Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of the open unemployment rate in Sumatera island – Indonesia. We conjecture that the variation of the open unemployment rate (OUR) is the function of economic growth (EG), inflation (INF), and regional minimum wage (RMW). Using the sample of ten provinces in Sumatera island from 2006 to 2018, we further perform a panel data analysis with a random effect model (REM). The obtained empirical results show that there is a negative association between the independent variables (i.e., EG, RMW) and the dependent variable (OUR), while INF does not show any significant association with OUR. Referring to the empirical evidence, we infer that economic growth and regional minimum wage play an essential role in explaining the variation of the open unemployment rate in Sumatera island..

Abstract

This research aims to find out the influence of the development of road infrastructure, education infrastructure, health infrastructure, clean water and electricity on poverty rates on the island of Sumatra, both simultaneously and partially. This research uses quantitative methods in the form of multiple regression analysis with panel data. This type of research is explanatory research, namely testing the relationship between the dependent variable and the independent variable. In this research the data used is secondary data. The data used was obtained from the Badan Pusat Statistik and Kementerian PUPR which includes: data on the percentage of poor people, data on the percentage of roads in a stable condition, data on the ratio of the number of schools per number of students, data on the number of hospitals, data on the ratio of the amount of clean water distributed per number of residents, and data ratio of the amount of electricity distributed per population on the island of Sumatra for the 2014-2022 period. This research uses a random effect model approach analysis. The research results show that simultaneously and partially road infrastructure, education, health, clean water and electricity have an effect on poverty. This shows that, if there is an increase in each infrastructure variable, it can reduce the percentage of poor people on the island of Sumatra.

Abstract

This study investigates the socioeconomic consequences of early marriage in Bengkulu Province, Indonesia, focusing on women's mobility in terms of education and employment. Drawing on 11,553 microdata observations from the 2024 SUSENAS, the analysis establishes that early marriage is systematically correlated with profound intergenerational disadvantages. The findings indicate that early marriage is associated with lower educational attainment, with only 18 percent experiencing upward educational mobility compared to their parents. In the labor market, women’s labor participation tends to be linked to parental employment, as mothers’ and fathers’ work status is correlated with a 51.6 percent and 33.6 percent higher probability of employment, respectively. Conversely, low parental education and large household sizes were identified as key determinants of economic vulnerability. In conclusion, early marriage is closely linked to intergenerational socioeconomic disadvantages, such as limited educational and employment opportunities. Therefore, policy interventions must strategically focus on expanding educational access and enhancing quality employment opportunities in rural settings to facilitate inclusive human capital development.
