Weighted Logistic Regression (WLR) is a method used to overcome imbalanced data or rare events by using weighting and is part of the development of a simple logistic regression model. Parameter estimation of the WLR model uses Maximum Likelihood estimation. The maximum likelihood parameter estimator value is obtained using an optimization approach. The Genetic algorithm is an optimization computational algorithm that is used to optimize the estimation of model parameters. This study aims to estimate the Maximum Likelihood Weighted Logistic Regression with the applied genetic algorithm and determine the significant variables that affect the working status of individuals in Malang City. The data used is the result of data collection from the National Labor Force Survey of Malang City in 2020. The results of the analysis show that the variable education completed and the number of household members has a significant effect on individual work status in Malang City.
