Abstract

This study examines the effects of informal employment and gender inequality on multidimensional poverty in East Java through the lens of the Capability Approach. Using 2024 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas) data covering 32,605 households (weighted to represent 11.2 million households), multidimensional poverty was measured with the Alkire-Foster method across eight indicators in education, health, and living standards. The findings reveal that 27.9% of households are multidimensionally poor, with an average deprivation intensity of 43.3% and an Adjusted Headcount Ratio (M0) of 0.121. Binary logistic regression shows that households with informal-sector heads are 2,1% more likely to fall into multidimensional poverty than those with formal-sector heads, while female-headed households face a 1.5% higher likelihood compared to male-headed households. These results indicate that multidimensional poverty in East Java is driven not only by demographic characteristics but also by structural labor market conditions and gender-based disparities. The study underscores the need for poverty alleviation strategies that address the vulnerabilities of informal workers and promote gender equality as integral components of inclusive development.

Abstract

The phenomenon of the flypaper effect is a topic that often receives significant attention in the context of regional finance. Issues regarding the level of regional financial independence are suspected to contribute to the existence of this phenomenon. This study aims to examine how the flypaper effect occurs and its impact on poverty through a comparison of regions classified by their level of financial independence during the period of 2015-2024 using path analysis methods. The results of this study demonstrate that in regions with low financial independence, the flypaper effect is present, whereas this phenomenon is not observed in regions with high financial independence. Furthermore, regional expenditures in both classifications fail to mediate the effect on poverty. Therefore, various reforms are necessary to prevent the occurrence of the flypaper effect and to improve the quality of regional spending towards a more ideal direction.

Abstract

Unemployment is one of the macroeconomic problems that is very difficult to overcome. In the period 2018 to 2023, the open unemployment rate in East Java Province soared due to the Covid-19 outbreak. In 2023, the open unemployment rate in East Java decreased. Despite the decrease from the previous year, the unemployment rate in East Java is still far from the ideal level. This is caused by various factors, such as the high growth of the labor force, the mismatch of skills with the needs of the job market, and others. This study aims to analyze the causes of the high unemployment rate in East Java Province and the efforts to overcome it. The data used is secondary data of 38 districts/cities in East Java Province which is then processed with panel data regression analysis method. The analysis shows that demographic transition and number of industries have a significant negative effect on unemployment in East Java. In contrast, education has a positive and significant effect on unemployment. This shows that the potential demographic bonus in East Java is well realized, especially when the labor market can absorb the growth of the labor force. Meanwhile, the high average length of schooling does not necessarily reflect the quality of educators or the suitability with the needs of the labor market.

Abstract

This study examines the sociodemographic determinants of women's participation in the gig economy in East Java Province. It aims to analyze the extent to which marital status, education level, residential area classification, generational background, and poverty status influence women's involvement in the gig economy. Using a quantitative method with a binary logistic regression approach, data were obtained from the March 2024 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas). The results show that being married, having a low education, living in rural areas, being from Gen Z, and being poor significantly reduce women's chances of engaging in the gig economy. Conversely, women from Generation X and millennials, high school graduates, and those living in urban areas tend to have a greater chance of engaging in the gig economy labor market. Meanwhile, women with a college education have no significant impact. These findings contribute to the development of employment policies that are responsive to structural inequalities in the digital informal labor market.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effects of the gender development index, human development index, female labor force participation rate, and economic growth on poverty levels in regencies and cities in East Java during the 2020-2024 period. Secondary time-series data obtained from Statistics Indonesia were analyzed using panel data regression with a fixed effect model. The results show that the gender development index and the female labor force participation rate have a negative and significant effect on poverty levels, indicating that improvements in gender equality play an important role in reducing poverty. Furthermore, the human development index and economic growth do not show a significant effect. These findings indicate that poverty reduction is not determined solely by economic growth, but also by the expansion of women’s capabilities and economic participation. The results of this study emphasize the importance of gender-responsive development policies in regional poverty alleviation efforts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of agricultural sector wages, agricultural land area, agricultural mechanization, and manufacturing sector wages on labor absorption in the agricultural sector in Indonesia. This research uses secondary data with panel data regression analysis methods thru multiple linear regression techniques. Data were obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) and the Ministry of Agriculture, with and observation period from 2020-2024 using 34 provinces in Indonesia, and were processed using E-Views 10 software. The results of this study indicate that agricultural sector wages and agricultural land area have a positive and significant impact on labor absorption in the agricultural sector. Conversely, manufacturing sector wages have a negative and significant impact, reflecting a shift in labor from the agricultural sector to the manufacturing sector. Meanwhile, agricultural mechanization had a negative but non-significant impact on labor absorption in the agricultural sector, indicating that technology utilization was not yet optimal. These findings have implication for wage policies and agricultural land management, which play an important role in maintaining the sustainability of the agricultural workforce, as well as the need for technology development that is more adaptable to the characteristics of the agricultural workforce in Indonesia.

Abstract

Female labor absorption is an important indicator of inclusive economic development; however, in West Java Province, a gap remains between the large number of women of working age and the level of their absorption in the labor market. This study aims to analyze the effects of the female working-age population, education as measured by average years of schooling, and the minimum wage on female labor absorption in West Java Province during the 2019–2023 period. This research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression methods across 27 regencies and municipalities. The data used are secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency and regulations on district and municipal minimum wage determination. The results indicate that the female working-age population has a positive and significant effect on female labor absorption, while education, the minimum wage, and the Covid-19 pandemic conditions do not have a significant effect. These findings suggest that the increase in the female population is a key factor driving female labor absorption. This study contributes to the literature on female employment and provides policy implications for local governments in formulating strategies for job creation and the sustainable improvement of female human resource quality.

Abstract

Poverty remains a challenge both globally and locally, including in Indonesia, where Central Java ranks second after Yogyakarta. This condition is influenced by regional development disparities and limited fiscal capacity. The government seeks to address these issue by strengthening regional financial instruments such as intergovernmental transfers, village funds, and fiscal independence. Data on the realization of intergovernmental transfers and village funds in Central Java regencies for period 2017-2024 indicate optimal absorption, however poverty levels remain high. Moreover, non-fiscal factors, particularly the Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR), play an important role in alleviating poverty by enhancing productivity and overall community welfare. This study adopts a quantitative causal approach using secondary data obtained from DJPK and BPS. Panel data regression is employed as the analytical technique, with model selection conducted through the Chow Test, Hausman Test, and Lagrange Multiplier Test. The regression results are further assessed using the t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. Based on relevant theories and previous empirical studies, this research hypothesizes that all independent variables have a negative and statistically significant on poverty levels.

Abstract

Human Development Index (HDI) disparities across regions remain a critical development issue in East Java, Indonesia, particularly among districts with limited fiscal capacity and uneven access to basic services. This study aims to examine the effects of fiscal factors, access to safe drinking water, and non-food consumption on HDI in 19 districts of East Java during the 2015–2023 period. The research employs a quantitative associative approach using panel data regression analysis. The Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is selected as the most appropriate estimation technique based on the Chow and Hausman tests. The results indicate that Local Own-Source Revenue (LOSR), Special Allocation Funds (SAF), health expenditure, access to safe drinking water, and non-food consumption expenditure have a positive and significant effect on HDI. In contrast, education expenditure shows a positive but statistically insignificant effect, suggesting inefficiencies in budget allocation. Simultaneously, all variables significantly influence HDI, with strong explanatory power. These findings imply that strengthening regional fiscal capacity, improving the effectiveness of public spending, expanding access to basic services, and enhancing household welfare are essential to achieving sustainable and equitable human development.

Abstract

Urban poverty remains a persistent structural challenge, particularly amid increasing population mobility and unequal access to economic resources. This study examines the role of migration, access to capital, and household characteristics in shaping household poverty in Malang City. Using data from the 2024 National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas), this research applies a quantitative approach with binary logistic regression to 830 household observations. The analysis incorporates migration status, access to capital, number of dependents, educational attainment, and employment status as key explanatory variables. The estimation results indicate that migration, access to capital, higher education, and formal employment are associated with a lower probability of household poverty, while a greater number of dependents significantly increases poverty risk. These findings highlight the importance of economic capacity and demographic characteristics in determining urban poverty vulnerability. The study underscores the need for targeted urban poverty reduction policies that emphasize expanded access to capital, workforce quality improvement, and enhanced support for households facing high dependency burdens.
