Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between industry, small businesses, job creation, and welfare within an integrated analytical framework. This study uses a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis, with primary data obtained from questionnaires distributed to 80 respondents in the industrial area of Gresik Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The results of this study indicate that industry significantly influences welfare, both directly and indirectly through small business development and job creation. In this case, small businesses act as a key mediating variable influencing industry's impact on job opportunities and improved welfare. The novelty of this study lies in the development of an empirical model that simultaneously integrates the roles of industry, small business development, job creation, and welfare within a single analytical framework, using small business and job creation as mediating variables. This research contributes to the development economics literature, particularly on inclusive growth. It provides a policy perspective on the importance of effective integration between industry and small businesses as a strategy for improving public welfare.

Abstract

The phenomenon of youth Not in Employment, Education, or Training (NEET) poses a serious challenge to human resource development in Indonesia due to its long-term social and economic impacts. This study examines the NEET youth aged 16–30 by considering individual and environmental characteristics, including marital status, age, disability, education level, gender, region of residence, economic growth, and the interaction between marital status and age group. The study uses a quantitative approach, employing binary logistic regression, drawing on SAKERNAS 2023 data and economic growth data from 34 Indonesian provinces. The results show that all variables are significant at the 1 percent level (p < 0.01). Unmarried youth, younger individuals, people with disabilities, women, those with low education, and those residing in urban areas have a higher risk of being NEET. Education significantly reduces this risk. Economic growth has a limited, non-inclusive effect, and the interaction between marital status and age group reduces the probability of NEET status. This research contributes to the growing literature on regional development and planning through spatial disparities, particularly the urban-rural divide that contributes to the NEET phenomenon. The results demonstrate that place-based policies, such as strengthening the integration between education and the labor market, creating specific employment programs tailored to regional conditions, and implementing targeted interventions in rapidly growing urban areas like Malang City, are necessary to promote inclusive youth integration into the labor market.
