Abstract

This research aims to investigate the impact of socioeconomic status factors on individual happiness in Indonesia. Happiness is a multifaceted phenomenon arising from both internal and external sources. While conventional measures often reduce it to mere absolute income, a comprehensive understanding necessitates the incorporation of subjective perspectives. Our study unveils compelling insights into the impact of socioeconomic status on happiness. In doing so, this research contributes valuable insights to the field of happiness economics. It informs policy initiatives to enhance the well-being of individuals in Indonesia and similar contexts. Drawing upon cross-sectional data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey, Wave 5 (2014), encompassing a substantial sample of 29,018 respondents, we employ the ordered probit method. This statistical choice is motivated by the ordinal nature of the response variable and its alignment with normality assumptions in error distribution. The research findings reveal several socioeconomic status factors that significantly influence happiness. Wealth level, education, urban residence, and religion correlate positively with individual happiness, while age and employment status show a negative correlation. Conclusion: These findings underscore the importance of socioeconomic policies to enhance the happiness of Indonesian society.

Abstract

SMK Muhammadiyah 1 Moyudan in Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, is a vocational education institution focusing on the hospitality sector. However, students from grades X to XII face challenges in mastering English, particularly speaking and listening skills, which are crucial in this industry. These limitations can affect their confidence in communicating with foreign guests and hinder their readiness to enter an increasingly globalized workforce. To address this issue, a practice-based training program has been implemented to improve students' English-speaking skills. This program includes awareness sessions on the importance of English in the hospitality industry and interactive simulations with professional scenarios involving native English speakers. Findings from a one-sample paired t-test on 36 participants of the community service program showed an increase of 3.28 points in students' understanding of the importance of English proficiency in the hospitality industry, with a significance level of 1%. This indicates that the community service activity successfully enhanced participants' awareness of the importance of English in the hospitality sector.

Abstract

During economic uncertainty following the COVID-19 pandemic, social assistance is vital for alleviating the economic burden on the poor and vulnerable to poverty, particularly those residing in island-based areas. The research aims to measure the performance of social assistance programs in the regional economy of the North Maluku Archipelago Province. The study employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) to measure efficiency values, with input variables including social aid, unemployment, and inflation, while the output variable is poverty. The results reveal that social assistance is ineffective in reducing poverty. Several obstacles, including the minimal budget allocation, inaccuracies in identifying assistance recipients, and insufficient time for aid distribution are identified as primary causes of the inefficiency of social aid programs. Updating poverty data into one unified and integrated dataset is essential for the efficiency distribution of social assistance. Accurate targeting and timely distribution are the keys to the effectiveness of social assistance programs in reducing poverty.

Abstract

Stunting has become a global priority in addressing health disparities among children. The study aims to investigate the autonomy of villages in reducing the prevalence of stunting in eastern Indonesia. The research data coverage is derived from sources with high credibility in Indonesia. The prevalence of stunting is obtained from the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey by the Ministry of Health, while the Village Development Index is sourced from the Ministry of Villages. Panel data from 13 provinces in Eastern Indonesia for 2015-2022 are estimated using the Random Effect Model through the Generalized Least Squares method. The findings indicate that the Village Development Index significantly influences the reduction of stunting rates. This highlights the importance of local empowerment strategies in combating health disparities. Furthermore, the decrease in unmet Family Planning (FP) service needs, the decline in early marriages under 18 years, and the higher years of education contribute significantly to the reduction of stunting prevalence. This underscores the interconnection between social determinants and child health outcomes.

Abstract

The Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) is one of the provinces in Indonesia with rapid development. This is indicated by the increasing number of shopping centers and the development of tourism and educational activities. Sleman Regency is a business center in DIY Province because it has the largest number of shopping centers in DIY Province compared to other districts. This study aims to determine whether the house adjacent to Sleman City Hall, the largest shopping center in Sleman Regency, has a higher selling price. While similar studies use primary data collected in the field through questionnaires, this study contributes to the property economics literature by utilizing secondary data from the OLX dataset to estimate the selling price of the house. A total of 229 data obtained through the OLX website related to selling prices, proximity to Sleman City Hall, and property characteristics were processed using multiple regression analysis with the ordinary least squares (OLS) technique. The finding of this study is that the distance from Sleman City Hall has a negative and significant effect on the selling price of the house. Another finding from this study is that the building area and land area have a positive and significant effect on the selling price of the house. On the other hand, the distance to the asphalt road has nothing to do with the selling price of the house.
