Abstract

This study investigates the impact of financial ratios and firm size on the profitability of companies in the chemical industry listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2023 . Profitability is measured using Return on Assets (ROA), while the independent variables include Working Capital to Total Assets (WCTA), Current Ratio (CR), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), Total Asset Turnover (TAT), and Firm Size (SZ). A quantitative approach was employed using multiple linear regression analysis. The sample consisted of 25 chemical companies selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that CR, TAT, and SZ have a significant positive effect on ROA, while DER has a significant negative effect. WCTA, however, shows no significant impact on profitability. The adjusted R² value of 0.742 indicates that 74.2% of the variation in profitability can be explained by the model. These results highlight the importance of liquidity management, efficient asset utilization, optimal capital structure, and firm scale in driving profitability in the chemical sector. The study provides valuable insights for company management, investors, and policymakers in enhancing financial performance and strategic decision-making within the industry.

Abstract

As one of the developing countries in the world, Indonesia is very active in developing ICT. The dependence of the Indonesian people on ICT increases every year. The two ICT indicators experiencing rapid development are the telephone and the internet. This study aims to analyze the effects of fixed-line phone users, mobile phone users, and internet users on economic growth in Indonesia. The panel data used in this study is panel data from 33 provinces in Indonesia from 2011–2019. The results showed that mobile phone users and internet users have positive effects on economic growth. However, fixed-line phones have a negative and insignificant influence on economic growth. Advances in technology have shifted fixed-line phones to smartphones. The government is expected to control and direct mobile phones and the internet for productive activities to encourage economic improvement.

Abstract

This study empirically examines and analyzes the effect of gender on human capital investment in Indonesia. Using the logistic regression method and data sourced from 315,672 households in Indonesia, this study shows that the number of boys, the number of girls, the working status of the head of the household, and the highest education of the head of the household have a positive and significant impact on human capital investment in Indonesia. The results show that female household heads who work and invest in the cost of children's education are more significant than male household heads who also work. Higher the education level of the head of the household, the higher the income received and also investment for children. This research shows strong evidence of gender inequality in education spending that tends to be more towards girls. Based on the results obtained, development policies can consider gender differences in investment in labor and education. Increasing the school participation rate of women compared to men will increase the differentiation of the workforce by gender but also increase income inequality between men and women. Likewise, investment in education which tends to be more directed to women than men, will reduce income inequality.
