Unemployment Concentration and Its Determinants In Java island Provinces In 2008-2022

Abstract

The study aims to analyze the unemployment concentration in the provinces of Java from 2008 to 2022, as well as the influence of population growth, provincial minimum wages, economic growth, and industrial volume on the unemployed concentration of the province of Java between 2008 and 2022. The data used in this study are secondary data published by the Central Statistical Agency. The study uses cross sections of six provinces with time series of 2008-2022. The method used in this study is a concentration index to calculate unemployment concentration and panel data regression to determine the influence of independent variables on dependent variables. The results of this study show that the provinces of DKI Jakarta, West Java, and Banten have a greater than national role in unemployment issues and become the unemployed base provinces in Java Island. Panel data regression results show that population growth variables have a positive and significant influence on the population concentration, provincial minimum wage variables and economic growth have a negative and significant impact on the unemployee concentration.
