This research examines the impact of the open unemployment rate, average years of schooling, and population growth on poverty levels in districts and municipalities across East Java Province during the 2019-2023 period. By employing panel data regression and a quantitative approach, the study identifies key determinants of poverty and visualizes their geospatial distribution. The findings indicate that the open unemployment rate significantly increases poverty, whereas the average years of schooling significantly reduces it. On the other hand, population growth exhibits a positive but statistically insignificant effect. A simultaneous test confirms that the independent variables collectively influence poverty, contributing 99.03% to its variation. The study underscores the importance of improving access to education, creating employment opportunities, and managing population growth as essential strategies for poverty alleviation. These findings are intended to serve as a foundation for strategic and sustainable poverty reduction policies in East Java.

Musyarakah Mutanaqisah (MMQ) is a form of sharia-based financing that offers a home ownership solution free from elements of interest (riba). This article aims to analyze the application of the MMQ contract in housing finance, compare it with the conventional mortgage scheme (Kredit Pemilikan Rumah/KPR), and evaluate its impact on community welfare. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through literature review of academic sources, regulations, and other relevant data.

Nevertheless, its implementation still faces challenges such as the risk of default and the need for strengthened risk management systems. Therefore, collaboration between Islamic financial j, the government, and the public is essential to optimize the potential of MMQ as a fair and sustainable alternative for home financing
