Abstract

This study investigates the dual role of tourism performance in shaping income inequality across Indonesia’s 33 provinces from 2014 to 2019. Although the sector’s contribution to the national economy declined during this period, its potential for future growth, particularly through youth-driven innovation, remains significant. Using a dynamic panel GMM approach, we analyze both the short and long-term effects of tourism performance on income inequality, capturing immediate and persistent impacts often overlooked in cross-sectional studies. Our findings reveal that tourism growth exacerbates income inequality in both temporal dimensions, underscoring the need for inclusive policies that engage stakeholders from government and businesses to local communities and youth innovators to ensure tourism becomes a driver of equitable development. As a novel contribution, this study systematically examines the immediate and sustained effects of tourism on wealth distribution while assessing causal relationships between income inequality and key economic indicators, including poverty levels, human development index, population dynamics, and unemployment. These insights advance understanding of the complex interplay between tourism development and socioeconomic disparities in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between food security and poverty depth in Indonesia using provincial panel data from 34 provinces during 2019–2023. Poverty depth is measured using the Poverty Gap Index, while food security is represented by the Food Security Index. Using a fixed effect panel model with cluster robust standard errors, this study finds that food security has a negative but statistically insignificant effect on poverty depth. In contrast, GRDP per capita, unemployment, and social assistance expenditure significantly affect poverty depth. These findings suggest that poverty depth in Indonesia is more strongly associated with labor market conditions, the inclusiveness of economic growth, and social protection responses than with short-term changes in aggregate food security. This study contributes to the literature by shifting the focus from poverty rate to poverty depth and by examining food security as a determinant of the poverty gap at the provincial level. The findings imply that food security policies should be integrated with employment creation, inclusive growth strategies, and regionally adjusted social assistance to reduce poverty depth more effectively.

Abstract

The government's pre-employment card scheme aims to enhance the capabilities of Indonesian workers, making them more competitive and efficient. Simultaneously, it serves as a safety net to alleviate the effects of the Covid-19 crisis. This study seeks to evaluate how the pre-employment card program influences the time taken to prepare for employment and improve skills. The focus is on whether this initiative can decrease the waiting period for job seekers and enhance the skills of the participants. The research utilises the Propensity Score Matching technique and data from the Survei Kerja Nasional in February 2021. The findings suggest that the pre-employment program has a notable positive impact on the skills development of those involved, by 0.08199%. While skill enhancement is evident, the scheme has not led to a reduction in the time it takes for individuals to secure employment. The effectiveness of the program could be enhanced through the implementation of additional policies, including the improvement of labour market information systems and the provision of active employment support services by the government.
