Abstract

This research investigates the role of information technology and the creative economy in reducing unemployment rates in West Java Province, addressing challenges posed by global economic uncertainties. Employing a qualitative methodology, data was gathered through interviews with six staff members from local government departments, documentation, and literature reviews. The analysis, using the Miles and Huberman model, revealed that while information technology disseminates crucial information and fosters economic growth, it also contributes to job displacement. The creative economy emerges as a viable solution, requiring collaborative efforts among government, industry, and academia. The study suggests that policies must adapt to technological advancements, supporting workforce adaptation and leveraging the creative economy's potential. Continuous training and reskilling initiatives are essential for an inclusive and resilient labor market. Further research should explore specific strategies for aligning education with industry needs
