Abstract

Women frequently engage in small businesses related to the informal sector and make a significant contribution to the economy but frequently face gender discrimination and poor working conditions. This study aimed to analyze the determinants of female workers' income in the informal sector using microdata from SAKERNAS 2020. This study found several vital conclusions emerge. Firstly, an increase in the number of years of schooling positively influences the likelihood of attaining a decent income. Secondly, age initially positively affects decent income, but it decreases after reaching a certain age, indicating diminishing returns. Marital status plays a significant role, as married women in the informal sector are less likely to achieve decent income. Additionally, rural residence reduces the likelihood of decent income compared to urban living. Lastly, proficiency in internet usage significantly enhances the likelihood of decent income. The research contributes novel insights into the determinants of female workers' income in the informal sector, shedding light on specific factors that influence income levels, offering a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and advocates working towards gender equality and improved economic conditions in this sector.

Abstract

Return migration is a topic of considerable interest in scholarly literature, with many studies suggesting that returning migrants can impact the economic development of their home country through capital accumulation and entrepreneurship. This study seeks to examine the entrepreneurial intentions of return migrants and the influence of formal education and training on their entrepreneurial tendencies. Utilizing data from the National Workforce Survey (Sakernas) in 2020 and employing logistic regression analysis, the study revealed that formal education tends to steer returning migrants towards the formal sector rather than entrepreneurship upon their return. Conversely, while training was found to potentially increase the likelihood of entrepreneurship, the effect was not statistically significant. Additionally, individual characteristics such as age, gender, and marital status were found to significantly influence entrepreneurial intentions, with older individuals, females, and married individuals exhibiting a higher propensity for entrepreneurship among return migrants. These findings contribute to the existing literature by highlighting that, on average, return migrants in Indonesia tend to have relatively low levels of education, and higher levels of human capital may diminish their interest in entrepreneurship.
