in 10 Provinces of Sumatra Island from 2013-2023. This study uses a quantitative approach with a panel data analysis method. Data was obtained through the Central Bureau of Statistics. The F test has a value of 0.000000. The results of this study indicate that the Level of Education and the Female Workforce have a positive and significant effect on Economic Growth, while the Number of Poor Population harms Economic Growth.

Review

This study proposes to examine the relationship between education level, poverty, and female labor force participation on economic growth across 10 provinces in Sumatera Island over a decade (2013-2023). The selection of these variables is highly relevant to understanding regional development dynamics, and the use of panel data analysis is an appropriate quantitative method for analyzing longitudinal data across multiple entities. The broad geographical scope and extended time frame offer a valuable opportunity to derive robust insights into factors influencing economic performance in a significant region of Indonesia. The stated findings regarding the positive impact of education and female labor, and the negative impact of poverty, align with much of the existing economic literature and hold significant policy implications. However, several critical issues need addressing for this work to meet academic standards. Most notably, the inclusion of "in the Islamic Economy" in the title is entirely unsubstantiated by the abstract. There is no mention of an Islamic economic framework, specific Islamic economic variables, or how this perspective informs the methodology or interpretation of results, suggesting a significant disconnect or an unfulfilled aspect of the research. Furthermore, the abstract's reporting of the "F test has a value of 0.000000" is highly rudimentary; it lacks the specific F-statistic, degrees of freedom, or the explicit hypothesis being tested, which are crucial for proper scientific reporting. The abbreviation "JPM" in the title should also be clarified or replaced with "Number of Poor Population" for immediate understanding, as used in the abstract. While the study tackles a pertinent topic with a suitable methodological approach, its current presentation requires substantial refinement. The authors must either substantively integrate the "Islamic Economy" dimension throughout their theoretical framework, methodology, and discussion of findings, or remove it from the title and scope entirely for coherence. Future iterations should also provide more comprehensive statistical reporting, including full details of the F-test, individual coefficient statistics, and possibly goodness-of-fit measures. A clearer articulation of the study's theoretical foundation and a more detailed discussion of the specific panel data model used (e.g., fixed vs. random effects, diagnostic tests) would significantly enhance the academic rigor and contribute more effectively to the literature on regional economic development.
