Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of village development on sustainable employment in West Seram District, focusing on strategies implemented to improve the local economy and reduce community dependence on seasonal sectors. A qualitative approach with a case study method was used in this research, involving in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, such as village heads, local business actors, and village communities. In addition, secondary data from government reports and academic literature were used to enrich the analysis. The results show that village development integrated with entrepreneurial skills development and local resource management can create more stable and sustainable employment. However, this study also found several constraints, particularly limited infrastructure and access to technology. These limitations pose a major challenge in achieving sustainable employment in rural areas. The implications of these findings suggest the importance of policies that support community capacity building and sustainable infrastructure investment to facilitate economic growth in villages. This research provides insights for policymakers and village development practitioners in designing more effective strategies for sustainable employment in rural areas.

Abstract

Investment is a financial strategy chosen by individuals to preserve and grow wealth. In recent years, investment activity in Indonesia has increased amid a downward trend in inflation. This reflects a shift in financial behaviour, where inflation is no longer seen solely as a threat but also as a driver for moving from saving to investing. As people become aware of inflation’s impact on purchasing power, they increasingly allocate funds to more profitable investment instruments. This study uses a behavioural finance approach and macroeconomic data from 2019 to 2024 to illustrate the pattern. The analysis shows that declining inflation, along with rising financial literacy, has significantly contributed to investment growth.
