Abstract

Youth are agents of change or individuals who have more energy, enthusiasm and potential to carry out many activities. Therefore, young people often have the initiative to do something to improve their environment or are involved in an activity/project, including being involved in an activity in the village government through a forum called Karang Taruna. This is like what exists in Margosari Village, Kendal. To make an activity/project a success, it is necessary to start with a design or concept that can provide an explanation to all parties involved. The design or concept in formal form is called a proposal. This research aims to determine the impact of activity proposal writing training on young people in Margosari Village who are not yet skilled at compiling or writing activity proposals. The method used in this research is descriptive analytical with data collection techniques in the form of questionnaires. The results of the research stated that initially there were still many participants who were unable to write proposals, namely 14 people and 4 people who could not. Meanwhile, there were 15 participants who lacked knowledge about proposals with indications of not knowing or not knowing about the types of proposals. After the training, it was shown that all participants expressed their understanding of writing proposals. This was reinforced by the statements of 13 participants who admitted that they could write a proposal if their understanding was later applied in making the proposal, while 6 people stated that they were not sure. Meanwhile, from the open questionnaire, 16 people stated that there were no shortcomings at all and that the training was very useful.

Abstract

Employment issues remain a significant challenge under the current government. The lack of job opportunities forces people to take any available work to meet their daily needs, aligning with Scott's subsistence theory, which describes survival efforts to fulfill life necessities. Consequently, many turn to the informal sector as a survival strategy due to the lack of alternatives. This phenomenon is evident in Sindangjawa Village, where agricultural labor is highly demanded. Despite insufficient wages for agricultural workers, they do not shift to other sectors. This study aims to identify the factors influencing Sindangjawa Village residents to work as farm laborers and to examine the wages provided. Using descriptive qualitative research methods, data were collected through interviews and documentation. The study provides an overview of the conditions and symptoms observed in the field. The findings reveal that the primary factors driving Sindangjawa Village residents to choose agricultural labor are low education levels and inadequate transportation. The average education level in the village is junior high school (SMP), making it difficult for residents to compete for other jobs. Additionally, limited public transportation hinders access to urban areas. The seasonal nature of agricultural work is a significant challenge, as farm workers only earn during the planting and harvest seasons. In between these periods, finding work becomes difficult, making it hard for agricultural workers to meet their daily needs
