Peran Tenaga Kerja dalam Membangun Ekonomi Daerah di Nusa Tenggara Barat

This study discusses the role of labor in the development of Islamic economics in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) which faces significant challenges, such as the mismatch of skills with the needs of the labor market and the lack of education and training infrastructure. This study uses a literature study method to identify various forms of labor contributions in sectors such as agriculture, tourism, small industries, and the formal sector. The results of the study indicate that an activated and educated workforce has a significant impact on productivity, competitiveness, and sustainability of the regional economy. Labor in the tourism sector, for example, increases the number of tourists and regional income, while in the agricultural sector, modern technology strengthens production output. The conclusion of the study emphasizes the importance of developing education, vocational training, and synergy between the government and the private sector to maximize the potential of the workforce, strengthen economic competitiveness, and improve the welfare of the NTB community.
