Abstract

The circular economy is an innovative economic model that converts waste into valuable products, while offering substantial benefits for both regional and national economies. This study investigated how the household waste management practices affected environmental degradation and public health using the System Dynamics technique. The study drew on various sources, including mass media, expert opinions, time series data, and scientific publications, to assess the effect of waste on water, air, and public health quality. The findings indicated a link between population growth and the increased waste generation, particularly from the domestic sources. The unmanaged waste poses a threat to air and water quality, while highlighting the need for an improved waste management. A 3R approach (Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle) in the circular economy offers clear environmental and economic benefits, such as the reduced environmental impact, the increased income generation, and the enhanced investment and job creation. Additionally, the circular economy promotes the recycling and green entrepreneurship, while boosting investment and job creation. Collaboration between governments and business owners strengthens local distribution and marketing, enhancing local self-sufficiency. In summary, the adoption of a circular economic model offers substantial and wide-ranging benefits for economies at both the regional and national levels.    JEL Classification: K32; O44; Q50

Abstract

The interplay between occupational class, social status, and education in Indonesia is shaped by multiple forces, including economic changes, traditional social structures, and the growing significance of education in determining social mobility. This research aims to address the role of education and family background on child’s class measured by occupational status. This included measuring the relationship between parents’ education and parent’s occupational class as the family background determinant. The main data used to test the model was secondary data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey wave 1 to 4, allowing us to analyze the social class of father and child pairs, as the subject of this study, with a sample size of 4,035. Through path analysis, the finding shows the indirect pathway, mediated through education, displays a greater influence than the direct pathway. This suggests that education plays a critical role as a mediator in determining occupational status and social mobility. This finding is key to understand the persistent inequities in educational access in Indonesia, where family background continues to have a strong effect on children's educational and occupational outcomes. It suggests that policy interventions targeting educational equity could significantly reduce the impact of family background and promote social mobility. JEL Classification: F68; I25; Z13

Abstract

Community-based mini-grids have emerged as a promising solution to deliver electricity to areas where extending the grid is considered too costly. Such mini-grids utilise locally available resources and are managed by the community, offering a more democratic and inclusive decision-making process. However, such systems’ operational and maintenance costs often burden the community, particularly in cases where electricity demand and financial capacity are low. It poses a significant challenge to the sustainability of mini-grid systems in rural areas. While there is an assumption that access to electricity promotes entrepreneurship among rural communities, evidence from studies exploring the roles of electricity in this topic varies. This research contributes to the debates on the nexus of electricity and rural enterprises focusing on people’s entrepreneurial propensity. By interpreting the general entrepreneurial tendency test (GET2) exercised to electricity beneficiaries in remote rural Indonesia, we observed limited evidence on how electricity promotes entrepreneurship among rural communities. Therefore, we argue that people’s propensity to be entrepreneurs needs to be stimulated holistically rather than merely by providing electricity. JEL Classification: L26; O18; R20

Abstract

The Vision of Golden Indonesia 2045 aims to position Indonesia as a developed country with a per capita income of USD 30300, significantly reduced poverty rates, high competitiveness, and enhanced human capital. Indonesia has immense potential, particularly with its demographic dividend of 128 million workers. Therefore, human capital planning and development is required to achieve high quality performance and productivity.  This article highlights the vital role of the manufacturing sector in driving economic transformation.  The manufacturing industry should be prioritized for boosting human capital, by taking advantage of the demographic dividend.  Suppose that the manufacturing sector will employ 25% of the workforce. In that case, by 2045, this sector will employ 51.8 million workers—an increase of 30.8 million from 20.01 million in 2024.  To enhance human capital within the manufacturing sector, several strategic steps can be taken: (i) implementing education and training programs that align closely with industry needs, (ii) developing infrastructure and the overall manufacturing ecosystem, (iii) improving the quality of human resources in key manufacturing areas, particularly in palm oil, organic basic chemicals from agricultural products, machinery, and automotive spare parts, and (iv) advancing agro-industry to stimulate economic transformation and create job opportunities in the agricultural sector.
