It is unfortunate if the number of young age people who are not absorbed in employment will eventually become unemployed. Unemployment at a young age will have an impact on the amount of unemployment. This study will analyze the demographic factors and human capital that underlie youth unemployment in Sragen in 2021.

The method used is binary logistic regression analysis. The results showed that the variables of age, gender, the status of a household, marital status, training, middle school education, and high school education affect the tendency of the young workforce to become unemployed.
