ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze government policies in reducing unemployment in Bone Bolango Regency, Gorontalo Province. Unemployment is a serious problem that threatens both the nation's economy and the welfare of the society. As a result, to solve this problem, there must be effective and safe methods. The research method used is a case study with a qualitative approach. Primary data was collected through in-depth interviews with various related parties, such as government officials, namely the Manpower Office, Cooperatives and MSMEs of Bone Bolango Regency, labor, and business owners. Secondary data are obtained from documents related to government policies and related literature. The results of this study show that the Bone Bolango Regency government has implemented several policies in an effort to reduce unemployment. This policy is implemented through the Independent Manpower Program (TKM), Appropriate Technology (TTG), Productive Business Group (KUP) and Labor Intensive. The policy includes job training programs, coaching and development of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), and investment promotion. Although these policies have been implemented, there are still some obstacles in alleviating unemployment in Bone Bolango District. These barriers include lack of workforce skills, lack of access to capital and financing for MSMEs, and limited employment in the formal sector. So it is concluded that the success of government policies in reducing unemployment in Bone Bolango Regency still needs to be evaluated continuously. Synergy between the government, the private sector, and the public is needed in overcoming unemployment. In addition, it is also necessary to increase access to education and training to improve the skills of the workforce and the opening of new jobs.
