Abstract

Background: Food allocation is a fundamental aspect within households, seemingly capable of being distributed evenly among household members, especially among siblings. However, several factors can lead to differences in food allocation among siblings. Method: Using data from IFLS 4 and 5, with food variety as a proxy for food allocation, this study examines two influential factors on food allocation: birth order and imperfect fertility control status. Additionally, this study attempts to elucidate the mechanism of the birth order effect using the aforementioned imperfect fertility control status. FIndings: The findings of this study reveal a negative effect of birth order on household food allocation. Moreover, children with undesired status or belonging to families with undesired status due to imperfect fertility control tend to have lower food variety. Conclusion: However, this study cannot causally explain the mechanism behind the negative effect of birth order through imperfect fertility control status. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study analyzes the effects of birth order and fertility control status on household food allocation, finding adverse effects of birth order and unwanted status on food variation. As a novelty, this study proposes the development of a family-based nutrition intervention program that considers intra-household dynamics, aiming to reduce the gap in food allocation between siblings and improve children's overall nutritional status.

Abstract

Personal tax exemption (Penghasilan Tidak Kena Pajak - PTKP) can influence fertility choices by changing the costs or benefits of childbearing and increasing family disposable income. This study aims to investigate the impact of personal tax exemption on the addition of children in Indonesia. This study employs secondary data from Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) data waves 4 and 5. The estimation, using a linear probability model, is an improvement from earlier studies as it employs a non-linear specification to more effectively capture the pattern of children's desired demand. This study found an inverse U-shaped relationship between the addition of children and personal tax exemption. The inverse U-shaped relationship indicates that the marginal effect of personal tax exemption decreases as the value of personal tax exemption increases. In addition, the probability of adding children is also influenced by the mother’s characteristics (age and working status), other adult female family members in the household, and the number of children. This study reveals that the taxation variable, personal tax exemption, can affect fertility. Thus, birth control should be carried out by considering various aspects other than direct birth control (e.g., family planning), including taxation.

Abstract

Purpose This research aims to examine the impact of food insecurity on the probability of child violence within households. Design/methodology/approach The study uses logistic regression analysis to establish the association between the dependent variable (child violence) and the independent variable (food insecurity) while controlling for several variables. The variables related to food insecurity are found in the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) KOR 2020, while the variables associated with child violence are present in the Social Resilience Module of the September 2020 Susenas. The unit of analysis in this research is children aged 0-17 years, with the scope of the study focusing on households included in both Susenas KOR 2020 and the Social Assistance Module 2020 conducted by the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik). After data merging, the sample used in this analysis comprises 40,231 households considered representative.   Findings Descriptive analysis indicates that food insecurity still frequently occurs in households with the highest expenditures, although the percentage is not as high as in the lowest quintile group (the poor). Based on logistic regression analysis, there is a significant association between food insecurity and child violence within households. However, there is a different pattern in the "Severe" food insecurity level, where the probability of child violence is lower compared to other levels of food insecurity.   Research limitations/implications Child violence in this study is based on the admission of adult household members (aged 17 and above) who perpetrate violence against children (aged under 17) and does not specify the type of violence that occurs.   Originality/value The research gap in this study is the occurrence of child violence based on expenditure groups and food insecurity. Additionally, the unit of analysis in this study is children aged 0-17 years within the scope of household research included in the 2020 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas KOR) and the 2020 Social Assistance Module (Modul Hansos) conducted by the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik).

Abstract

Financial difficulties within a household could contribute to cases of domestic violence (DV). This study investigates the correlation between household debt and occurrences of domestic violence towards children in Indonesia. The study employs a quantitative methodology, notably utilising multinomial logistic regression analysis. Evidence suggests that households with several forms of debt are more prone to exhibiting both psychological and physical domestic violence against children, in contrast to households without domestic violence. This association maintains its significance even after taking into account control variables, such as the age of the spouse, the level of education of the head of home, the spouse's level of education, the size of the household, the perception of domestic violence, the schooling status of the children, and the age of the children are statistically associated with psychological, physical, and both types of domestic violence against children. Policymakers should assess household loan repayment capacity to limit lending to those at risk of financial struggle, while the government should implement parental education programs to raise awareness of child abuse and encourage non-violent parenting techniques.

Abstract

Breastfeeding is an important part of a child’s growth and development, especially during its golden age of the first 1,000 days. Physiologically, colostrum, which is formed in breast milk, is able to build infants’ immunity. Breastfeeding has been protected by Law No 36 of 2009, which instructs that every mother has to fulfill the right of their baby to get exclusive breastfeeding for six months. However, the target set by the government, which is 80 percent, has not been met. This study examines the relationship between a mother’s working hours and breastfeeding behavior using a national scale sample, the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) of 2017. This study uses a quantitative approach with a unit of analysis of infants aged 6–23 months, as many as 26,066 from working and non-working mothers and will be analyzed using multinomial logistic regression. The results show that mothers with longer working hours had a lower probability of exclusive breastfeeding or any breastfeeding. Therefore, Commission IX needs to discuss the Draft Law on Mother and Child Welfare which regulates support for working mothers who breastfeed.AbstrakPemberian air susu ibu (ASI) menjadi bagian penting dalam momentum tumbuh kembang anak terutama dalam periode emas yaitu 1.000 hari pertama kehidupan anak karena secara fisiologis, kolostrum yang terbentuk pada ASI mampu membangun imunitas pada bayi. Praktik pemberian ASI telah dilindungi oleh UndangUndang No. 36 Tahun 2009 yang mengamanatkan agar setiap ibu memenuhi hak bayi untuk mendapatkan ASI eksklusif selama enam bulan. Akan tetapi, target sebesar 80 persen yang ditetapkan pemerintah belum dapat terpenuhi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji bagaimana hubungan jumlah jam kerja ibu pada perilaku pemberian ASI dengan menggunakan sampel skala nasional yaitu Survei Sosial Ekonomi Nasional (Susenas) Tahun 2017. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan unit analisis bayi berumur 6–23 bulan sebanyak 26.066 baik dari ibu yang bekerja maupun tidak bekerja dan akan diuji menggunakan regresi logistik multinomial. Hasil yang didapatkan adalah terbukti bahwa ibu yang memiliki jumlah jam kerja lebih tinggi memiliki peluang lebih kecil untuk menyusui eksklusif maupun menyusui namun tidak eksklusif dibandingkan tidak menyusui sama sekali. Oleh karena itu, Komisi IX perlu segera melakukan pembahasan Rancangan Undang-Undang tentang Kesejahteraan Ibu dan Anak yang di dalamnya mengatur dukungan untuk ibu pekerja yang menyusui.

Abstract

This study aims to study the differences in wages for members and non-union members in Indonesia with a sample of 17,650 data. The details of the sample used are 1,855 samples are workers union members, and 15,795 samples are non-union members aged 15-64 years from IFLS5 2014, both formal and informal workers. The results of the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition of the difference between the wages of members and non-union members show that union members earn 0.40 log points higher wages than workers who are not union members. Meanwhile, in the formal sector, the wage difference was higher, reaching 0.50 log points. The gap that occurs is explained by two main factors, namely the explained factor or worker characteristics factor and the unexplained factor. Unexplained factors are other factors that are not included in the research model, such as employment positions and company characteristics. The contribution of the explained factor to all workers contributed the most to the wage gap. In general, workers who are members of trade unions are concentrated in the male gender, have higher education, and live in urban areas.

Abstract

Program Sembako is one of the food assistance instruments to reduce the burden on household expenses in accessing food as well as to meet adequate nutritional needs as an effort to prevent stunting. This study aims to analyze the effect of the basic food program on the stunting prevalence rate in Indonesia. The method used is Two-Stage Least Squares using STATA 16 in processing to test the significance of research. The results of the first stage IV2SLS show that there is a significant positive relationship between the Program Sembako and adequate nutritional intake, then the results of the second stage show that the higher the adequacy of household nutritious food intake, the lower the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia. In addition, there is a significant effect of the BCG vaccine and ownership of proper sanitation on the prevalence of stunting. Program Sembako will reduce the expenditure burden of poor families in terms of food, so that some of the basic needs of the poor can be met. On the other hand, developing the types of foodstuffs obtained from this program will be able to improve community nutrition, especially for children from an early age so that it will have an effect on reducing stunting.

Abstract

A simple theoretical model predicts that when a mother gives birth to a child of her preferred sex, parents will likely invest more resources in that child, leading to more significant human capital. This bias can result in unequal treatment and opportunities, affecting a child’s long-term development. This study investigates how gender preference influences cognitive ability between sons and daughters in Indonesia. This study utilizes longitudinal data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey 1 and 5, analyzed using the Ordinary Least Square method. The results indicate that daughters whose mothers had a son preference had 0.259 points higher cognitive scores. This finding is attributed to the sample distribution, revealing that daughters of mothers who prefer sons were mainly those without male siblings, allowing them to receive equal input from their parents without competing with boys. The heterogeneity analysis further revealed that daughters from disadvantaged backgrounds, such as those living in rural areas and born to less educated mothers, are disproportionately affected by son preference. In conclusion, it appears that children’s family background and sibling composition can significantly impact the disparity in cognitive achievement between sons and daughters.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of intensity of household debt on domestic violence (DV) towards children in Indonesia. There is a positive relationship between the amount of household debt and the likelihood of domestic violence towards children based on literature review. This research uses a quantitative method with multinomial logistic regression analysis. The results of this study indicate that households with more than one household debt are correlated with an increased likelihood of both psychological and physical domestic violence towards children compared to the likelihood of no domestic violence, both before and after controlling variables added.

Abstract

Background: Entrepreneurship encompasses a range of components, including passion, attitude, and behavior, which serve as manifestations of calculated risk-taking courage motivated by an individual's personal determination and capabilities. Individuals exhibiting such a disposition are frequently recognized as self-employed individuals or entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs, by leveraging their ability to recognize commercial opportunities and mobilize resources, play a vital role in fostering economic growth and innovation. Methods: The method used in this study is binary logistic regression involving data from Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 2014 fifth wave. The study identified three dimentions of social capital that included trust, participation, and cooperativeness. Findings: This is particularly evident in developing economies, where entrepreneurship serves as a key driver of employment and industry expansion. For example, in Indonesia, where Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) and self-employed individuals account for a large portion of the economy, the entrepreneurial spirit fuels job creation, enhances productivity, and stimulates market competition. As of recent data, MSMEs contribute to more than 60% of Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and nearly 97% of its total employment. This study aims to analyze the relationship between social capital and entrepreneruship in Indonesia. Conclusion: The result showed that participation dimension of social capital significantly positively associated with entrepreneurship. The result also showed that trust dimension of social capital signicantly negatively associated with entrepreneruship. Additionally, all control variables, including age, gender, marital status, and economic conditions, showed statistically significant relationships with entrepreneurship. Older individuals, women, married individuals, and those with extroverted personalities are more likely to engage in entrepreneurship. Conversely, those living in urban areas and regions with higher gross domestic regional product (GDRP) are less inclined towards entrepreneurial activities, possibly due to alternative employment opportunities. Novelty/Originality of this article: These results underscore the complex role of social capital in entrepreneurship and highlight the importance of policy measures that foster social capital to support entrepreneurial activity in Indonesia.
