<![CDATA[Sumatra Island, also sometimes known as Percha Island, Andalas Island, or Swarnadwipa Island, is a large island surrounded by several smaller islands. Sumatra, along with its surrounding islands (hereinafter referred to as Sumatra), is inhabited by at least 57,940,351 people. Geographically, Sumatra lies between 6°N–6°S latitude and 95°E–109°E longitude, stretching from Kuta Raja in the north to Tanjung Cina in the south. Along its western part lies the Bukit Barisan mountain range, which runs from north to south. Administratively, Sumatra consists of 10 provinces: Aceh, North Sumatra, West Sumatra, Riau, Jambi, South Sumatra, Bengkulu, Lampung, Bangka Belitung Islands, and Riau Islands. These 10 provinces are further divided into 154 regencies/municipalities and 1,936 districts. Sumatra has succeeded in maintaining stable economic growth. In the context of the global economy, the term “new normal” has emerged, referring to a period in which economic growth is lower than the period before the 2008 global financial crisis. This term was popularized by Mohamed A. El-Erian, the head of PIMCO. According to Todaro (2000), economic growth is an important factor in driving job creation. Since the labor force is an integral part of an economic system, labor planning and economic development must therefore be supported by highly logical and scientific arguments.]]>
