For this reason, the state through the government formulates a strategy in the form of policies and work programs in the context of manpower planning at the macro and micro levels whose operational objectives are labor development. Manpower development is carried out through the utilization of every workforce in order to become a potential supporter of development. The principles in manpower development include the principle of integration between the center and the regions, between the macro and micro levels as well as between sectors.
