This article reports the results of a replication of Bobbitt-Zeher’s 2007 Sociology of Education article “The Gender Income Gap and the Role of Education” based on comparable data from Germany. Models that emulate the original specifications successfully replicate the results. However, models that instead adhere to Bobbitt-Zeher’s theory concerning the gendered effect of family formation call her key finding that “family formation has virtually no effect on the income gap” into question.

Based on the results of hypothesis testing it can be proven that the performance of regional financial management (independence ratio) has a positive and significant effect on economic growth, this can be seen from the value of sig. 0.046 <0.05 with a regression coefficient of 1.883. Then the performance of regional financial management has a negative and significant effect on unemployment, this can be seen from the value of sig. 0.030 <0.05 with a regression coefficient of -6.864. But the performance of regional financial management has no significant effect on poverty, this can be seen from the sig. 0.065> 0.05 with a regression coefficient of -0.512. This can be due to the still high income gap in the community, so that the increasing regional income has not been able to significantly reduce poverty in Depok.
