Abstract

One of Indonesia's national development plans is held in order to realize efforts to improve people's welfare. People's businesses that have the largest contribution as an important pillar in economic growth in Indonesia are Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This sector business has a role in supporting the economy and is able to survive in any situation, as evidenced by the 1998 monetary crisis. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of MSME growth on the decline in the open unemployment rate in West Java. The method used is explanatory research with data analysis techniques using panel data regression analysis. The data used is panel data of 7 cities in West Java Province in the period 2012 to 2019. The results obtained are that there is a significant negative effect between the growth of MSMEs on the open unemployment rate in West Java Province. The results obtained are expected to be used in an effort to reduce the unemployment rate in West Java Province by conducting training so that the quality of human resources for MSME actors in West Java Province increases.
