Abstract

Unemployment is one of the main challenges faced by Indonesia in facing the Society 5.0 era which is characterized by digitalization and advanced technology. To overcome this problem, digitalization of the home industry has been identified as one of the promising solutions. This article aims to examine the very important role of education in the process of digitalizing the home industry as a solution to unemployment using a qualitative case study approach. The research method used is a case study approach and literature analysis. This research aims to understand the relationship between education which acts as a link between traditional skills and increasingly digital market needs. The collected data was analyzed using a qualitative analysis approach to identify patterns, themes and relationships between education, digitalization adoption and unemployment reduction. The findings of this research show that the role of education in digitalizing the home industry has a positive impact in reducing the unemployment rate. Adoption of digital technology increases production efficiency, product quality and access to wider markets. Case studies show that home industries that adopt digitalization have succeeded in creating new job opportunities and reducing the unemployment rate in the surrounding environment. However, there are challenges that must be overcome in implementing home industry digitalization, such as limited access to technology, lack of digital knowledge, and infrastructure problems. Therefore, collaboration between government, the private sector, and educational institutions is needed to create supportive policies, digital skills training, and adequate financing. Based on these findings, the author recommends increasing efforts in creating policies that support the adoption of home industry digitalization, strengthening digital training and education programs, as well as increasing collaboration between industry players and related stakeholders. It is hoped that the widespread implementation of home industry digitalization can make a significant contribution to overcoming unemployment and encouraging economic growth in Indonesia.
