Abstract

Unwillingness to seek healthcare has been observed in citizens from many countries during the Covid-19 pandemic. Previous studies show that the changes in behavior are due to various reasons such as economic slowdown, loss of health insurance due to termination of employment, and fear of contracting the virus. This behavior may result in worsened health conditions, making a individual more susceptible to the virus. The supply side of health care is one of the things that should be considered in the discussion about access to health care in developing countries. This paper investigates access to the healthcare problem of Indonesians, discusses both the supply side and demand side by looking at the change of behavior due to the patients’ fear of getting treatment during pandemic covid-19. We will serve this purpose through a small-scale survey and offer some insights from a statistical analysis perspective as well. Based on a survey from 588 respondents from the west Indonesia region, this study observes that the respondents’ health condition shows no significant change before and during the Covid-19 pandemic era. On the other hand, the respondents’ frequency of accessing outpatient healthcare proves to be significantly decreasing during the Covid-19 pandemic era, with 23,4% of the respondents stating that they avoid utilizing outpatient healthcare as an effort to avoid the Coronavirus. The frequency of using Kartu Indonesia Sehat to access outpatient healthcare also shows a significant decrease during this pandemic era.

Abstract

Microcredit is a financial instrument designed to improve well-being and reduced poverty rate. It also provides non-economic opportunities particularly in child education. This research aims to analyze the impact of microcredit participation from both formal and informal source on education and child labor in Indonesian Micro-Enterprise Households. This study utilizes data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey 5th wave in 2014/2015 and employs Propensity Score Matching model. The result shows that formal microcredit significantly raises school participation while reducing school gap. However informal microcredit does not show similar benefits on child education. The effect of child labor both from formal and informal microcredit remain inconclusive, highlight the need for further research that account for potential confounding factors. This finding suggests policymakers to prioritize access to formal microcredit especially for micro-enterprise households.
