Multiple peer-reviewed studies and economic references establish that job creation and labor utilization contribute directly to economic expansion, industrial output, and value creation.
MSME's are the foundation of many economies, making substantial contributions to industrial output, job creation, and economic expansion. However, because of their limited infrastructure, resources, and access to cutting-edge technologies, MSME's frequently struggle to manage supply chain and logistics operations. This research focuses on developing an innovative mathematical model that enhances MSME’s competitiveness by optimizing supply chain and logistics operations using industrial engineering principles. The proposed model adopts a multi-objective optimization framework, addressing critical aspects of supply chain efficiency, including cost minimization, service level enhancement, and resource utilization. By integrating supplier, facility, customer, transportation, and inventory data, the model provides actionable insights for MSME’s to streamline operations, reduce costs, and improve service delivery. This research focuses on developing a mathematical model to optimize supply chain and logistics operations for MSME’s, addressing challenges related to limited resources and infrastructure. The model employs a multi-objective optimization framework, aiming to minimize costs, enhance service levels, and improve resource utilization. It integrates data on suppliers, facilities, customers, transportation, and inventory, providing actionable insights for MSME’s to streamline operations and reduce costs. A hypothetical dataset, representing suppliers, facilities, and customers across different locations with varying demands, is used to demonstrate the model's applicability. Decision variables in the model represent transportation flows, facility operations, and inventory levels, while constraints ensure demand fulfilment and operational feasibility. The objectives of the model include minimizing procurement, transportation, and inventory holding costs, while maximizing service levels and resource utilization. The optimization process considers factors like transportation lead times, operational costs, and stockout penalties, making it highly relevant to MSME’s contexts. A realistic dataset simulates MSME’s supply chain scenarios, including supplier capacities, facility costs, customer demands, and transportation dynamics, reflecting logistical challenges in India. Transportation data captures cost-per-unit distance, lead times, and distances between nodes, while resource data provides insights into labor availability and equipment utilization. Preliminary results show that the model significantly reduces supply chain costs while maintaining high service levels and improving resource efficiency. It identifies optimal transportation routes, balances inventory levels at facilities, and suggests ways to enhance labor and equipment utilization. Overall, the model contributes to operational efficiency and competitiveness for MSME’s by optimizing logistics and supply chain operations.
This study aims to analyze the influence of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), Average Years of Schooling (AYS), Provincial Minimum Wage (PMW), and realized foreign investment on the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR). The background of this research is based on the urgency of understanding labor market dynamics as a strategic indicator of economic development, particularly following the COVID-19 pandemic. A quantitative approach is utilized in this study, applying panel data regression across 34 provinces in Indonesia during the period 2020–2023. The analysis results indicate that GRDP, AYS, PMW, and foreign investment have a positive and significant influence on LFPR. An increase in the average years of schooling reflects an improvement in human resource quality, which encourages labor force participation. The rise in the Provincial Minimum Wage plays a role in strengthening incentives to enter the formal labor market. GRDP growth demonstrates an economic expansion effect that broadens job opportunities, while foreign investment serves as a catalyst in the creation of new employment opportunities.These findings offer important implications for the formulation of strategic policies in the fields of employment, education, and investment, specifically in strengthening the involvement of the productive workforce in Indonesia's development and output creation.
Abstract New technology embodied in capital equipment can be adopted either through destruction of existing jobs and the creation of new ones or by renovation, updating the job's equipment. Under the assumption that the destruction of jobs generates worker layoffs, we show that higher productivity growth induces lower unemployment when renovation costs are low, but that the response of employment to growth switches from positive to negative as the cost of updating existing technology rises above a unique critical level. The effects of idiosyncratic productivity differences and cross sector mobility on the aggregate relationship between growth and unemployment are also studied.

Tourism, as a pivotal engine of global economic growth, plays a transformative role in not only value creation but also the advancement of employment and entrepreneurial ecosystems. This study employs a comprehensive analytical framework that combines advanced econometric modeling with qualitative inquiry to examine the impact of tourism development on job creation and entrepreneurial activity in Bamyan province, Afghanistan. Anchored in the theories of sustainable development and regional entrepreneurship, the research utilizes linear regression analysis, Pearson correlation, and thematic analysis to derive robust empirical insights. The findings reveal a statistically significant and positive association between tourism development and improvements in employment and entrepreneurship indices. Key enabling factors—including infrastructure development, service quality enhancement, and institutional support—are identified as critical to amplifying the sector’s economic multiplier effects. Empirical evidence indicates that tourism-induced growth fosters long-term employment stability, reduces regional unemployment, and enhances economic resilience among local communities. Furthermore, tourism serves as a catalyst for entrepreneurial innovation, particularly in sectors such as eco-tourism, handicrafts, and hospitality services. Nonetheless, persistent structural deficiencies, financial limitations, and the absence of coherent policy frameworks significantly constrain the region’s
The Egyptian broiler sector constitutes a central component of national food security, yet the socio-economic consequences of its various expansion strategies remain inadequately quantified. This study investigates the differential impacts of vertical and horizontal expansion on employment generation, investment returns, and wage outcomes within the sector. Utilizing time-series data spanning 2000 to 2024, the analysis applies growth rate calculations alongside independent samples t-tests to assess the effectiveness of these expansion approaches. The results demonstrate that both vertical and horizontal expansion significantly enhance productive capacity and stimulate job creation. Horizontal expansion, on average, generates approximately 0.46 thousand additional jobs per year, accompanied by potential investment returns of EGP 5.93 million. In contrast, vertical expansion contributes around 0.34 thousand jobs annually, with associated investment returns of EGP 4.36 million. Despite these positive outcomes in productivity and employment, the analysis reveals that neither expansion model produces a statistically significant increase in aggregate wage levels. This finding showed a notable decoupling between sectoral productivity gains and labor compensation, suggesting that employment growth does not necessarily translate into improved worker earnings. These insights provide critical quantitative evidence for policymakers and sector stakeholders, emphasizing the importance of a
Nature-based solutions (NbS) involve working with nature to address societal challenges in ways that benefit communities and biodiversity locally. However, their role supporting economic recovery from crises, such as those arising from conflicts or pandemics remains underexplored. To address this knowledge gap, we conducted a systematic review of 66 reviews on the economic impact of nature-based interventions. Most demonstrated positive outcomes for income and employment, though those with critical appraisal of underlying studies reported more mixed outcomes. These varied results were influenc
