Digital marketing has become a vital tool for business growth today, especially for housewives running small businesses. However, challenges such as a lack of technical knowledge and limited access to digital devices often hinder them from competing in the modern marketplace. In response to this phenomenon, the Community Service (PKM) initiative in Tamallayang Village, Bontonompo, was specifically designed to strengthen the capacity of housewives through education on the use of marketing technology to advance their businesses. This program employs a participatory training model that emphasizes two-way discussions and real-life case studies, allowing participants to understand and directly apply material such as digital marketing fundamentals, WhatsApp optimization, and content creation techniques. The success of this program is reflected in the substantial increase in competency and growing optimism of the participants in managing their businesses in the digital realm. The mothers now not only master the theory but are also able to execute the strategies they have learned to expand product exposure and boost sales figures. The benefits of this activity also have broad implications for strengthening the family economic structure and overall social welfare in the region. Going forward, the successful implementation of digital marketing strategies in Tamallayang Village is expected to become a prototype for empowering MSMEs in other areas, while also emphasizing that technological adaptation is a mandatory step in strengthening business competitiveness in the current era.

Regional economic development requires a comprehensive understanding of the structure, potential, and dynamics of economic sectors so that formulated policies can be targeted and sustainable. Bojonegoro Regency as one of the regions in East Java Province has unique economic characteristics with the dominance of certain sectors, so it is necessary to conduct an in-depth analysis of the economic sectors that play a role in driving regional growth. This study aims to identify basic and non-basic sectors, analyze the dynamics of changes in economic sectors, and assess the sectoral competitiveness of Bojonegoro Regency compared to East Java Province. This study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data in the form of Gross Regional Domestic Product at constant prices by business field obtained from the Central Statistics Agency. The analytical methods used include Location Quotient, Dynamic Location Quotient, and Shift Share. The results show that the mining and quarrying sector remains the sector with the most dominant relative advantage in the economic structure of Bojonegoro Regency. However, the analysis of dynamics and competitiveness indicates that several non-extractive sectors are starting to show faster development and growth potential. This finding suggests an opportunity for transformation of the regional economic structure towards a more diverse pattern. The implications of this research emphasize the importance of regional economic development strategies that do not only rely on traditional leading sectors, but also encourage the development of more sustainable potential sectors.

Income inequality and poverty continue to be major challenges in Indonesia's industrial areas, especially in DKI Jakarta, West Java, and Banten, although minimum wage policies continue to be developed as a form of protection for low-income workers. These policies theoretically serve as an instrument for income redistribution and improvement of labor welfare, but their effectiveness in reducing inequality and reducing poverty rates is still questionable, especially in areas with highly industrialized economic structures. This study aims to analyze the influence of income inequality, poverty rate, economic growth, and unemployment rate on the dynamics of the provincial minimum wage in the 2016–2023 period. The study used secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency and analyzed using panel data regression to obtain a comprehensive empirical picture of the factors determining the minimum wage. The test results show that the Fixed Effect Model is the most suitable model for capturing variations between provinces and between times. Key findings reveal that poverty levels and economic growth have a significant influence on changes in the minimum wage, while income inequality and unemployment rates have no significant influence. The conclusion of the study emphasizes that the minimum wage policy is not effective enough in reducing income inequality and reducing poverty without the expansion of the formal sector, improving the quality of the workforce, and distributing economic growth more evenly between industrial areas.

Poverty remains a central issue in regional development, particularly in areas with pronounced economic disparities such as South Sumatra Province. This study aims to examine the effect of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) on the poverty rate across regencies and cities in South Sumatra during the period 2020–2024. A quantitative research approach was employed using panel data regression analysis, supported by descriptive statistics and classical assumption tests. The empirical findings indicate that GRDP has a negative and statistically significant effect on poverty, suggesting that an increase in regional economic capacity contributes to reducing poverty levels. However, the relatively small coefficient signifies that economic growth has not been fully inclusive and is influenced by the structural characteristics of each region. The Fixed Effect Model was identified as the most appropriate specification, highlighting the existence of heterogeneity across districts that shapes the relationship between GRDP and poverty. These results underscore the need for development strategies that not only promote economic growth but also ensure an equitable distribution of its benefits through the reinforcement of labor-intensive sectors, enhancement of human capital, and strengthening of local economic structures. The study provides valuable insights for regional policymakers in designing more effective and sustainable poverty alleviation strategies.

This study aims to determine the partial and simultaneous influence between the variables of labor force, the agricultural sector, economic growth, and the industrial sector on the open unemployment rate in Aceh Province in the 2014–2023 period. The research method uses a quantitative approach by utilizing secondary data obtained from related agencies. The results showed that the labor force variable (X1) had a significant influence on the open unemployment rate with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. The agricultural sector variable (X2) was also proven to have a significant effect with a significance value of 0.002 < 0.05. Furthermore, economic growth (X3) has a significant influence on open unemployment with a significance value of 0.004 < 0.05. The industrial sector variable (X4) also showed a significant influence on the open unemployment rate in Aceh Province with a significance value of 0.015 < 0.05. Overall, these results indicate that employment dynamics and regional economic structure play an important role in determining the open unemployment rate during the study period. These findings provide a basis for policymakers to formulate more effective economic development strategies in reducing unemployment in the future.

This study examines two key development issues in developing : economic dualism and population issues, using a qualitative approach using library research. The analysis shows that economic dualism, characterizes by the gap between the low-productivity traditional sector and the high-tech modern sector, remains a key characteristic of Indonesia’s economic structure. On the other hand, high population growth and uncontrolled urbanization exacerbate inter-regional inequality and weaken the equitable distribution of development outcomes. The interconnectedness of these two issues creates a cycle of proverty that is difficult to break and hinders the achivement of sustaineble development. Therefore, an integrative and inclusive develpment strategy is neded, encompassing strengthenung the tradisional sector, equitable imvestment, improving the quality of human resources, and controlling population growth to ensure more balanced and equitable development.  

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a very important and strategic role in supporting the overall economic structure, with a contribution of 61.97% to the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). However, MSMEs, especially in rural areas, still face fundamental challenges, such as a lack of understanding and implementation of modern marketing and digital technologies. This service focuses on strategic efforts to empower Rengginang Ibu Saliem MSMEs in Dolok Kahean Village through a digital transformation program. The method used is descriptive qualitative Action Research, designed for direct program implementation and evaluation. The results of the pre-intervention showed that there was a severe digital gap in Rengginang products, although they had a tested taste, but still relied on traditional marketing models. Strategic intervention is carried out through two main pillars, namely, branding optimization by creating the trademark "Rengginang Huta" and a professional logo. Then the implementation of digital marketing through the construction of a virtual storefront on @rengginanghuta_ibusaliem's Instagram account. This program has succeeded in transforming these MSMEs into entities that are ready to compete in the digital ecosystem, in line with the statement that digitalization is the main imperative for MSMEs to survive. However, the evaluation stage identifies the issue of sustainability and digital independence as the next challenge. Long-term success requires more intensive post-program mentoring, focusing on digital operational management, to ensure independence and achieve real impact on improvement in Dolok Kahean Village.

The goal of the current study was to identify the motifs found in the pertinent empirical literature. Following a thorough review of the literature, the current study found that globalization has affected the employment rate, exacerbated gender disparities, and altered trade and employment in the labor market. Additionally, the study found that FDI has several significant impacts on sectorial employment, employment productivity, employment in the private sector, and employment creation. The study also showed that the mixed impacts of remittances on labor and employment vary across economies. In a similar vein, it has been demonstrated that trade openness influences employment shifts. Furthermore, the analysis highlights that technological advancement, often accelerated by globalization, contributes to labor market polarization by increasing the demand for high-skilled workers while reducing opportunities for low-skilled labor. The study emphasizes that while globalization offers opportunities for economic growth, it also poses challenges in achieving inclusive and equitable employment. Therefore, effective policy measures are required to balance trade liberalization, foreign investment inflows, and domestic labor protection. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how globalization shapes employment dynamics and economic structures, offering insights for policymakers aiming to promote sustainable labor market development.

Regional development strategies are one of the important steps to improve the economy and distribution of development in various regions. An industry approach that focuses on leading sectors has proven to be an efficient way to maximize the local potential found in each region. This research aims to discuss regional development strategies with emphasis on the use of leading sectors as the main driver of industrialization. This study uses a qualitative approach with the literature review method to explore various studies, reports, and related secondary data. It is known that selecting the appropriate leading sectors, supported by flexible policies and cooperation between the government, industry players, and the community, can increase economic value, create jobs, and strengthen regional competitiveness in a sustainable manner. With a focused and local potential-based approach, industrialization not only accelerates economic growth, but also strengthens the region's economic structure for the long term.

This research aims to identify leading sectors through the Location Quoetient (LQ) approach and Shift Share analysis. The LQ approach is used to determine the base sector based on structural advantages, while shift share measures the competitive advantage of the economic sector at the local level compared to the provincial level. The data used is the GRDP of Malang City and East Java Province for 2020-2022 at constant prices. The results of the analysis show that of the 17 sectors analyzed, only two sectors meet the criteria as leading sectors, namely the financial and insurance services sector and the education services sector. These two sectors not only have LQ values >1, but also show DK values >0, signaling superiority in economic structure and growth. This finding emphasizes the importance of strengthening the strategic services sector as a driver of sustainable economic development in Malang City.  

This study discusses the contribution of zakat in improving the economic welfare of society through the perspective of Islamic business management. The persistence of social and economic inequality across various segments of society underscores the importance of optimizing zakat management. In Islamic thought, zakat is not only a spiritual obligation but also a means of wealth redistribution that can strengthen the economic structure of the ummah. This research employs a library research method with a qualitative approach, analyzing various relevant sources to formulate efficient zakat management strategies that align with Sharia principles. The analysis reveals that the application of Islamic management principles—such as planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling—plays a crucial role in enhancing the effectiveness of zakat distribution, particularly in the form of productive zakat. Additionally, strengthening technological aspects, improving education for zakat managers (amil), collaborating with local institutions, and conducting intensive public outreach are complementary strategies relevant to the current context. The study concludes that professionally managed, integrated zakat administration based on Sharia values holds significant potential to serve as a sustainable driver for improving societal welfare.

In the framework of Islamic economics, which places a strong emphasis on social justice and ethics, fiscal policy is crucial in controlling a nation's economy. The necessity to comprehend how fiscal policy can be executed in line with sharia principles in order to attain public welfare serves as the backdrop for this study.  This study's goal is to investigate the connection between Islamic economics and fiscal policy and evaluate how it affects the general welfare. The approach is library research, which involves gathering and examining a variety of works pertaining to Islamic economics' fiscal policy. The findings demonstrate how fiscal policies rooted in Islamic principles, like zakat and charity, can promote equitable and inclusive economic growth. In the Islamic system, fiscal policy fosters social and spiritual peace in addition to financial welfare. To sum up, fiscal policies that adhere to sharia principles can establish a just, durable, and advantageous economic structure that benefits all societal levels. Therefore, in order to attain economic stability and overall welfare, it is crucial that the government execute fiscal policies that are consistent with Islamic beliefs.

The issue of fairness in regional development in Indonesia remains a significant challenge, particularly concerning the disparities between urban and rural areas, Java and outside Java, as well as between the western and eastern regions of Indonesia. This imbalance reflects an uneven distribution of investments influenced by the national political-economic structure. The sectoral development approach has been deemed inadequate in addressing these disparities, making the regional-based approach an alternative option to prioritize development in accordance with local potential. Several regional growth theories, such as the export base theory, resource advantage theory, and neoclassical approach, assert that a region's economic growth heavily depends on the availability of natural resources, labor, capital, and technological innovation. The primary indicator for assessing growth and economic well-being in society is Gross Domestic Product (GDP) The increase in GDP accompanied by a decrease in the unemployment rate serves as an indicator of successful development. Therefore, the strengthening of regional development needs to be accompanied by equitable investment strategies and approaches that are appropriate to local characteristics so that the growth achieved can be inclusive and fair.

Industrialization plays a critical role in the process of economic development, particularly in shaping a stronger and more competitive economic structure. For Indonesia, an industrialization strategy is not merely a tool for boosting economic growth, but a key instrument for promoting long-term structural transformation. This article discusses how industrialization strategies should be designed holistically, taking into account not only the manufacturing sector but also the interconnections with agriculture and services. Within the national development framework, the state must take an active role by implementing fiscal policies, providing infrastructure support, and offering incentives for value-added industries. Lessons from newly industrialized countries show that the success of industrialization is highly dependent on consistent policy coordination, strong leadership, and robust institutional capacity. Furthermore, industrial strategies must be responsive to global challenges such as technological change, international competition, and regional disparities. Therefore, industrial development planning in Indonesia should be oriented towards achieving economic efficiency, strengthening domestic production capabilities, generating broad employment opportunities, and ensuring equitable distribution of development benefits. This paper aims to provide a conceptual foundation for formulating a national industrialization strategy that is not only responsive to global trends but also capable of addressing domestic needs in an inclusive and sustainable manner.

Structural transformation is an important process in the economic development of a country. In Indonesia, the plan to move the National Capital City (IKN) from Jakarta to Nusantara in East Kalimantan is one of the strategic steps in accelerating structural transformationThe methodology used in this study is a qualitative and quantitative approach. The results of the study show that the acceleration of structural transformation through the development of IKN has a significant impact on the formation of a new economic base and increasing Indonesia's competitiveness. The formation of a new economic base in IKN can be seen from the emergence of technology and innovation-based industrial clusters. The impact on national competitiveness can be seen from the increase in productivity and innovation capacityThe analysis of the acceleration of structural transformation through the development of the IKN shows a fundamental change in Indonesia's economic base. The development of IKN as a smart forest city accelerates structural transformation through three main mechanisms. The impact on the formation of a new economic base can be seen from the shift in the economic structure in the IKN area and its surroundings. Structural transformation is also reflected in changes in the composition of the workforce and investment patterns. The impact analysis on Indonesia's competitiveness shows a significant increase in several dimensions

Regional economic development is closely related to changes and transformations of economic structures. There are four main aspects of economic development, namely growth, poverty alleviation, economic transformation, and sustainable development from an agrarian to industrial society. In Indonesia, economic development has encouraged growth and changes in economic structure, which are closely related. Structural transformation, namely the transition from the agricultural sector to the industrial or service sector, is a characteristic feature of developing countries. It involves changes in demand, trade, production, and other factors aimed at increasing per capita income and societal welfare. State-controlled industrialization policies have intellectual roots in the 19th century and have been the main strategy in many developing countries, including Indonesia since 1969. This strategy succeeded in shifting the economic focus from the agricultural sector to the industrial and service sectors, which also involved social transformation in addition to transformation. economy. Industrialization is defined as a significant socio-economic change, from a pre-industrial stage with low per capita income to a more advanced industrial stage.

In the history of the Indonesian economy. Indonesia often experiences changes in its economic structure. Starting from the beginning of independence, namely the era of the first President of Indonesia, namely Soekarno, until now the Jokowi era. These changes often occur because the economic structure has not boosted the Indonesian economy and is considered unable to improve the welfare of the people. The economic structure is used to shows the composition or arrangement of economic sectors in an economy. Economic structure is also the implementation of existing economic systems with the aim of increasing the welfare of a country through economic development and growth of national income. The economic structure can be seen from four viewpoints, namely macro-sectoral review, financial review, state administration review, and bureaucratic decision-making review. The macro sectoral review and financial review are purely economic reviews, while the state review and decision-making bureaucratic review are political reviews. Dominant or reliable economic sectors can also mean sectors that make the largest contribution to the national product with high growth rates, which are characteristic of an economy.
