Abstract

How many workers in East Java can do their work from home? Is working from home supported by sufficient infrastructure and knowledge? What about workers who cannot do their jobs from home? What are their risks to the economic and health impacts of working outside the home? Then, where should policies be taken to reduce the effects of COVID-19 on the economy, especially the workforce? This study tries to provide answers to some of these questions by analyzing the 2021 National Labor Force Survey data and other secondary data. With the main analytical methods in the form of factor analysis, cluster analysis, and binary logistic regression, this study resulted in the classification of people working with WFH and non-WFH in East Java along with their characteristics in the form of digital needs, income, education, and risk of COVID-19 exposure. Another finding from this study is that people who work with non-WFH, female workers, youth, and low education have a greater tendency to be affected by COVID-19 in their economic activities.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has proven to accelerate digitalisation transformation in Indonesia. Various economic activities have involved digital media, the internet, and information technology to support productivity, including informal workers who make up the majority of workers in East Java. This research can provide an initial picture of digital transformation and its impact on informal workers in the new normal through the National Labor Force Survey Data from 2019 to 2022, complemented by other data. Using binary logistic regression analysis, all independent variables in the form of digitalisation, social security, productive age, and risk of exposure to COVID-19 proved to have a significant effect on the welfare of informal workers in the new normal. Furthermore, with the focus of the analysis on digitisation, this study shows that digitalisation can significantly catalyse the formalisation of the informal workforce. The formalisation will reduce the vulnerability of informal workers so that microeconomic activity can be accelerated, which impacts the macroeconomy and society in East Java. This study can also describe the specific segmentation of regencies/cities in East Java regarding the readiness for digitalisation transformation as measured by analysis of variable factors related to the demand and supply sides of digital transformation. Both sides were then carried out a cluster analysis of the Regency/City area in East Java.
