The number of young people who want to work in the agricultural sector is decreasing compared to the non-agricultural sector. A farmer who has a young age usually has high enthusiasm for trying new things in determining suitable commodities. The education level of those working in the agricultural sector is low, with the majority having or not completing primary school. The level of education is very important to absorb new information and technology. Income is one of the factors for someone to determine a job because it is to meet the needs of daily life. Income in the agricultural sector depends on crop yields and fluctuations in market prices. The social environment plays an important role in the mindset of the younger generation in determining a worker. This study aims to determine the relationship between age, education, income, and social environment with the work motivation of young people in the agricultural sector. The approach used is descriptive quantitative with a purposive sampling method. The analytical method used is correlation analysis using Spearman rank. The younger generation studied were aged 20-44 years. The research location is in Jumo Village, Kedungjati District, Grobogan Regency, Central Java. Respondents consist of 50 young people who work in the agricultural sector using open land. The results showed that there is a significant and positive link between variables of age, education, income, and social environment with the younger generation's motivation to work in agriculture.
