Abstract. Population development policies related to national and regional development need to
be strengthened both conceptually and practically. At the policy level, population development
must be able to integrate national and regional population issues to create the concept of
population-oriented development. The purpose of this study is to describe population
development policies in Boalemo Regency related to policy implementation; policy concept; and
the situation and conditions of population development. The method used is Observation;
Documentation; and FGD, with the support of secondary data analysis and document review. The
results of the study indicate that generally the implementation of population development policies
in the Boalemo district has been carried out optimally, but still needs to be improved, especially in:
Population Quantity Development Policy; Population Quality; Family planning; Mobility; and
Population data and information. The implementation of Population-oriented Development
Policies and Sustainable Population Development need to be given top priority. For this reason, a
very important factor to improve is the Human Development Index (IPM).
Keywords: policy; implementation; population development.

INTRODUCTION
Population development policies in the
context of national and regional
development need to be strengthened,
both in concept and implementation. At
the policy level, population development
must be able to integrate national and
regional population issues so as to give
birth to the concept of population-oriented
development (Stokes & Seto, 2019). The
synergy of population-oriented policies
with the quality of human resources
requires the quality of the population as a
systemic vehicle in producing people who
have life skills, personal skills that include
self-awareness and thinking skills, as well as
social skills, academic skills, and vocational
skills (Murni et al., 2022). The main problem
is the high population growth and the
unbalanced distribution and age structure
(O’Sullivan, 2018).
At the implementation level, the
population development policy is expected
to be able to raise the standard of living of
the population so that they become more
advanced, independent, happy, and
prosperous (Muhamad Khair et al., 2020);
(Leal Filho et al., 2019). Where Population
Development must really be able to take
advantage of demographic bonus
opportunities to trigger economic growth
and improve people's welfare (Wandita et
al., 2022);
