Investments made by the government are significantly negative, most of which are centered on supporting welfare and developing the human index. There are new findings in the study, namely the different effects caused by government spending on reducing the unemployment ratio. In the west of Indonesia area, this does not show a significant impact whether tested between government spending on unemployment rates or economic growth in east or west of Indonesia. This means that government spending still needs to be converted into various work programs to absorb labor permanently.

The implementation of regional autonomy is in accordance with Law No.22 of 1999 concerning regional autonomy, as well as Law No. 32 of 2004 concerning local government. The government can regulate the course of the economy by determining the amount of government revenue and expenditure each year, which is reflected in the National Budget (APBN) for the national budget and the Regional Budget (APBD) for the region or region. This government expenditure is a form of fiscal policy.

Purpose Betting games have become a global industry worth billions of dollars providing employment to millions and contributing to the gross domestic product (GDP) of several countries. While there are debates and controversies surrounding betting games discourse, a growing body of literature shows that it has been exacerbated by growing unemployment rates. This paper aims to examine the nexus between the increasing involvement of youth in betting games and unemployment from the Nigerian perspective. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts simple random and stratified sampling techniques to select participants for the study. Three hypotheses were tested for this study and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation model (SEM) was used to test the hypotheses. Findings The three hypotheses tested in this study were coined from previous literature. The study established a direct link between technology advancement, promises of winning big coupled with bonuses while unemployment was not significant to youth involvement in betting games. The study also showed that playing betting games provides another source of income to the youth, who are already engaged in one form of work or another. Finally, youth involvement in betting games has created awareness regarding different sports in the world, while contributing to Nigeria’s economy. Practical implications As betting games centre as a business in Nigeria has contributed substantially and positively to unemployment in Nigeria; the Government of Nigeria are encouraged to streamline and regulate the activities of the sector such that they can contribute significantly to the country GDP and provide employment opportunities to the youths. Originality/value The research shows that the reason why betting games have a massive turnaround of youths in Nigeria is not majorly because of unemployment but as another means to a substantial financial individual/family income. Thus, Nigerian youths see betting games as an avenue to make more money. The study is the first of its kind to examine the nexus between betting games, technology and unemployment hence, its contribution to knowledge.

The phenomenon of poverty is a serious problem faced by almost every country in the world. This is because poverty can affect various aspects of people's lives. One of the causes of poverty is due to lack of income and assets to meet basic needs such as food, clothing, housing, health level and acceptable education. In addition, poverty occurs because of the powerlessness of society to get out of the problems it faces. The Central Java regional government incorporated poverty issues into the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD) because Central Java has a high number of poor people. This was done as an effort by the Central Java government to reduce poverty. Therefore, research is needed to find out the variables that most influence poverty in order to assist the government in developing the RPJMD. To find out what factors influence poverty in Central Java with the dichotomous categorical response variable, binary logistic regression analysis was used. The results showed that based on the analysis conducted did not obtain a logistic regression equation model because there were no significant parameters because there were no variables that had a sig value <0.05. Existing variables are Number of Population, Female Head of Household, Number of Children not in School, Number of Disabled Individuals, Number of Chronic Disease Individuals, Unemployment, Non-Electricity Lighting Sources, Unprotected Drinking Water Sources, Kerosene and Wood Cooking Fuels, Location Facilities Defecation (BAB) Not Available, so there are no variables that affect the level of poverty in Central Java Province.
