Abstract

Currently, Indonesia's oil palm plantation sector is in a critical phase. While the sector has contributed significantly to national income and created jobs, it is increasingly urged to address a number of social and environmental issues. This study aims to explain the complex relationship between oil palm plantation expansion, per capita income, and unemployment dynamics in the region. Using quantitative methodology and multiple linear regression analysis, this study examines secondary data sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and the Ministry of Agriculture covering the period 2001-2022. The findings show that the expansion of oil palm plantations significantly increases per capita income through direct and indirect job creation. However, its impact on unemployment is not uniform and depends on the prevailing economic structure and adaptability of the local labor market. While some regions experienced a decline in unemployment due to increased job availability, other regions experienced an increase in structural unemployment caused by the adoption of modern technology that reduced the need for manual labor. These findings underscore the need for regional policies tailored to the local economic context, labor market, and local employment conditions

Abstract

Oil palm plantations have become a strategic sector in the Indonesian economy, especially in the Kalimantan region. Although its contribution to economic growth is undeniable, its impact on poverty alleviation is still debatable. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between oil palm plantation area and production on economic growth and poverty levels in Kalimantan. The research methodology uses multiple linear regression analysis with secondary data obtained from official statistical reports during the period 2021 to 2022. The independent variables in this study are land area and oil palm production, while the dependent variables include economic growth rates and poverty rates. The results of the study show that the area of oil palm plantations has a significant positive effect on economic growth in Kalimantan, while oil palm production does not show a significant relationship with the decline in poverty rates. This finding indicates that economic growth resulting from the expansion of plantation land does not directly improve the socio-economic conditions of local communities. The implications of this study highlight the importance of more inclusive development policies, with a focus on a more equitable distribution of economic benefits and investment in social infrastructure such as education and health. This is necessary to ensure that the economic benefits of the palm oil sector can be felt by all levels of society, thus supporting sustainable development in Kalimantan.
