Abstract

The phenomenon of online gambling has seen significant growth in Indonesia, including in Serang City, particularly amid economic pressures. This study aims to explore in depth how the people of Serang City use online gambling as an economic escape. A qualitative approach was employed with a case study method, involving in depth interviews with 15 participants who actively engage in online gambling. The results indicate that online gambling is seen as an economic alternative due to financial pressures, limited job opportunities, and easy access to technology. The study also reveals the presence of addiction cycles and social vulnerability resulting from this practice. These findings are interpreted through the lens of Strain Theory (Merton) and Rational Choice Theory, which explain individual actions in response to economic constraints. The implications of this research suggest the need for strengthened digital literacy, law enforcement, and community-based interventions.

Abstract

This study investigates the interconnection between smoking behavior, educational attainment, and poverty in Tangerang Regency, Indonesia. Utilizing secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and the Ministry of Health (2023), the analysis reveals that smoking prevalence is highest among individuals with lower educational levels, particularly within economically productive age groups. Despite living close to the poverty line, many households allocate more of their income to tobacco than to essential food items, highlighting a pattern of non-productive spending. The findings indicate a vicious cycle where limited education leads to harmful health behaviors, which in turn reinforce economic hardship. To address this, the study proposes integrated public policies aimed at improving educational access and implementing stricter tobacco control measures. These efforts are crucial to breaking the poverty trap and promoting long-term social welfare.
