Human development is a critical aspect of regional development, reflecting improvements in health, education, and living standards. In Western Indonesia, disparities in human development are influenced by various factors, including economic growth, education spending, health expenditure, and poverty levels. This study aims to investigate the effects of these factors on human development across provinces in Western Indonesia. Using data from 2017 to 2024, a multiple linear regression model is applied to analyze the relationships between economic growth, education spending, health expenditure, and poverty on human development outcomes. The results suggest that while economic growth and education spending do not significantly impact human development, health expenditure has a positive and significant effect. Additionally, poverty has a significant negative effect on human development. The findings highlight the importance of adequate investment in the health sector and targeted poverty reduction policies to enhance human development outcomes in the region.
