The data analysis techniques used are simple regression analysis, hypothesis testing (t test and f test), coefficient of determination test and path analysis test. Based on the results of Fcount (163.572) > F table (3.25) it can be concluded that the hypothesis states that the variables Life Expectancy (X1), Health (X2) and Education (Z) have a joint (simultaneous) and significant effect on Poverty (Y) accepted.
