Abstract

Background and Objective: One of the issues that currently affects employment is good regional governance and foreign direct investment in countries with abundant natural resources. The effect of natural resource abundance on economic growth has been widely studied in economic studies, but a study that examines the effect of good regional governance, natural resource abundance, and foreign direct investment on employment has not been conducted. The aim of this article is to examine the effect of foreign direct investment, good regional governance, and natural resources on employment in the agricultural sector for 15 selected developing countries.
Methodology: In this regard, a regression model has been estimated using panel data for the selected countries in the period 2011-2023.
Findings and Conclusion: According to the results obtained, foreign direct investment has a positive and significant effect on employment in the agricultural sector. Good regional governance has a positive and significant effect on employment in the agricultural sector. Also, the abundance of natural resources has a negative and significant effect on employment in the agricultural sector. Good regional governance and the attraction of foreign investment have a positive impact on employment, which increases employment in the agricultural sector by improving the political climate, protecting property rights, and enforcing contracts
