Abstract

Study aims to analyze the determinants of life expectancy (LE) by gender across 34 provinces in Indonesia during the 2014–2023 period. The variables examined include health complaints, health facilities, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita, education level, and poverty rate on male and female LE. The study employs panel data regression with a Fixed Effect Model approach. The results show that education and GRDP per capita have a positive and significant effect on both male and female LE. Health facilities have a significant effect only on male LE, while the poverty rate has a negative and significant effect on male LE but is not significant for females. Health complaints do not significantly affect LE for either gender. Simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence both male and female LE. These findings highlight the importance of economic development, education, and access to health facilities in improving life expectancy in Indonesia.
