Meanwhile, there is a positive influence of unemployment rate on poverty level in the long-term. In this case, every 1% increase (decrease) the unemployment rate, the poverty rate rose (down) by 33.09%.Keywords: Fuel price, unemployement rate, poverty level, and ARDL model.JEL Calassifications: C220, E310, I32, J64.
