Abstract

This article examines the perceptions and decision-making processes regarding the concept of being childfree (choosing to live without children) among students at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. This university provides a compelling case for study due to its mission of cultivating mentally, spiritually, and intellectually capable individuals. The emphasis on 'spirituality' highlights the expectation for UIN Bandung students to develop a strong understanding of religion, which influences decision-making, including on social and religious issues such as the childfree phenomenon. This study seeks to explore UIN Bandung students’ perceptions of the childfree phenomenon, identify the factors influencing these perceptions, and analyze their decision-making processes regarding childfree choices. Using a descriptive method with a mixed-methods approach, data were collected through surveys and unstructured interviews. The findings reveal that the majority of UIN Bandung students perceive the concept of being childfree negatively. Factors influencing their perceptions include internal factors, such as personality traits (attitudes, interests, and experiences), and external factors, such as societal conditions. The study categorizes student decision-making into three groups: those who perceive childfree negatively and desire to have children, those who perceive childfree positively and choose to remain childfree, and those who perceive childfree positively but still desire to have children.

Abstract

The employment problems experienced by Generation Z (born in 1997-2012) as the youngest workforce are currently attracting the attention of many parties. Various studies and the existing literature show that employment problems are structural and cultural. However, from various studies and literature, there is still not much comprehensive discussion of the various employment problems experienced by this generation. Therefore, this study aims to describe the various employment problems experienced by Gen Z. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach through library research with Miles and Huberman’s interactive model of data analysis techniques. The results of this study show that there are four main categories that color the dynamics of Gen Z employment: the decline in employment in the formal sector, the generation gap and differences in work preferences, the tendency to be voluntarily unemployed, and the dynamics of the gig economy that color the Gen Z job market. The findings show that Generation Z's employment problems are related to limited employment opportunities and changes in the orientation, values, and expectations of the younger generation towards the world of work, which are interrelated. This research is expected to contribute academically and practically to current employment issues, especially as a study material for developing employment policies that are pro-Gen Z and benefit many parties.

Abstract

Religious organisations in Indonesia have undergone a digital transformation process that has brought significant changes to various aspects of religious life, including those carried out by Persatuan Islam (Persis), as one of the Islamic organisations that has long existed in Indonesia. This research uses a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques in the form of documentation from Persis official website and social media. This article aims to explain the form of digital transformation, digital communication strategies, and reveal the representation of religious values displayed by Persis. The results of this study show that the digital transformation carried out by Persis is in the form of digitalisation of da'wah in online media and crowdfunding in the form of digital fund collection and payment. The digital communication strategy carried out by Persis targets media selection in the form of websites, social media Youtube, Instagram, and Facebook with a flexible communication style according to the media used. The target audience is urban communities and young people who have easier access to the internet. The values displayed in Persis da'wah target various aspects including education, Islamic law, faith, solidarity between people, and various other dimensions related to teaching and internalising Islamic teachings. Various digital transformations carried out by Persis are carried out as an effort to maintain the existence of a long-established organisation.
