Abstract

Unemployment remains one of the major challenges faced by Indonesia. The government has implemented various policies such as the Pre-Employment Card (Kartu Prakerja), vocational education, labor-intensive programs, and regulatory reforms through the Job Creation Law. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Indonesian government’s efforts to reduce unemployment based on previous research using a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review. The findings indicate that government policies have had a positive impact on improving skills and maintaining social stability; however, their effectiveness remains limited due to weak inter-agency coordination, skill mismatches between workers and industry needs, and a lack of sustainable employment opportunities. Therefore, stronger synergy among programs and better alignment between training and industrial demands are needed to ensure that government policies have a tangible impact on reducing national unemployment rates.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of digital technology has driven the digitalization of accounting systems as a strategic tool to enhance the operational efficiency of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the digital economy era. This study aims to analyze the impact of accounting system digitalization on MSMEs’ operational efficiency and to identify factors influencing its implementation. Using a qualitative library research method, this study systematically reviews relevant national and international literature published over the last decade. The findings indicate that digital accounting systems significantly improve time and cost efficiency through automation, enhance the accuracy and timeliness of financial information, and support more effective managerial decision-making. However, the effectiveness of digitalization is mediated by factors such as digital literacy, managerial support, innovation capability, and regulatory environment. This study concludes that accounting digitalization represents a strategic organizational transformation essential for improving MSMEs’ operational efficiency and competitiveness in the digital economy.

Abstract

This study explores the overlooked phenomenon of “political sungkeman “ as a culturally rooted yet politically strategic gesture performed by Prabowo Subianto toward Joko Widodo (Jokowi) during Indonesia’s 2019 and 2024 presidential elections. While symbolic gestures have been widely studied in global political communication, limited attention has been paid to how localized traditions like sungkeman are adapted to mitigate polarization and influence public perception in highly mediated electoral contexts. Utilizing a qualitative literature review combined with political discourse and media framing analysis, this study investigates the role of sungkeman through five analytical dimensions: political reconciliation, cultural symbolism, image strategy, public response, and media narrative. The findings reveal that sungkeman is employed as a calculated political communication tool that evokes familiarity, fosters reconciliation at the elite level, and helps craft a respectful public image. However, public reactions remain divided along cultural, social, and political lines, reflecting tensions between perceived sincerity and performative intent. The widespread use of digital platforms and entertainment politics further amplifies or challenges the authenticity of this gesture. This research contributes to the theoretical development of political semiotics by providing a culturally specific case from the Global South, demonstrating how traditional practices are repurposed for modern political goals. The implications extend to the broader discourse on democracy, suggesting that culturally resonant communication can foster national unity, but only when grounded in genuine accountability and transparent leadership.
