  Poverty is one of the most important obstacles to economic development and thecause of many economic problems in all countries. Therefore, recognizing the mainfactors affecting poverty is very important for the policymakers in the field of righteconomic policy. Therefore, this study examines the effect of inflation andunemployment along with the two variables of government healthcare expendituresin GDP and population growth on the Gini coefficient, as an indicator of poverty inthe provinces of Iran, during the period 2006-2018 using spatial econometricapproach to investigate the provincial spillover effects. The results showed thatinefficient healthcare expenditures, which along with population growth are themost important factors influencing the deterioration of income distribution withoutincreasing human capital and unemployment rate, has been increasing due to theyoung population of Iran and its increase in the labor market in different years andinflation, which has risen sharply in recent years due to rising sanctions, has madepeople poorer. These are factors that have worsened income distribution andincreased poverty in the provinces of Iran. Also, the spatial proximity between theprovinces worsens the income distribution. Therefore, policies to reduce poverty,improve welfare and improve income distribution in all provinces need to beadopted in a balanced way in order to improve income distribution. Manuscript profile
