PERAN TINGKAT UPAH DALAM MENDORONG PERTUMBUHAN MIGRASI MASUK DI PULAU SUMATERA

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the partial effect of wage levels on the growth of in-migration in Sumatra Island during the period of 2018–2022. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) covering provinces in Sumatra Island. The dataset consists of time-series data for five years (2018–2022) and cross-sectional data from ten provinces in Sumatra. The method used in this study is panel data regression analysis, and the data were processed using E-Views software. The independent variable in this study is wage level (X), while the dependent variable is the growth of in-migration (Y). The results indicate that wage level (X) has a positive and significant effect on the growth of in-migration (Y) in Sumatra Island during the period of 2018–2022. The coefficient of determination shows that wage level (X) explains 33.00% of the variation in the growth of in-migration in Sumatra Island, while the remaining 67.00% is explained by other factors not included in the model of this study.
