Abstract

This paper assesses the effectiveness of movement restriction policies in Indonesia (Non-Pharmaceutical Interventions, NPIs) in controlling COVID-19 transmission and their implications for regional economic performance. By integrating an epidemiological framework with the model of economic growth, this study offers a novel approach to assessing how public health policies interact with economic dynamics at the provincial level in period July 2020 – September 2021. Using district-level data from Kawalcovid19 and MoH, the analysis shows comprehensive restriction packages such as PSBB II and PPKM Level 1-4 were largely ineffective nationwide. In contrast, specific interventions such as stricter school closures, workplace closures, and international travel controls were significantly associated with fewer new cases in Java and Indonesia while did not hinder provincial economic growth. These results underscore the value of targeted, evidence-based measures over broad restrictions. The paper contributes to the literature by bridging epidemiological modeling and economic growth analysis, offering insights for designing pandemic responses that balance health protection and economic stability. The study provides policy insights for managing future pandemics in developing countries with large informal sectors and limited fiscal capacity.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between household land ownership and the number of hours children spend working. This assumption is based on previous research suggesting that children from households with large landholdings are more likely to be engaged in child labor than those from land-poor households. This phenomenon arises from the fact that land is a crucial asset for agricultural households, often requiring family members, including children, to participate in farm-related activities. This study employs a random effects method using panel data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) for the years 2000, 2007, and 2014. The findings reveal a distinct pattern, particularly in the Indonesian context, where land size exhibits a non-linear relationship with children's working hours. As land ownership increases, children's working hours tend to decrease; however, beyond a certain threshold, children's working hours begin to rise with increasing land size. Heterogeneity analysis further indicates that non-food farmland has a greater impact on the increase in children's working hours. This may be due to the higher demand for additional labor in larger-scale agricultural production, which often relies on family members for support.
