Abstract

This study seeks to examine the phenomenon of the “sandwich generation” in contemporary Indonesia from both psychological and religious perspectives. The research is significant due to the increasing economic pressures on families, which have compelled many individuals to support their parents while simultaneously meeting their own needs, thereby impacting mental health and family dynamics. Previous studies have predominantly concentrated on economic and social dimensions, leaving a gap in understanding the interplay between psychological stress, cultural values, and the concept of filial piety within Islam. Employing a qualitative methodology, this research analyses the lived experiences of three informants who bear dual familial responsibilities. The findings indicate that members of the sandwich generation experience anxiety, emotional exhaustion, role conflict, and diminished self-esteem as a result of pressures stemming from family obligations, occupational demands, and personal aspirations. Furthermore, family relationships  tend to adopt a more instrumental character, with children assuming the role of primary financial providers. Drawing upon Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory and the thought of Syed Muhammad Naquib al-Attas, this study contends that a transactional interpretation of birr al-wālidayn may obscure the values of ikhlāṣ (sincerity) and raḥmah (compassion). The contribution of this research lies in its integrative approach, which bridges empirical social realities, humanistic psychology, and the Islamic intellectual tradition.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze modern dairy farming management practices at Supri Farm and Pranajaya Farm in Yogyakarta and examine their ethical implications for human–animal relations from the perspective of Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s thought. This research employs an interpretive qualitative approach through one-month field observations and semi-structured in-depth interviews with two farm owners purposively selected based on their commercial production orientation, adoption of modern dairy farming systems, and involvement in surrounding community economic activities. The data were analyzed interpretively by identifying dairy farming practices and examining them through Nasr’s critique of the instrumentalization of nature in modernity. The findings reveal that both farms implement calf separation, machine milking twice daily, confined housing systems, and artificial insemination as part of reproductive management. These practices demonstrate a dominant orientation toward efficiency and productivity, which, from Nasr’s perspective, may indicate a tendency to position animals as economic instruments. However, this study does not directly measure the psychological conditions of cows or ecological impacts. Therefore, the findings remain contextual and limited to the two investigated farms. This study contributes a conceptual analysis of modern dairy farming practices through the framework of Seyyed Hossein Nasr’s Islamic environmental ethics.
