THE EFFECT OF EDUCATION ON THE OPEN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IN INDONESIA

Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) This indicator has an important role in evaluating the success of human resource quality development. The purpose of this study is to understand how the average affected schools (RLS), old hope schools (HLS), and the number of schools above the state (JS) compare to Indonesia's open poverty rate (TPT) in 2023. This study uses a quantitative approach using a multiple regression model. Based on cross-section secondary data from 34 provinces. The findings of the study show that from the value of the determination coefficient (R-squared), it can be concluded that the education variables together have a significant influence on TPT, 0.534. Individually, the RLS and JS variables had a significant positive influence on TPT, while the HLS variable showed a significant negative influence. All of this suggests that improving access to education without improving the quality and relevance of the curriculum can magnify skills mismatches, so that they do not automatically lower the unemployment rate. Therefore, education policies need to be directed at improving the quality and linkage between education and the needs of the job market to reduce the unemployment rate in a sustainable manner.
