Abstract

Income disparity is a condition in which the income received by the community is not evenly distributed so that it will trigger other problems if not handled as soon as possible, such as poverty and social jealousy between communities that have the potential to create criminal acts. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that affect income disparity in ASEAN in 1994 - 2023. The data used in this study used secondary data with data collection techniques in the form of literature studies obtained from scientific articles, journals, publications from official websites such as World Bank Data, World Inequality Database, and United Nations Development Programme, as well as other credible sources relevant to the research. The results obtained are that poverty and education variables have a negative and significant effect on income disparity in ASEAN in 1994-2023. The unemployment variable has a positive but insignificant effect.
