The research seeks to analyse the complex correlation between economic growth, human development index, and unemployment on income inequality in East Java from 2018 to 2022. This study addresses the issue of inequality in East Java both theoretically and empirically. The data is obtained from the Central Agency of Statistics and the Regional Development Planning Agency of East Java Province. Through specific considerations, this study utilized panel data from the six districts or cities with the highest and lowest income inequality. The data analysis employs panel data regression with the selected model, the Common Effect Model, to examine the influence among variables. Furthermore, in describing the results of the analysis, descriptive and quantitative methods are used. The analysis shows that the three exogenous variables collectively influence income inequality. Through the T-test, it was discovered that only the human development index variable shows a significant effect on income inequality. On the contrary, economic growth and unemployment variables show no significant effect. However, all three positively correlate with income inequality in East Java from 2018 to 2022.

This scoping review aims to synthesize existing research on the relationships between economic agglomeration, social-economic change, and their impacts on economic growth, with a focus on identifying key conflicts and policy issues. The study employs a comprehensive literature search using databases such as Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar, targeting peer-reviewed articles published in the last decade. The review process entails a meticulous examination and synthesis of selected sources, with the findings then organized into a coherent narrative review. The analysis yielded several key themes, including a positive correlation between economic agglomeration and growth, the development of specialized infrastructure and human capital, and the facilitation of knowledge spillovers. Nevertheless, the review also identifies potential adverse consequences, including the displacement of local communities, the intensification of income inequality, and the burden on public services. The study concludes by emphasizing the necessity of carefully designed policy interventions to ensure sustainable and inclusive economic growth, addressing the concerns of all stakeholders involved in the complex dynamics of economic agglomeration and social-economic change in a manner that is both equitable and effective.
