Abstract

This study examines the phenomenon of the sandwich generation among adults in Medan City, focusing on how they fulfill their daily needs and manage financial responsibilities. The sandwich generation refers to individuals who simultaneously bear financial obligations for themselves, their parents, and their dependents. This research employs a qualitative approach using in-depth interviews and observations to explore the lived experiences of participants. The findings reveal that individuals within the sandwich generation face significant financial pressure due to rising living costs, multiple family responsibilities, and limited income. In response, they adopt various coping strategies, including strict financial management, seeking additional income sources, and adjusting their lifestyle priorities. Furthermore, financial literacy plays a crucial role in improving financial well-being, as individuals with better financial understanding demonstrate more effective decision-making and long-term planning. This study highlights the importance of strengthening financial literacy and implementing supportive social and economic policies to enhance the welfare of the sandwich generation.

Abstract

Weddings without receptions are a growing trend in society, particularly among the younger generation. This study aims to examine how adolescents in Tebing Tinggi City perceive the trend of weddings without receptions, in terms of their understanding, evaluation, and attitudes. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method, utilizing data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted based on perception theory, which encompasses the stages of selection, organization, and interpretation, as well as the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) theory. The research informants were adolescents in Tebing Tinggi City. The results indicate that adolescents understand weddings without receptions as weddings that only involve the marriage ceremony without a large celebration. They consider such marriages valid both religiously and legally, but they are still often viewed as less acceptable by society because the reception has become a tradition. Knowledge regarding this phenomenon is largely obtained from social media, family, and peers. Most adolescents support marriage without a reception because it is considered simpler and more realistic, and they even state they would choose it in the future. However, social prestige remains the main obstacle to societal acceptance.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of work-life balance and job satisfaction on employee engagement among Generation Z employees in Malang City and to test the moderating role of gender in these relationships. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a survey method involving 400 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The results reveal that both work-life balance and job satisfaction have positive and significant effects on employee engagement. However, gender does not moderate the relationships between work-life balance, job satisfaction, and employee engagement. These findings suggest that employee engagement among Generation Z is primarily driven by work-life balance and job satisfaction rather than gender differences. The study implies that organizations should prioritize human resource policies that promote work-life balance and enhance job satisfaction to strengthen employee engagement, particularly among Generation Z employees in the contemporary work environment

Abstract

This study evaluates the policy framework adopted by Indonesia in safeguarding the rights and welfare of its migrant workers through the lens of human rights-based diplomacy. The inquiry is motivated by the persistent vulnerability of Indonesian migrant workers to various forms of exploitation, including labor abuse, wage theft, contract violations, and human trafficking, despite the considerable economic contributions these workers make through remittance flows to national development. Employing a descriptive-analytical literature review methodology, this research draws on peer-reviewed academic journals, official documents from international organizations, national legislation, and relevant studies in the fields of migration governance and protective diplomacy. The analytical framework integrates three theoretical pillars: the rights-based approach, consular and protective diplomacy theory, and the concept of human security. Findings reveal that Indonesia has undergone a significant paradigm shift in its migration governance, most notably through the enactment of Law Number 18 of 2017, which repositions migrant workers as rights-bearing subjects entitled to comprehensive state protection across all phases of the migration cycle. Additionally, Indonesia has engaged in progressively active bilateral, regional, and multilateral diplomacy to elevate the standards of migrant worker protection in destination countries. Nevertheless, structural challenges persist, including interagency coordination deficits, high rates of non-procedural placement, limited protective capacity in overseas diplomatic missions, and an imbalanced bargaining position relative to receiving states. At the regional and global levels, Indonesian diplomacy continues to encounter constraints arising from the predominantly non-binding character of most international instruments. The study concludes that effective migrant worker protection necessitates deeper integration between domestic policy and multi-level, rights-based diplomacy. Strengthening institutional capacity, harmonizing regulatory frameworks, and optimizing coalition-based diplomacy represent the most strategic pathways toward enhancing the effectiveness of Indonesia's international migrant protection regime.
