ABSTRACT

The development of many large cities in Indonesia can spur economic growth. Consequently, these cities become magnets for people to come and live in search of work. This is called urbanization. This urbanization creates various problems due to the lack of control. The problem facing Indonesia is high population growth. Worse still, this growth is not accompanied by a pace commensurate with the development of industrialization. This problem ultimately gives rise to the phenomenon of over-urbanization. This study uses secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of GRDP and employment opportunities on urbanization in Indonesia. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was used with the help of Eviews 9. This study focuses on quantitative analysis. Data in this study were taken from 2019. The results show that employment opportunities have a significant positive effect on urbanization in Indonesia, but GRDP has a negative and insignificant effect on urbanization in Indonesia in 2019.
