Abstract

Understanding the socio-economic factors influencing tobacco farm laborers’ income is essential for improving their financial stability and productivity. Many farm workers face economic uncertainty due to low education levels, limited experience, and fluctuating wages. Existing studies often overlook the combined impact of these factors, creating a research gap in labor income dynamics. This study aims to analyze how education, experience, age, and family size affect farm laborers' earnings. A quantitative descriptive method was employed, using surveys, interviews, and multiple linear regression analysis on respondents from Kagokan and Klaseman villages, Gatak District. The findings reveal that education and experience positively impact income, while age negatively influences earnings due to declining physical ability. Family size shows no significant effect. These results highlight the need for policy interventions such as vocational training, wage restructuring, and education access for farm laborers. Policymakers should implement sustainable programs to bridge economic disparities and enhance workforce efficiency. Future research should explore the role of agricultural technology adoption and gender-based income disparities, offering deeper insights into labor market dynamics.

Abstract

The human resource investment focused in this study is on education and training to improve the competence and skills of farm workers. Human resource investment, especially in green education and green skills, is very important to improve the productivity of tobacco farm workers. This study aims to identify problems related to human resource (HR) investment in tobacco farm workers and formulate change strategies to improve their productivity. This study uses a mixed method, namely qualitative, quantitative, and descriptive. The results of the study showed that the results of direct observation in the field found several problems, namely: 1) Farm workers are not experts in the application of environmentally friendly technology 2) Farm workers are unable to use biopesticides 3) Farm workers are unable to choose varieties of plants that are resistant to pests 4) There is no change in the behavior of farm workers in implementing green technology . Based on these findings, this study proposes a change strategy that includes: 1) Using DBHCHT to access training environmentally friendly technology 2) Using DBHCHT to participate in biopesticide training 3) Using DBHCHT to improve experience in using varieties 4) DBHCHT is used to improve self-motivation. The implementation of this strategy is expected to improve the competence, skills, and productivity of tobacco farm workers.
