Abstract

This study investigates the perceptions of younger workers towards older workers in Srigonco Village, Malang Regency, Indonesia, amid a demographic shift characterised by a growing aging population. The research examines factors influencing older workers' re-entry into the labour market and the retirement preparedness of younger workers. Findings indicate a dual perception: while many younger workers value older employees for their experience and agricultural knowledge, they simultaneously express concerns about older workers' adaptability to new technologies and physical limitations. Specifically, 62.5% of respondents recognise that financial necessity drives many older workers to remain in the workforce, highlighting significant economic challenges. Moreover, 53.13% agree that older workers face discrimination and biases, which can hinder their employment opportunities. This research underscores the urgent need for inclusive labour market policies that accommodate the unique challenges faced by older workers while fostering collaboration between generations. Despite limitations in sample diversity and potential biases in self-reported data, the study emphasises the importance of intergenerational knowledge transfer for economic sustainability. Future research should adopt longitudinal and qualitative methods to gain deeper insights into the evolving dynamics between older and younger workers, focusing on effective policy interventions to improve employment outcomes for all age groups.

Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries known as the world's banana (Musa Paradisiaca) producer, where 50% of Asian banana production comes from Indonesia. Bananas are one of the sources of prebiotics that fight free radicals that trigger oxidative stress, especially for people with hypercholesterolemia, Alzheimer's Disease, and Autism. There is a type of Pisang Candi (Musa Paradisiaca Fa. Corniculata) that is gluten free and is the largest commodity in Malang Regency, especially Sidodadi village. The research aims to process bananas into various forms of functional food through the use of appropriate technology and test their physiochemical content. The method of activity was carried out through technological engineering and proximate testing through a research & development approach. The results showed that 100 grams of banana flour contained 3.297% protein, 82.966% carbohydrate, 0.573% fat, 2.384% ash/mineral, and 10.780% water. For the banana to have a long shelf life and not easily experience browning due to its polyphenol content, it is dried and made into flour. The benefits of the research and development are increased capacity of farmers, increased quality and added value of temple banana products, and the availability of import substitution of industrial raw materials, which has implications for increasing their income.
