Abstract
The research from 1991 to
2021 compares human development progress in Indonesia and Thailand while
analyzing factors influencing their Human Development Index (HDI). The study
uncovers significant disparities by employing independent difference tests and
Autoregressive Distributed Lag. Indonesia exhibits rapid economic growth yet
faces health and educational inequalities. Thailand boasts a higher average HDI
(0.70) than Indonesia's (0.63), signaling pronounced developmental gaps. ARDL
analysis identifies distinct factors shaping HDI in each nation. Long-term
impacts in Indonesia stem from increased life expectancy and education, while
Thailand benefits from GDP and investment. Short-term effects reveal
Indonesia's positive response to previous GDP changes, while Thailand
experiences initial negativity but long-term positivity. Policy recommendations
stress Indonesia's need to enhance investment, economic growth, health access,
and education quality to narrow the HDI gap. Equitable wealth distribution and
heightened investments in health and education are pivotal for achieving
inclusive and sustainable human development.
