Abstract

One of the supporting pillars of the economy is the agricultural sector. Various needs in supporting food security, provision of production materials, results of industrial market strategies and sources of human resources and provision of capital for other sectors are fulfilled by the agricultural sector. This research was conducted to examine the perceptions (interests) of the younger generation in the agricultural sector in Sekarpuro Village, Pakis District, Malang Regency. This study used stratified random sampling, namely sampling based on strata. The research data was collected through questionnaires and interviews. The data analysis method used is quantitative descriptive method in the form of multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Science) to analyze the effect of income, capital, family environment (parental point of view), age, education and work environment on perceptions (interest young generation towards agriculture). The research results obtained are that the interest of the young generation is strongly influenced by the parents' point of view, work environment and income. Based on the findings of a study on perceptions of youth interest in the profession of rice farming, a number of 99 young people, it is known that the interest of the younger generation in agriculture strongly agrees 4% disagrees 52.5% normal 38.4% agrees 5.1. The value of 100% is the cumulative value of the sum of 4% + 52.5 % + 38.4 %+5.1% = 100%. Meanwhile, age, capital, education did not influence the perception (interest) of the younger generation in the agricultural sector.

Review

This study tackles a highly relevant issue: the diminishing interest of youth in the agricultural sector, particularly within the Sekarpuro Village in Malang Regency, Indonesia. The abstract clearly articulates the agricultural sector's critical role as an economic pillar, providing a strong rationale for the research. The methodology appears robust, employing stratified random sampling to select respondents and utilizing both questionnaires and interviews for data collection. The intention to use multiple linear regression analysis with SPSS to identify key influencing factors such as income, capital, family environment, age, education, and work environment demonstrates a commitment to quantitative rigor in understanding complex social phenomena. Despite the strong foundational premise and methodological intent, several aspects of the abstract could benefit from clarification and refinement. The description of the data analysis method as "quantitative descriptive method in the form of multiple linear regression analysis" is somewhat contradictory, as multiple linear regression is inferential rather than purely descriptive. Furthermore, while stratified random sampling is mentioned, the specific strata used for sampling are not detailed, which would enhance transparency and reproducibility. The presentation of the research results regarding youth interest, particularly the "normal" category (38.4%), lacks explicit definition, making its interpretation less straightforward. The finding that "disagrees" represents the largest group (52.5%) is significant but could be framed more emphatically to convey the scale of disinterest. Lastly, the abstract introduces "the profession of rice farming" late in the results section, which narrows the scope from the initial broad "agricultural sector" without prior explanation. In conclusion, this research addresses a vital topic with significant implications for food security and rural development. The identified key influencing factors (parents' point of view, work environment, and income) offer valuable insights for intervention strategies. To strengthen a full manuscript, it would be beneficial to clarify the methodological nuances, particularly the specific strata used in sampling and the precise classification of the statistical analysis. A more detailed discussion of the findings, including a clearer interpretation of the different levels of interest and a consistent definition of the agricultural scope (general vs. rice farming), would also enhance the paper's impact. Ultimately, elaborating on the practical implications and concrete recommendations for policymakers and local communities to foster youth engagement in agriculture would greatly enrich the contribution of this study.
