Abstract

Indonesia was experiencing trade globalization in the form of decreasing and uniforming tariffs and eliminating various non-tariff barriers. Trade globalization had a positive and negative impacts on Indonesian’s welfare. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the effect of Trade’s Globalization on Indonesian’s Welfare. The Trade globalization was measured by three variables, namely Trade Openness, Inflation, and Exchange Rate. While Indonesian’s Welfare was measured by three aspects, namely education aspect using School Enrollment, health aspect using Life Expectancy, and economic aspect using the GDP Per capita. The data used was time series data from 1971-2016. This study applied mix-methods, quantitatively using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) and qualitatively using desk study. The results indicated that Trade Openness and Exchange Rate were positive and significant indicators in measuring Trade globalization. In addition, School Enrollment and GDP Per capita were also positive and significant indicators in measuring Indonesian’s Welfare. In general, the test showed that Trade globalization had a negative and significant influence on Indonesian’s Welfare. This fact suggested the importance of controlling exchange rate stability in Indonesia, because exchange rate could affect people’s ability to maintain lives through purchasing power. In addition, globalization measured through Trade Openness could be an accommodation to obtain new technology in various fields, such as in education to improve the quality of human resources, in health sector to treat various diseases and reduce the risk of death, and in economy sector to increase Per capita income.

Abstract

Transformation of digitalization in large industries has an impact on the automation of production equipment, including the replacement of production machines from conventional machines (manual) to digital machines. Meanwhile, automation of production equipment requires workers with higher skills, in fact the existing workforce does not have expertise in carrying out all-digital equipment. The impact is a reduction in labor (layoffs). Machine replacement is done in stages so that the reduction of workforce (PHK) in bulk is not visible. However, the inconsistency between the preparation in the world of education and the needs in the world of work continues to occur today. Until now, vocational development based on local resources has not been operating optimally and needs serious attention from the local government. The government on various occasions mentioned four leading sectors that will be strengthened in the development of vocational institutions, namely maritime, tourism, agriculture (food security), and the creative industry. In addition, the government is also developing a policy scheme for Skill Development Funds (SDF), which is a skills improvement program for workers affected by automation (PHK), including through Vocational Training Center (BLK).

Abstract

As technology continuously develops, economic activities begin to shift from the use of traditional payment systems to the use of digital payments. The urgency of the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) digitalisation program will gradually encourage small-scale street food vendors to adjust to technological advances. With this transformation, this study aimed to measure the development of QRIS usage among small merchants, whereby only little research has been done on the use of QRIS among small merchants. The researchers conducted a survey and in-depth interviews with small merchants at Pondok Cina Station, Depok, West Java, Indonesia. The results showed that there were more respondents who did not use QRIS with 53.3%, rather than those who used QRIS with 46,7%, although the difference was relatively not large. The biggest reason why merchants still do not use QRIS is that they do not understand how to use it and have encountered difficulty using it. In fact, there are still customers who rarely use it. Nevertheless, meeting high customer demand is one of the most common reasons why merchants use QRIS as a means of payment. Education, gender and age of merchants are aspects that can be researched deeper which are the determining factors for merchants using QRIS. The interview results show that QRIS is able to increase merchants' sales profits. There are several reasons why the respondents do not use QRIS, such as lack of understanding on how to use it, with 19.4%, consumers rarely use QRIS with 22.6%, inconvenience of using it with 22.6%, and making losses with 3.2%.
