ABSTRACT

The Nine Priority Programmes (Nawacita) is a Jokowi administration programme that aims to improve infrastructure development to connect peripheral areas. This study aims to determine the relationship of infrastructure to income inequality between regions in Indonesia during the Jokowi administration. This research uses secondary data sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Public Works and Housing, and the State Electricity Company in 2015-2022. The analytical tool used is Panel Data. The results of this study show that sanitation infrastructure only has a negative and significant effect in Western Indonesia, telecommunications infrastructure has a positive and significant effect in Central Indonesia, and electricity infrastructure has a significant negative effect in Eastern Indonesia.
