Abstract

This study aims to explore the level of parental knowledge regarding the Gluten-Free Sugar-Free (GFSF) diet and to identify the various challenges they face in its implementation for children with special needs. Using a quantitative survey approach, data were collected from 48 participating parents. Results showed that 50% of respondents had a high level of knowledge about the GFSF diet, 37.5% had moderate knowledge, and 12.5% had basic knowledge. No respondents had low knowledge. However, all respondents (100%) reported experiencing significant challenges in implementing the GFSF diet, including difficulties in accessing food ingredients, costs, and lack of practical knowledge. These findings indicate the need for more targeted interventions to support parents in overcoming these challenges, including improving the accessibility and affordability of GFSF products and providing educational programs tailored to their specific needs. This study provides important insights for developing effective strategies to support the health and well-being of children with special needs through the GFSF diet.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of financial technology (fintech) strategies in addressing financial inequality and improving access to financial services in Indonesia. Fintech, through innovations like e-wallets, technology-driven lending, and micro-investments, plays a crucial role in promoting financial inclusion, especially for communities underserved by traditional banking systems. By leveraging digital platforms, fintech can offer affordable and accessible financial services to a broader segment of the population, particularly in rural or remote areas where conventional financial institutions have limited reach. The research employs a qualitative approach using a literature review of reports and publications from reputable sources, such as Bank Indonesia, the Financial Services Authority (OJK), and global fintech industry analyses from the past decade. The findings emphasize three key pillars for effectively reducing financial gaps: fostering collaboration between traditional financial institutions and fintech companies, enhancing financial and digital literacy, and strengthening regulatory frameworks and digital infrastructure. Through these strategies, fintech has the potential to drive economic growth, reduce poverty, and promote social welfare. The study concludes that fintech can be a catalyst for creating an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable financial system, thus contributing to Indonesia’s overall development and social well-being. These strategies align with broader efforts to build a more resilient and inclusive economy.
