Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in reducing the unemployment rate in Langkat Regency. MSMEs have long been considered a sector that is able to absorb a large number of workers, especially in areas with minimal large-scale industrial investment. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method of 100 MSME actors in 10 sub-districts. The variables studied include the number of MSMEs, government support, access to capital, and unemployment rates. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, validity tests, reliability tests, and classical assumption tests. The results of the study indicate that the number of MSMEs has a significant and negative effect on the unemployment rate, meaning that an increase in the number of MSMEs can reduce unemployment in Langkat Regency. Meanwhile, the variables of government support and access to capital do not have a significant effect. These findings indicate the need for strengthening more targeted policies in supporting MSMEs, either through financing, training, or regulations that facilitate the growth of small businesses. Thus, MSMEs have proven to have great potential as a strategic solution in overcoming unemployment at the local level.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) and inflation rate on the purchasing power of the community in North Sumatra during the period 2012-2022. Data obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) of the Republic of Indonesia was analyzed using multiple linear regression with the EViews software. The results of the analysis show that GRDP and the inflation rate have a significant influence on the purchasing power of the community, with statistically significant regression coefficients. Autocorrelation, heteroskedasticity, and classical assumption tests indicate that the regression model used meets the criteria and can be considered valid. The implications of these findings can be used as a basis for formulating appropriate economic policies to improve the welfare of the North Sumatra community in the future
