Effect of poverty rate and employment opportunities on regional zakat revenue: A panel data evidence from southwestern region of Aceh province

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the impact of poverty levels and employment opportunities on regional zakat revenue. Utilizing panel data from eight districts in the southwestern region of Aceh province, the analytical model employed is panel regression. The research reveals that employment opportunities have a positive and significant effect on zakat revenue. Conversely, poverty levels do not have a significant impact. These findings imply that local government efforts in the southwestern region of Aceh can be directed towards policy interventions focused on increasing employment opportunities. Keywords: Regional zakat revenue, poverty rates, employment opportunities, panel regression.
