Abstract

The rapid advancement of the times demands that the younger generation possess strong financial literacy to face economic challenges and a consumptive lifestyle. However, the financial literacy level among Indonesian students remains low, affecting their ability to manage personal finances. This community service activity was conducted at SMA Swasta Nasional Petatal, Batubara Regency, North Sumatra, on 18 July 2025, aiming to enhance students’ understanding and foster healthy financial habits from an early age. The implementation method included preparation, interactive education, and evaluation. The materials covered pocket money management, basic Budgeting, distinguishing needs from wants, and the introduction of saving and investment concepts. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding based on pre-test and post-test scores, along with increased awareness and motivation to manage finances wisely. Active participation and positive feedback served as indicators of the program’s success. This activity underscores the importance of integrating financial literacy into secondary education to shape a generation that is independent, responsible, and prepared to face future economic challenges.

Abstract

Income inequality is one of the structural challenges faced by many countries, including Indonesia. This phenomenon reflects an unequal distribution of income across regions, which can lead to social injustice and hinder the process of economic development. This study aims to analyze the effects of the Human Development Index (HDI), economic growth, and unemployment rates on income inequality across 34 provinces in Indonesia over the period 2019–2024. The method employed is panel data regression analysis. The findings reveal that the unemployment rate has a positive and significant effect on income inequality. The HDI shows a significant negative effect, while economic growth does not exhibit a statistically significant impact. These findings highlight the importance of policies that prioritize job creation and human development in addressing inequality. Economic growth strategies should also be designed to be more inclusive.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of sustainable development on Sumatra Island and its spatial distribution, assessed from economic, social, and environmental dimensions. Data analysis was conducted using a composite index method, which comprises various unitless indicators or sub-indicators. Furthermore, Geographic Information System (GIS) techniques were applied to identify the spatial distribution of sustainable development. For the economic dimension, indicators include Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita and the open unemployment rate. The social dimension was analyzed using the Human Development Index (HDI), school participation rates, life expectancy at birth, and poverty rates. Meanwhile, the environmental dimension utilized indicators such as the environmental quality index, air quality index, water quality index, and land cover quality index. Based on the composite index analysis of sustainable development in Sumatra from 2016 to 2020, the results indicate that regional development, in the short term, can be classified as moderately sustainable. Spatially, the sustainable development index values ranged from 50.01 to 75.00, which falls into the moderately sustainable category.

Abstract

This community service activity was conducted in Mekar Baru Village, Sei Balai District, Batu Bara Regency, with the aim of improving the community's skills and economic well-being through outreach and mentoring in the production of salted eggs from duck eggs. Methods used included outreach, demonstrations of salted egg production, and assistance in packaging, pricing, and product marketing. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in community understanding of salted egg production techniques, as evidenced by the participants' success in independently practicing the production steps. The resulting product was of good quality, with a firm yolk texture, an even salty flavor, and greater appeal after the packaging improvements. Furthermore, some participants saw an increase in additional income of Rp 200,000–Rp 400,000 per month from the sale of salted eggs. However, the community still faces challenges such as limited capital, simple packaging, and limited market access. Overall, these activities have had a positive impact on community empowerment, opening new business opportunities, and demonstrating the potential of salted eggs as a superior village product with potential for further development.
