Abstract

Animal food consumption, especially fish consumption in Indonesia, is relatively low. In general, it can be seen that the difference in consumption behavior with demand depends not only on prices and total expenditure but also on some household characteristics. This study aims to determine the influence of the education level of homemakers on fish consumption in Indonesia. The data used in this study are secondary data obtained from IFLS (Indonesian Family Life Survey) wave 4 of 2007 and wave 5 of 2014, as well as data from the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries using a panel data regression model. The primary independent variable in this study was the education level of homemakers, and independent variables were added, which included age, income, location of residence, marital status, and gender of the head of the household. The dependent variable in this study is fish consumption expenditure. The results of the study found that the education level of homemakers, based on the length of schooling, is at a significance level of 5 percent, which affects household fish consumption expenditure in Indonesia. Every increase in the education level of homemakers by one year can increase the average household fish consumption in Indonesia by 6.0 percent. Fish products are consumed more by urban communities than by rural communities. The paper contributes to the academic literature on household consumption behavior and its determinants. Focusing on the specific context of Indonesia and examining the role of housewives' education levels enriches our understanding of the complex interplay between education, gender, and dietary choices.

Abstract

Purpose — Single motherhood is widely associated with poorer child outcomes, yet it remains unclear whether these disadvantages stem from family structure itself or from the economic shocks that accompany it. This distinction is particularly important in developing-country contexts, where weak social protection and labor market informality may amplify both channels. We examine how different pathways into single motherhood affect children’s cognitive development.Methods — We use longitudinal data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) and employ Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to estimate both direct and indirect effects of maternal marital status on children’s cognitive outcomes, while controlling for demographic and household characteristics.Findings — The results show that children in single-mother households, particularly those experiencing divorce, have lower cognitive scores. Poverty plays a key mediating role, as higher poverty levels are associated with worse cognitive outcomes. Households headed by divorced individuals exhibit higher poverty, while the effect of widowhood is smaller and not statistically significant. In addition, larger household size and greater distance from economic centers increase poverty, whereas higher education of the household head and per capita expenditure reduce it.Implication — The findings suggest that policies targeting single-mother households should address both economic vulnerability and structural constraints, including limited access to services and unequal labor market opportunities.Originality — This paper contributes to the limited longitudinal literature in developing countries by comparing divorce and widowhood and their roles in perpetuating intergenerational disadvantages through economic and non-economic channels.
