Abstrack:
Economic development in Indonesia has created much kind of regional typologies. Klassen has divided this typology into four namely advanced and rapidly growing region, fast growing region, developed but depressed region and relatively backward region. There are some regional characteristic differences among those typologies. These differences have occurred in many sectors including human resources development sector which can be reflected by differences in the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). This research is aimed to determine the achievement of Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in those regional typologies. In this research, analysis of secondary data uses quantitative methods. Level of MDGs achievement is calculated by the analysis of percentage. Level of MDGs achievement in regional typologies which are used in this research is assessed by doing cross-tabulation between result of regional typology analysis and classification of MDGs achievement. The comparison of MDGs achievement among typologies was analyzed using One Way ANOVA. The results show that most of the provinces in Indonesia have an average percentage achievement of the MDGs under 100%. There are six provinces categorized as region which have a high level of MDGs achievement, 18 provinces have moderate levels of achievement and nine provinces with low levels of MDGs achievement. In the Klassen typology of Indonesia, level of achievement of the MDGs pattern sequence is not corresponding to the sequence pattern of regional economic development level. The order typology with the MDGs levels ranging from the highest to the lowest is developed but depressed region, relatively backward region, advanced and rapidly growing region, and fast growing region. Based on One Way ANOVA test result, there is no significant difference between MDGs achievement in the various typologies. Therefore the difference of regional economic development level in Indonesia did not create a significant difference in the achievement of the MDGs.
