Analysis of the Number of Educational Facilities, Health Facilities, and Job Training Institutions on HDI in Indonesia in 2023

Indonesia is ranked 113 out of 193 countries in 2023 and is classified as high human development, but it shows a lag among ASEAN countries. This study aims to analyze the extent to which the quantity of schools, health centers, and vocational training institutions contribute to increasing the Human Development Index (HDI) in Indonesia by 2023. HDI is seen as a comprehensive indicator that represents the quality of life of people through three dimensions, namely health, education, and decent standard of living. The method used is a descriptive quantitative approach by utilizing cross-section secondary data from 34 provinces in Indonesia. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method through STATA software version 17. The results of the analysis revealed that the presence of health centers and vocational training institutions had a positive and significant impact on HDI. In contrast, the number of schools variable shows a negative relationship that is also significant to the index. This finding indicates that an increase in the quantity of schools does not guarantee an increase in HDI if it is not followed by an increase in the quality of education
