This study aims to analyse the impact of the population growth rate and school participation rate on the open unemployment rate in Indonesia during the 2021–2023 period. The background of this research lies in the high open unemployment rate, influenced by various demographic and educational factors. The novelty of this study is its simultaneous analysis of the relationship between school participation and population growth with the open unemployment rate. The research uses multiple linear regression methods to analyse secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Education and Culture. The findings indicate that the school participation rate has a significant adverse effect on the open unemployment rate, where an increase in school participation reduces unemployment by improving individuals' skills. Conversely, the population growth rate has a significant positive effect, reflecting pressure on the labour market due to the imbalance between population growth and job availability. In conclusion, education plays a critical role in reducing unemployment, while population growth management needs to be optimised to alleviate pressure on the labour market. Enhancing the quality and accessibility of education, along with market-oriented training programs, are key strategies to address unemployment in Indonesia.
