Abstract

Regional development disparities remain a major issue in Bali Province, where economic growth is driven by tourism and concentrated in the southern region. This condition is suspected to widen development gaps between southern and other areas. This study analyzes the influence of Local Own-Source Revenue, Labor Force Participation Rate, Human Development Index, and population size on regional inequality in Bali Province. The research uses a quantitative approach with panel data regression for nine regencies/cities during the 2018–2024 period. Regional inequality is measured using the Williamson Index and analyzed with the Fixed Effect Model using STATA software. The results show that LOSR, LFPR, and HDI positively affect regional inequality, while population size has a significant negative effect in Bali Province.
