Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors influencing Generation Z’s decision to work in either the formal or informal sectors in West Nusa Tenggara. A descriptive quantitative approach combined with binary logistic regression analysis was employed. The population consists of 968 Generation Z individuals aged 15–26 years who are currently employed and earning income. The study utilizes secondary data from the August 2023 National Labor Force Survey (SAKERNAS), obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of West Nusa Tenggara Province, covering respondents across ten districts and cities. The results indicate that income and age have a negative and statistically significant effect on the likelihood of working in the informal sector. Similarly, gender (female) shows a negative and significant influence. In contrast, residence has a positive and significant effect, indicating that individuals residing in rural areas are more likely to engage in informal employment. Meanwhile, the length of education and participation in pre-employment training programs exhibit no significant impact on employment sector choice.
