KEBIJAKAN PEMERINTAH DAERAH DALAM MENGATASI ANGKA PENGANGGURAN DI KABUPATEN LAMPUNG SELATAN (Studi Di Dinas Tenaga Kerja dan Tranmigarasi Kabupaten Lampung Selatan)

Abstrak

This study aims to evaluate local government employment policies in addressing unemployment in South Lampung Regency and to formulate strategic policy directions and innovative employment programs that are more effective, integrated, and sustainable. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach, with the study conducted at the Manpower and Transmigration Office of South Lampung Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using William N. Dunn’s public policy evaluation framework, encompassing effectiveness, efficiency, adequacy, equity, responsiveness, and policy accuracy. The findings reveal that local employment policies have contributed to reducing unemployment through job training programs, job placement services, and partnerships with the private sector. However, their overall impact remains limited due to insufficient intervention scale, weak cross-sectoral integration, and the absence of a data-driven regional labor planning document. Therefore, strengthening labor planning based on labor market needs, improving workforce quality, digitalizing employment services, and enhancing cross-sectoral collaboration are essential policy agendas to achieve sustainable unemployment reduction in South Lampung Regency.
