Abstract

Employment vulnerability has emerged as a critical issue affecting workers’ financial well-being, particularly in developing economies such as Indonesia, where informal and precarious employment remains widespread. This study aims to systematically review and synthesize existing empirical evidence on the relationship between employment vulnerability and financial well-being among workers in Indonesia. Adopting a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, relevant peer-reviewed journal articles were identified, screened, and analyzed thematically. The review focuses on key dimensions of employment vulnerability, including job insecurity, income instability, lack of social protection, and exposure to economic shocks, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings reveal that employment vulnerability consistently undermines workers’ financial well-being through increased financial stress, reduced savings capacity, and heightened psychological distress. Moreover, financial literacy and access to financial services emerge as important mitigating factors that can enhance financial resilience among vulnerable workers. The review also highlights significant disparities between formal and informal workers, as well as gaps in policy protection for marginalized groups. This study contributes to the literature by integrating insights from labor economics and financial well-being research, offering policy-relevant implications for improving employment security, financial capability, and social protection systems in Indonesia.

Abstract

Climate change has shifted from an environmental concern into a material financial risk capable of disrupting financial-system stability through both physical and transition-risk channels. Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation with high hydrometeorological disaster vulnerability and an economy still dependent on carbon-based commodities, faces dual exposure to both risk channels. This study aims to map the extent to which financial risk and climate change have been examined in Indonesian academic literature, and to assess whether Indonesia's current condition is a matter of concern or remains within a safe zone. A systematic literature review of national and international journal publications from 2017-2026 was conducted, supplemented by secondary-data analysis of per-capita carbon dioxide emissions and official disaster data. The results show that research on this nexus has grown rapidly since 2022 yet remains behind international institutional studies in volume and methodological depth. Data indicate that Indonesia's per-capita CO2 emissions remain below the world and Asian averages, but the upward trend is steep, compounded by a high frequency of hydrometeorological disasters and structural dependence on fossil energy. The study concludes that Indonesia occupies an 'elevated-but-manageable risk zone' - not yet a systemic crisis, but no longer within a safe zone - requiring accelerated integration of climate-risk management into macroprudential policy, stronger data infrastructure, and a just acceleration of the energy transition.

Abstract

The Free Nutritious Meals Program (Makan Bergizi Gratis/MBG) is among the largest social spending programs in Indonesia's fiscal history, with a 2026 budget ceiling of IDR 268 trillion down from an initial plan of IDR 335 trillion reaching more than 63 million beneficiaries. This study compares the design and GDP-to-budget ratio of MBG with comparable programs in Brazil, India, the United States, Sweden, and Finland, and examines its relationship with investor trust in Indonesia. A descriptive-comparative method based on document analysis of official government reports, international institutional databases, and indexed academic literature was employed. Budget-to-GDP ratios were calculated by the author using official budget figures and World Bank GDP data. Results show that MBG's budget share (estimated at 1.1–1.4% of GDP) far exceeds Brazil's PNAE, India's PM Poshan, and the United States' NSLP (each below 0.1% of GDP). Fitch and Moody's revised Indonesia's outlook to negative over fiscal deficit concerns, while S&P maintained a stable outlook, citing the MBG budget reduction favorably. The study concludes that MBG carries a dual signal: short-term fiscal risk alongside potential long-term human-capital investment value, whose sustainability depends on fiscal policy credibility and program governance.
