Abstract

Indonesia is one of the countries with a large elderly population. The high participation rate of the elderly workforce can cause this.  This kind of challenge, if it does not receive special attention from the government, can cause several new problems, especially in the issue of employment. Therefore, this study was conducted to see how household characteristics influence the decision of older people to work. The data used in this study is sourced from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5th wave. The methodology used in this paper is a logit econometric model. This logit model is used because the dependent variable from this study is a dummy variable. From the analysis results, evidence was found that household characteristics, such as the type of work, education level, marital status, health status, and residential area status, significantly impact the decision of older people to work. By understanding the characteristics of households that influence older people's decision to work, we can design more effective policies and programs to support older people and ensure their well-being, especially at retirement age, such as pension schemes and social protection programs.

Abstract

Environmental awareness, when nurtured from an early age, can develop into a positive habit that becomes embedded in one’s daily life. This community service partnership program was implemented at PAUD Mutiara Kids in Temanggung as a concrete step to build environmental awareness among young learners. Based on evaluations conducted by the community service team, 92% of the students were already able to distinguish between organic and non-organic waste. However, practical skills in waste utilization were still lacking, particularly in using recycled materials for educational purposes. In addition, environmental values had not yet been integrated into students’ daily routines. To address these issues, the “Zero-Waste Lifestyle” program was introduced as a strategic solution to empower teachers, students, and school staff. The program consisted of three key activities: (1) Introducing and promoting the “Zero-Waste Lifestyle” as a method for developing environmental literacy, (2) Facilitating collaborative workshops to create educational toys from recycled materials through the Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project (P5), and (3) Cultivating environmentally responsible behavior through consistent waste sorting habits. The program led to positive behavioral changes in students, particularly in waste management, and helped foster an environmental awareness aligned with the broader goals of sustainable development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of the circular economy in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the food and beverage sector in Central Java Province and formulate an efficient and sustainable ecosystem development model. The research employed an exploratory descriptive method with a case study approach, examining 60 business units across four districts/cities: Semarang, Semarang Regency, Kendal, and Kudus. The analysis was conducted using a circular economy calculator to measure four key indicators: circularity, value capture, recycled content, and reuse index. The results showed that the circularity level in food MSMEs was still low, with 75.5% of respondents falling within the range of 1-5%. Most of the value capture, recycling content, and reuse index scores were also below 1%. This condition reflects the limitations of knowledge, access to technology, and the availability of adequate waste management infrastructure.
