<![CDATA[Economic growth does not automatically ensure an equal distribution of welfare benefits across population groups. This study examines the inclusiveness of economic growth in Cirebon Regency by analysing the relationships among economic structure, employment quality and productivity, human capital, and welfare distribution. The study uses a qualitative policy-analysis approach based on secondary statistical data, development planning documents, academic literature, and regulatory documents. The analytical process combines problem prioritisation using the Urgency, Seriousness, and Growth method, root-cause analysis, logic model analysis, and multi-criteria assessment of policy alternatives. The findings indicate that the main policy problem concerns differences in the distribution of economic growth benefits among population groups, with selected root causes consisting of concentration of value added in particular economic sectors, differences in employment quality and productivity, and differences in human capital quality. Three policy alternatives were assessed, with improving productivity and employment quality obtaining the highest synthesis score of 8.61. The study concludes that productive employment, competency development, labour-market alignment, and productivity improvement provide the most coherent policy pathway within the analytical framework used.]]>
