Abstract

Indonesia, as a country that is progressing towards an upper middle-income country, is facing a high incidence of disasters. Understanding how disasters impact living standards is still relatively difficult due to the lack of relevant studies in the literature. Therefore, the study aims to analyze the likelihood of individuals who were in areas with a high risk of disaster becoming middle-class workers. In this study, the incidence of disasters is represented by the disaster risk index, which comprises three components, namely the hazard, vulnerability, and capacity components in each province and regency/city based on the definition carried out by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB). By using logistics methods, this study found that individuals living in areas with a high risk of disaster tend to have a lower chance of becoming middle-class workers. In overcoming the labor market challenges faced by regions with high disaster risk, careful policy steps are needed that focus on strengthening capacity and reducing the risk of high investment costs. Enhancing disaster-resistant infrastructure and community networks as well as improving access to social protection services and promoting economic recovery are priorities.

Abstract

Economic growth convergence is one of the economic targets that ASEAN countries aim to achieve through various initiatives and regional cooperation. To realize economic convergence, technology and information play a crucial role in accelerating economic growth in each country or region. As there has not been much research discussing the economic convergence in the context of technology and information among Southeast Asian countries, this study aims to uncover how technological innovation acts as a catalyst for economic growth convergence among ASEAN-5. The study uses secondary data from five ASEAN countries (ASEAN-5) from 2000 to 2020, sourced from the World Bank. The Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) is used to estimate the influence of technological and information developments on economic growth in ASEAN countries. The analysis results indicate that mobile phones have extensively penetrated ASEAN countries. This includes various social and economic groups, including communities in rural or remote areas without stable internet access. Mobile phones, especially basic phones (feature phones), remain the primary tool for communication and information access in many developing countries, including those in ASEAN.
