Abstract

This study observes social movement in the digitalized era, especially on how the actor of anti-vaccine movement connected as well as spread and formed the knowledge in the social media. This study is essential to be further explored to enrich the theories of anti-vaccine in the digital era. The case to be studied here is the anti-vaccine movement on Facebook, which has developed in the context of the socio-politics of the Indonesian people in 2018-2019. Using Content Analysis as the method, this study finds that the Anti-vaccine Movement in Indonesia rejected the vaccine program by attacking the knowledge hegemony created by medical institutions and the government. It has formed new knowledge by issuing a counter toward the medical discourse. The argument centered on moral anger and structural repression by government agencies, worldwide institutions, pharmacy industries, and media and showed strong logic based on religious belief. This fact indicates that social media plays a role in spreading anti-vaccine ideas and gives way for the movement to develop and to have a dynamic network that can survive for a long of time. By mobilizing knowledge through a social movement in the digitalized world, the anti-vaccine movement in Indonesia has a broader network. It has the potential to influence the success of the government program.

Abstract

Globalization and digital economic transformation have intensified competition among cities to strengthen their positions in global economic networks. While glob- al city scholars have traditionally emphasized advanced producer services, finance, and highly skilled labor as the primary drivers of urban competitiveness, less atten- tion has been given to the gendered dynamics of urban labor markets. This study examines how women’s economic participation contributes to urban competitive- ness in Jakarta, a rapidly transforming metropolitan region experiencing structural adjustments as Indonesia’s national capital. A qualitative case study approach was employed, drawing on semi-structured interviews with 18 informants representing government agencies, financial institutions, civil society organizations, and women entrepreneurs, complemented by secondary data from policy documents and official statistics. The findings indicate that women play a significant role in sustaining Jakar- ta’s urban economy through microenterprises, digital entrepreneurship, and localized production networks that support household income and community-level employ- ment. However, women’s economic participation remains constrained by structural barriers, including limited digital and financial literacy, household economic vulner- ability, gender segmentation within digital markets, and fragmented policy support for microenterprise development. These findings suggest that urban competitiveness cannot be understood solely through high-value global economic sectors; decentral- ized entrepreneurial networks that sustain local economic resilience must also be con- sidered. Therefore, this study argues that gender-inclusive economic participation constitutes a structural component of sustainable urban competitiveness in emerging globalizing cities.
