Abstract

This article aims to describe the characteristics of agriculture youth labor force and the determinants of their decision to work in this sector in Bima. This article uses a secondary data of the National Labor Force Survey held by Statistics of Bima Regency in 2022 by selecting youth as the research sample. The finding is that the characteristics of young people who work in the agricultural sector are dominated by those aged 25-30 years, male, married, have less than a high school education, are the head of the household, earn a wage or income above the District Minimum Wage, have less than 4 household members and do not participate in the Pre-Employment Card program. While the determinants of youth work in the agricultural sector show that gender, marital status, and education affect the decision of youth to work in the agricultural sector. The conclusion is that there are only three predictor variables that significantly effect on the decision of youth to work in the agricultural sector with an alpha of 5 percent. Meanwhile, the age, position in the household, wages, number of household members, and participation in the pre-employment card program variables have no significant impact in their decisions.
