Abstract

This study aims to analyze qualitative factors that influence Indonesia's economic growth, including the quality of human resources, innovation, government policies, the manufacturing sector, and community empowerment. This study employs a qualitative approach with data collection through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The data collected were analyzed using thematic coding techniques to identify relevant patterns and themes. The findings indicate that high quality human resources, innovation, and supportive government policies play a crucial role in economic growth. Improving workforce competency through training contributes to productivity and economic growth. The manufacturing sector provides significant value added, absorbs labor, and encourages innovation. Community empowerment in business development, such as tourism and agrotourism, has a positive impact on local income and welfare. This study emphasizes the need for collaboration between the government, private sector, and communities to achieve more inclusive and sustainable economic growth.
