The flourishing of economic activity that occurs does not go hand in hand with the welfare of the people, in fact income inequality on the island of Java is the highest, this is of course caused by several factors. The aim of this research is to determine the factors that are thought to influence income inequality in each province on the island of Java for the period 2016-2021, including the variables Financial Inclusion, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) Per Capita, and Human Development Index (HDI). The total sample used was 36 data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency and Bank Indonesia. The analysis used is panel data regression analysis with the best model, namely the Fixed Effect Model (FEM), which was then developed into Feasible Generalized Least Square (FGLS). Partial research results show that GRDP per capita negatively and significantly influences income inequality, HDI positively and significantly influences income inequality, while financial inclusion does not positively and significantly influence income inequality. Meanwhile, all independent variables simultaneously influence income inequality on the island of Java.
