This study using quantitative method with univariate and correlation analyses. The unit of analysis in this study is all 34 provinces in Indonesia. The variables analyzed were the number of malnutrition prevalence, the number of poor people, and the level of education. There’s wide variability of the number of poor people. The greater the number of poor people, the greater the number of malnutrition events in toddlers. The number of poor people is positively related to the number of malnutrition events in toddlers, be it stunting, wasting, or underweight. Meanwhile, the level of education has no relationship with the prevalence of malnutrition toddlers. The results of this study are considered important as a policy basis to improve the poverty rate and strive for better economic development in Indonesia.
