The mining industry has made an important contribution in the development of disadvantaged areas to become new growth centers in line with the opening of mining in the area. Kabaena Island is one of the regions in Bombana Regency which has a large enough mining sector potential, especially nickel. Despite having a large nickel potential, the island is still classified as a disadvantaged area with a low level of welfare. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the presence of nickel mining on employment of local people and its effect on improving the welfare of the community, especially those working for nickel mining companies.
