Abstract

Amid Indonesia's ambition to escape the middle-income trap, the anomaly between productivity growth and wage welfare at the regional level has become a critical structural barrier requiring profound attention. This disparity is not merely a statistical issue but a socio-economic reality that determines the future stability and resilience of the national economy. This study aims to analyze the persistence of labor market disparities in Indonesia, focusing on the dynamics of regional productivity and wages during the 2018–2023 period. Adopting a quantitative descriptive-comparative approach using secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics across 34 provinces, this research examines the elasticity of wages relative to productivity in leading sectors. The results indicate persistent inequalities between Java and non-Java regions, where regional wage growth often lags behind productivity surges, particularly during the post-pandemic economic recovery phase. This phenomenon suggests that the wage-productivity transmission mechanism is still hindered by wage policies that are not yet fully adaptive to local performance realities and agglomeration advantages. Theoretically, this research contributes to the labor economics literature by modeling the wage-productivity interaction within the economic transformation of a developing nation. Practically, this study formulates strategic recommendations for policymakers to design performance-based regional wage systems to narrow inter-regional economic gaps and create a more inclusive labor market across Indonesia.

Abstract

Recurring global financial crises and widening distributive inequalities expose the systemic failures of the conventional market efficiency paradigm in ensuring economic stability and justice. This article aims to reconceptualize financial markets through a moral-economic equilibrium approach as an alternative to the mainstream model. Employing a qualitative method via a critical literature review of conventional and Islamic economics, the study deconstructs the underlying assumptions of both systems to produce a new theoretical reconstruction. Research findings indicate that Islamic financial markets function as equilibrium systems that simultaneously integrate economic efficiency, moral values, and social objectives. The core foundation lies in the prohibition of Riba, Gharar, and Maysir, integrated with risk-sharing mechanisms and organic linkages to the real sector. This moral-economic equilibrium demonstrates that market efficiency and distributive justice can harmoniously synergize within the Maqashid al-shariah framework. In conclusion, the article asserts that Islamic financial markets represent a value-based financial paradigm oriented toward socio-economic welfare and sustainable development. The primary theoretical contribution is the provision of a new analytical framework that synthesizes moral and economic dimensions into a single, cohesive equilibrium construct to address the limitations of the efficiency paradigm in responding to contemporary global economic stability challenges.
