ABSTRACT
In many cases, there is an irony when regional economic growth is high, but most of the population is poor due to the income disparity. The impacts of income disparities on social conflict are the main reasons for doing this research. The panel data regression analysis is used in this research. Therefore, the results show that an increase in income disparity will be followed by a rise in social conflict. Income disparities promote a lower middle group feels unfair and reflect their disappointment in a dysfunctional behavior that deviates from the rules. A group of people who mutually have dysfunctional behavior leads to social conflicts.
