Simultaneously there is the influence of social assistance, subsidies, and the population on poverty with a probability value of 0.000 <0.05. The magnitude of the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable is shown by the adjusted r-square value of 89.9% and the remaining 10.1% is explained by other factors.
