Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of informal employment on household food security in Indonesia, focusing on concern about food sufficiency, access to nutritious food, and reduced food intake. Using data from the March 2021 Indonesia National Socioeconomic Survey, binary logistic regression models were applied to a weighted sample of household heads actively employed in formal and informal sectors. The analysis reveals that informal employment significantly undermines food security across all measures, with informally employed households facing higher risks of food shortages, reduced nutritional access, and inadequate intake. Vulnerabilities are more pronounced in rural and non-agricultural households. Protective factors such as education, internet access, and health insurance enhance food security, while larger household sizes and underemployment exacerbate risks. This study emphasizes the urgent need for targeted interventions to safeguard food security for vulnerable populations in Indonesia.

Abstract

Purpose ― This study aims to evaluate the impact of Indonesia’s Non-Cash Food Assistance Program (BPNT) on household consumption and food security in Sabu Raijua, a remote region in Indonesia with limited food access.Methods ― The Propensity Score Matching (PSM) with kernel techniques is employed to estimate the BPNT program’s effects on household expenditure, caloric intake, and food insecurity using data from 536 households in Sabu Raijua, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia.Findings ― The results indicate that the BPNT program had a limited effect on household spending, nutrition, and food security. Beneficiary households spent slightly more on food and non-food items, showed minor improvements in nutritional intake, and were less likely to face food shortages, though concerns about food adequacy persisted.Implications ― The findings suggest that while BPNT helps alleviate food insecurity, further improvements in program implementation are needed to enhance its overall impact on household welfare.Originality ― This research provides critical insights into the effectiveness of BPNT in a remote region with unique socioeconomic challenges that have not been subject to empirical study, highlighting the challenges and opportunities for improving non-cash food assistance programs in similar contexts.

Abstract

Objective: This study analyzes employment transitions in Indonesia's urban labor markets during the COVID-19 pandemic and recovery period (2020–2022). It empirically examines shifts between formal employment, informal employment, and unemployment, focusing on resilience and inclusivity in the labor market. Design/Methods/Approach: Using multinomial logistic regression on data from Indonesia's National Labor Force Survey (SAKERNAS) from 2020–2022, the study examines socio-demographic and sectoral factors associated with employment transitions. Findings: The results show significant socio-demographic and sectoral disparities in employment transitions. Workers in the manufacturing sector face the highest risks of transitioning to informal employment or unemployment, while the services sector demonstrates greater resilience. Digital access and higher education serve as protective factors, though skill mismatches may persist among tertiary-educated workers. Women and younger workers remain disproportionately vulnerable to unemployment. Originality/Value: This study fills a gap by centering urban labor markets in Indonesia during the COVID-19 shock and early recovery (2020–2022)—a context underexplored in prior work. It jointly models transition among formal employment, informal employment, and unemployment. The analysis integrates digital access alongside socio-demographic and sectoral affiliations, revealing urban-specific mechanisms—heightened job competition and dependence on volatile services/manufacturing—that existing literature often overlooks. Practical/Policy implication: The findings highlight the need for targeted policy interventions to strengthen labor market resilience and inclusivity during economic disruptions. Recommendations include expanding digital infrastructure and literacy, aligning vocational training with market demands, and implementing sector-specific measures such as enhancing labor protections in manufacturing and extending social protections for informal workers in the primary sector.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze digitalization’s impact on micro-firm performance and workers’ welfare in Sumatra’s manufacturing sector. Methods: Employing a Propensity Score Matching (PSM) method, this research compares firms and workers who have adopted digital technologies with a control group. Findings: The findings reveal that digitalization significantly enhances firm income and provides workers with opportunities for higher earnings and extended working hours. However, the findings also show that digitalization did not enhance business stability during the COVID-19 pandemic. These insights highlight the transformative potential of digital technologies in driving economic growth and improving livelihoods while also uncovering critical gaps that must be addressed. Value: This study underscores the need for targeted policies to promote equitable digital adoption, expand digital infrastructure, and provide workforce training programs. By addressing these challenges, digitalization can bridge regional and socio-economic divides, ensuring its benefits reach smaller firms and marginalized workers. Policy implication: The findings contribute valuable insights for policymakers to develop strategies that strengthen the resilience, competitiveness, and inclusivity of Sumatra’s micro-manufacturing sector, fostering a more sustainable and equitable economic landscape in the region.

Abstract

Pandemi COVID-19 mempercepat perubahan dalam struktur ketenagakerjaan Indonesia dan meningkatkan kerentanan perempuan terhadap kehilangan pekerjaan layak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi transisi kerja perempuan selama periode 2020–2022. Data SAKERNAS digunakan dalam analisis regresi logistik terhadap tiga jenis transisi, yaitu pekerjaan formal ke informal, formal ke pengangguran, dan informal ke pengangguran. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa usia, wilayah tempat tinggal, status pernikahan, pendidikan, pelatihan vokasional, dan sektor kerja secara signifikan memengaruhi arah transisi. Akses digital meningkatkan peluang kerja informal tetapi juga memperbesar risiko pengangguran tanpa dukungan keterampilan dan perlindungan sosial. Temuan ini menegaskan pentingnya kebijakan ketenagakerjaan yang adaptif, responsif gender, dan mendukung inklusi digital untuk memastikan transisi kerja perempuan yang lebih aman dan berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This study analyzes the impact of informal employment on household food security in Indonesia, focusing on regional disparities in provinces with high concentrations of informal workers. Using national socioeconomic survey data, logistic regression models initially assessed the associations between informal employment and food security outcomes. To strengthen causal inferences and mitigate selection bias, a comprehensive Propensity Score Matching (PSM) analysis was subsequently conducted. The findings from both approaches consistently link informal employment to adverse food security outcomes, including food availability concerns, limited access to nutritious food, and lower dietary diversity. Provinces with a high prevalence of informal workers consistently demonstrate poorer food security metrics, with the PSM analysis revealing more pronounced negative impacts in these regions, indicating significant spillover effects. Factors such as tertiary education, internet access, and health insurance are positively associated with improved food security, highlighting the critical role of human capital and resource access. These results underscore the importance of employment stability and regional labor market structures in shaping food security. Policies promoting formal employment and stronger social safety nets are critical for equitable food security across Indonesia.
