Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of unemployment rate and workforce structure on economic growth in West Java during the period 2019-2024. The method used is path analysis with secondary data obtained from various official sources. The results of the analysis show that the relationship between unemployment rate (X1) and workforce structure (X2) on economic growth (Y) tends to be weak, with an R-squared value of 2.8%, indicating that the model is only able to explain 2.8% of the variation in economic growth. This study concludes that unemployment rate and workforce structure do not have a significant effect on economic growth in West Java during the study period. Other factors not included in the model are likely to contribute more to economic growth. This finding underscores the importance of considering additional variables and improving research methods in regional economic analysis.

Abstract

Implementing policies related to regional government affairs significantly impacts the administration and reporting processes within local governance structures. This study investigates the influence of such policies on the Regional Government Administration Report (LPPD) at the Governance Section of the Regional Secretariat of Indramayu District. By employing a mixed-methods approach, combining both quantitative and qualitative data collection techniques, the research aims to understand how policy implementation affects the effectiveness and accuracy of the LPPD. A comprehensive literature review was conducted to establish a theoretical framework, drawing on critical concepts in policy implementation and regional governance. The study's population includes officials and administrators within the Governance Section, with data collected through surveys and interviews. The findings reveal that effective policy implementation positively correlates with the quality of the LPPD, highlighting key factors such as resource allocation, training, and stakeholder engagement. However, challenges such as bureaucratic inertia and limited technical capacity were also identified as barriers to optimal implementation. The study concludes by providing practical recommendations for enhancing policy implementation processes and improving the LAPD's role in regional governance. Future research directions are suggested to explore further the dynamics between policy implementation and administrative reporting in other regional contexts.

Abstract

Makan Bergizi Gratis (MBG) is one of the government’s initiatives to improve school children’s nutrition and reduce stunting rates in Indonesia. However, its implementation in West Bandung Regency still faces various challenges. The occurrence of mass food poisoning among students after consuming MBG meals highlights weak food quality monitoring, limited resources, and suboptimal coordination between schools, food providers, and related agencies. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the MBG program in West Bandung Regency using a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings reveal that the MBG program has not been fully implemented in accordance with the expected standards. The main inhibiting factors include weak monitoring systems, lack of food safety education, and inadequate cross-sectoral collaboration. Therefore, strengthening monitoring mechanisms, enhancing implementers’ capacity, and encouraging community involvement are essential to ensure that the MBG program is safe, healthy, and sustainable.
