Abstract

The Asian economic crisis that erupted in Indonesia in mid-1997 has resulted in fundamental changes in the structure of the Indonesian economy. For instance, although it was a controversial decision, the fuel subsidy has been extensively reduced since 2000 because of government budget constraints. This paper examines the decision of the government to eliminate the fuel subsidy (and increase the price of fuel) from 2000. It also measures to what extent such a decision has affected the level of people’s welfare in 2005. Using regression analysis, the paper indicates that the decision of the government to increase the price of oil, together with several other variables, correlates negatively with the level of people’s welfare. Based on these findings, it is recommended that the government should be careful in responding to the current conditions in the oil market where the world oil price fluctuates and has increased sharply. Instead of increasing the domestic fuel price, there are several actions that the government can take to respond to the increasing world oil price. Among them are implementing a cross-subsidy policy to redistribute income from higher to lower income groups, making comprehensive plans to increase and achieve lifting oil target, and intensifying efforts to diversify sources of energy.

Abstract

Background: Social protection programs constitute sensitive interventions addressing the underlying causes of stunting. However, empirical evidence regarding the extent to which social protections contribute to reducing stunting remains inconclusive. Aims: This study examines the correlation between social protection programs and the incidence of stunting in Indonesia, utilizing data from the 2022 Survey of the Nutritional Status of Indonesian (SSGI) with a sample size of 323,887 children aged 3 to 60 months. Methods: The study employed binary logistic regression, with childhood stunting incidence as the dependent variable. This method enables the estimation of the probability of stunting based on variations in program exposure. The key programs of interest are Program Keluarga Harapan (PKH), Bantuan Langsung Tunai (BLT), Bantuan Pangan Non-Tunai (BPNT), and Wilayah Prioritas Stunting (DPS), incorporating other control variables related to child, household, and household infrastructure characteristics. Results: BLT is positively associated with stunting, while PKH, BPNT, and DPS show no significant effects. Conversely, access to clean water, sanitation, and clean cooking energy reduces stunting, underscoring the role of health-related infrastructure and the limited contribution of social protection programs to child nutrition. Conclusion: In a policy perspective, the findings underscore the need for greater harmonization between social assistance programs and broader improvements in health, nutrition, environmental conditions, targeted education, health behaviour towards improved nutritional intake, and healthy practices. A novel contribution of this study is offering one of the largest nationally representative analyses linking multiple social protection programs (PKH, BPNT, BLT, and DPS) to stunting outcomes using SSGI 2022 data at the individual level.  Keywords: Stunting, Family Hope Program (PKH), Direct Cash Transfer (BLT), Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT), Stunting Priority Areas (DPS).
