Resumen

This study aims to analyze the influence of the population, education level, and minimum wage on the open unemployment rate in West Java Province. The research uses a quantitative method with secondary time series data from 2009–2023 obtained from BPS West Java. The analysis was carried out by multiple linear regression as well as classical assumption tests. The results of the study show that the number of population has a significant negative effect, education level has a significant positive effect, and the minimum wage does not have a significant effect on the open unemployment rate. These findings show that improving the quality of education and expanding employment are more important than wage policies in overcoming unemployment in West Java.
