Abstract

The use of reusable bags has been proven to reduce the volume of single-use plastic waste (SUPB). This study analyzes the Willingness to Pay (WTP) and the factors that affect WTP for the use of reusable bags when going shopping at Chatime Soehat Corner, Malang City. The research methods used are descriptive analysis, Contingent Valuation Method (CVM), and binary logistic regression, with data collection was done by distributing questionnaires. The results of the descriptive analysis show that the majority of respondents are female, aged 20–30, with an income of less than Rp 1,500,000, and are unemployed. The WTP values obtained through CVM analysis revealed that the majority of respondents chose Rp 2,000 as the maximum price, with an average resulting in Rp 3,935. In other words, the factors significantly affecting WTP are price perception and consumer lifestyle, while income and knowledge do not have a significant effect. The implications of this study reveal consumers' willingness to pay more for reusable bags, which can be utilized by the government and business actors to support sustainable industries. By implementing reusable bags as a replacement for Single-Use Plastic Bags (SUPB), this policy can lead to a reduction in plastic waste.

Abstract

The property and real estate sector in Indonesia is highly capital-intensive and vulnerable to financial instability, making the early identification of financial distress crucial for corporate sustainability. This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability (ROA), liquidity (CR), leverage (DER), free cash flow (FCF), and firm size (Total Assets) on the level of financial distress in property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2018–2024 period. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression with the Random Effect Model (REM) and robust standard errors, based on a sample of 17 companies over seven years. The analysis uses a modified Z-Score formula as an indicator of financial distress. The findings reveal that CR and FCF have a positive and significant effect on the Z-Score, indicating stronger financial resilience, while DER and firm size significantly reduce the Z-Score, suggesting a higher risk of financial distress. ROA does not show a statistically significant influence. These results highlight the critical role of liquidity and free cash flow in maintaining financial health, while excessive leverage and scale can amplify financial risk. The study implies that firms must strengthen their asset management and capital structure to mitigate distress and enhance long-term viability.

Abstract

Human resources are pivotal in driving economic development. However, Indonesia continues to face significant challenges in its labor sector. East Java ranks as the province with the second-highest unemployment rate in the country, highlighting the persistent issue of insufficient labor absorption. Various factors contribute to this phenomenon. This research investigates the impact of economic growth, population dynamics, education levels, and wage rates on labor absorption in East Java 2014 to 2023. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the study relies on secondary data provided by the Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS). The analysis is conducted using panel data regression through a series of steps, including model selection, classical assumption testing, and significance evaluation. The results demonstrate that economic growth, population size, education, and wages significantly and positively influence labor absorption in East Java during the observed period.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of the Human Development Index (HDI) and investment on sustainable economic growth in Indonesia from 2019 to 2023. The research employs a quantitative approach using panel data analysis from 34 provinces in Indonesia. It also includes two control variables—namely the Open Unemployment Rate and Regional Government Expenditure Budget—to assess their effects on the Environmental Quality Index as an indicator of sustainable economic growth. The findings reveal that the HDI, measured through Life Expectancy and Average Years of Schooling, has a positive and significant impact on sustainable economic growth. However, investment—represented by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Domestic Investment (DI)—does not show a significant effect. Interestingly, the Open Unemployment Rate has a positive influence, which contradicts theoretical expectations, while the Regional Government Budget (APBD) has no meaningful impact. These results underscore the importance of improving human resource quality to support sustainable economic development, as well as the need to reassess investment direction and regional budget management.un

Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI), developed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), serves as a key indicator for measuring the well-being of a population. Between 2010 and 2022, HDI levels in eight ASEAN countries experienced notable improvements. However, significant disparities remain among developing nations within the region. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing HDI, namely Gross Domestic Product (GDP), unemployment rate, foreign direct investment (FDI), and exchange rate. The research employs an associative approach using panel data regression analysis on eight developing ASEAN countries Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, the Philippines, Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia over a 13-year period from 2010 to 2022. This is a quantitative study applying the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) approach. The findings indicate that GDP and the unemployment rate have a significant positive impact on human development. In addition, both FDI and the exchange rate also exhibit a significant positive influence on HDI. These results highlight the importance of macroeconomic and investment-related factors in promoting human development across developing ASEAN economies.

Abstract

The creative economy contributed IDR 1.53 trillion to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2024, employing approximately 26.5 million people. However, the average monthly income of freelancers in East Java remained low at IDR 1.4 million in 2024, significantly below the provincial minimum wage (UMP) of IDR 2.1 million (BPS, 2025). This indicates a gap between the potential and the reality of the digital labor market. This study aims to analyze the influence of competence, social capital, market conditions, job characteristics, and digital technology on income variation among freelancers in the Millennial Job Center (MJC) program. A quantitative approach using ordinal logistic regression was applied, based on responses from 288 MJC freelancers across five administrative regions (Bakorwil) in East Java. The analysis reveals that competence and market conditions have a positive and significant effect on freelancer income, while social capital, job characteristics, and technology utilization do not show a significant impact. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening competence and improving freelancer competitiveness through training, cross-sector collaboration, and government policy support.

Abstract

In a strategic effort to fully realize the potential of its demographic bonus, Indonesia is committed to the qualitative enhancement of its young populace by creating expansive opportunities in employment, education, and skill development. This initiative is directly aligned with SDGs Target 8.6, which aims to reduce the proportion of youth who are Not in Employment, Education, or Training (NEET). Although extensive research on NEET has been conducted, there has been no specific study identifying the sociodemographic determinants of NEET in Maluku Province, which had the highest percentage in Indonesia in 2023. This study aims to fill that gap by using secondary data from the August 2023 National Labor Force Survey. The analysis was conducted using binary logistic regression, examining the relationship between NEET status as the dependent variable and independent variables such as age, gender, marital status, disability, education level, regional classification, and migrant status. The results indicate that individuals aged 20-24, females, those with a history of marriage, persons with disabilities, those with senior high school education or higher, and those living in rural areas have a greater probability of being NEET. Conversely, migrant youth show a lower tendency to fall into this category. These findings are expected to serve as a basis for the Maluku Provincial Government in formulating more targeted policies to increase the participation of young people.
