Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of poverty and unemployment in the Kedungsepur National Strategic Area (KSN) during the 2013–2023 period within the framework of regional economic resilience and development policy. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed using secondary data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) and the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) of Central Java, covering six administrative areas: Semarang City, Salatiga City, and the Regencies of Semarang, Demak, Kendal, and Grobogan. The analysis was conducted through socio-economic trend calculations and Pearson correlation tests among regional economic indicators, including Regional Own-Source Revenue (PAD), the Human Development Index (HDI), Regional Minimum Wage (UMR), poverty rate, and open unemployment rate (TPT). The results indicate that the average poverty rate decreased from 10.65% in 2013 to 8.20% in 2023, while the unemployment rate decreased from 6.01% to 4.93%. However, Semarang Regency experienced a slight increase in unemployment (from 3.9% to 4.05%), indicating a jobless growth phenomenon. The correlation between HDI and poverty shows a very strong negative correlation (r = –0.976), implying that improved human quality significantly contributes to poverty reduction. Conversely, the positive correlation between minimum wage and unemployment (r = 0.795) suggests that wage increases without productivity improvements may reduce employment absorption. The findings emphasize that economic growth in Kedungsepur remains non-inclusive, being concentrated in urban and capital-intensive sectors. Therefore, a resilience-oriented development and Local Economic Development (LED) approach is required to promote economic diversification, enhance workforce skills, and ensure equitable distribution of development benefits. The study contributes to the formulation of regional development policies that are equitable, resilient, and sustainable.

Abstract

Rural-urban migration and remittances play a central role in shaping socio-economic restructuring in agrarian villages facing structural constraints, including Banyusri Village. Migration has emerged as an adaptive livelihood strategy in response to land scarcity, declining agricultural productivity, and persistent rural-urban income disparities, while remittances function as a critical source of household and community support. Using a qualitative case study approach based on in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, this study examines migration patterns, forms and uses of remittances, and their impacts on socio-economic transformation in Banyusri. The findings show that migration is driven by structural rural pressures and reinforced by intergenerational migrant networks that facilitate, normalize, and perpetuate mobility over time. Remittances enhance household economic resilience by supporting consumption, education, healthcare, savings, and productive investment in high-value agricultural sectors. At the community level, migrant contributions strengthen religious, cultural, and social infrastructure, reinforcing collective participation and social cohesion. At the village level, remittances stimulate economic regeneration by generating employment opportunities, circulating capital, and expanding collective assets; however, they also produce emerging inequalities through differentiated consumption patterns, the rise of “successful migrant” social strata, and potential household dependency. Overall, the study demonstrates that remittances operate not only as financial transfers but also as transformative social resources that reshape household strategies, community relations, and broader rural development pathways. By analyzing how remittances are mobilized, utilized, and socially interpreted, this research contributes to wider debates on migration, rural livelihoods, and the dynamics of rural transformation in Indonesia.
