Economic development aims to improve the well-being of the population, as reflected in the increase of the Human Development Index (HDI). Although the HDI in the regencies/cities of Bali Province has risen, income disparity persists. Reducing income distribution inequality can be achieved by creating decent job opportunities, lowering unemployment rates, and providing adequate income to ensure a good quality of life for workers. The objectives of this study are (1) To analyse the simultaneous effect of unemployment, economic growth and human development index on income distribution inequality in regencies/cities in Bali Province. (2) To analyse the partial effect of unemployment, economic growth and human development index on income distribution inequality in regencies/municipalities in Bali Province. The data used is secondary data, with 117 observation points. The analysis technique used is panel data regression model technique. The results showed that (1) Unemployment, economic growth and human development index simultaneously affect the inequality of income distribution in regencies/cities in Bali Province. (2) Unemployment and economic growth have a positive effect but not significant on income distribution inequality, while the human development index has a negative and significant effect on income distribution inequality.    

Public welfare is the ultimate goal of every economic development. HDI as an indicator of welfare in Indonesia continues to increase from year to year, but is very volatile. The province with the highest HDI points is DKI Jakarta province and the lowest is Papua Province. This shows that the increase has not occurred significantly and there are still disparities in several provinces in Indonesia. This research aims (1) To analyze  the direct influence of GRDP and minimum wages on poverty in Indonesian provinces in 2018-2022. (2) To analyze the influence of GRDP, minimum wage and poverty directly on HDI in Indonesian provinces in 2018-2022. (3) To analyze the influence of GRDP and minimum wages on HDI indirectly through poverty in Indonesian provinces in 2018-2022. This research uses secondary data obtained from BPS publications during 2018-2022, with a total of 170 observation points. The data analysis technique used is path analysis with the help of EViews 10 software. The results of the study indicate that PDRB has a significant negative direct effect on poverty, Provincial Minimum Wage has a significant positive direct effect on poverty, both PDRB and Provincial Minimum Wage have a significant positive direct effect on the HDI, and poverty has a significant negative direct effect on the HDI. Poverty is not an intervening variable in the relationship between PDRB and the HDI, but it is an intervening variable in the relationship between Provincial Minimum Wage and the HDI. The implications of this research are that successful economic policies must integrate increases in Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) and Minimum Wage as primary strategies to reduce poverty levels and enhance the Human Development Index (HDI) in Indonesian provinces. Significant increases in GRDP contribute to poverty reduction by evenly distributing economic benefits to disadvantaged groups. Meanwhile, strengthened Minimum Wage policies can elevate worker incomes, bolster purchasing power, and improve access to education and healthcare, thereby potentially boosting HDI. Prioritising poverty reduction is crucial for enhancing overall quality of life, thereby creating better conditions for economic growth and social welfare at the provincial level

This study aims to analyze significant changes in Indonesia's constitutional law, particularly regarding the Constitutional Court's decision on the age limit for presidential and regional head candidates. Decision No. 78/PUU-XXI/2023 lowers the minimum age, previously set at 40 years, to be more inclusive for younger generations. Using a normative juridical approach, this research evaluates the legal and political impacts of this change and its implications for Indonesia's electoral system.

This decision is anticipated to facilitate broader participation from younger generations, both as voters and potential leaders. However, debates remain regarding the experience and competence of young leadership candidates. In conclusion, the Constitutional Court's decision reflects a move towards a more inclusive democracy but requires additional policies to ensure that young leaders elected possess adequate capacity to manage governance.
