Abstract

Poverty remains an important development issue in Samosir Regency despite its tourism potential and economic improvement. This study aims to analyze the effect of tourist visits, average years of schooling, and minimum wage on poverty levels in Samosir Regency. This quantitative study uses an associative approach with secondary data from 2015–2024 obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics of Samosir Regency. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with classical assumption tests, t-test, and F-test. The results show that tourist visits and average years of schooling have a negative but insignificant effect on poverty, while minimum wage has a negative and significant effect. Simultaneously, the variables influence poverty levels. The findings imply that income improvement through wage policies plays an important role in poverty reduction.
