Abstract

Female labor force participation in East Java Province exhibits fluctuating trends, despite the female population outnumbering the male population. This phenomenon is presumed to be influenced by individual characteristics, particularly age, educational attainment, and marital status. This study aims to examine the effects of age, education, and marital status on female labor force participation in East Java during the 2020–2022 period. A quantitative approach is employed using secondary data obtained from publications of Statistics Indonesia (BPS) East Java. The analysis applies panel data regression, with model selection conducted through the Chow test, Hausman test, and Lagrange Multiplier test, alongside classical assumption tests to ensure model validity. The results indicate that age and education have a positive and significant effect on female labor force participation, while marital status has a significant negative effect. These findings highlight the importance of expanding access to education and implementing gender-equitable policies to enhance women’s participation in the labor market.

Abstract

The Jakarta Composite Index (JCI) is a key indicator of Indonesia’s capital market performance and reflects investor responses to macroeconomic conditions and global uncertainty. Rising market volatility in recent years underscores the urgency of identifying the determinants of IHSG movements. This study aims to examine the effects of macroeconomic variables and geopolitical shocks on the JCI using a quantitative approach with monthly time-series data from January 2015 to May 2025. The analysis employs multiple linear regression based on the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method with robust standard errors. The variables include inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, money supply (M2), gold prices, and geopolitical crisis proxies represented by dummy variables. The results show that macroeconomic factors and geopolitical crises jointly exert a significant influence on JCI fluctuations, with varying impacts across variables. These findings imply that maintaining macroeconomic stability and incorporating global risk considerations are crucial for policymakers and investors in supporting capital market resilience.

Abstract

Stunting remains a chronic nutritional problem with a high prevalence in East Nusa Tenggara Province (NTT). This study aims to analyze the effects of health function expenditure function, female education levels, and protein consumption on stunting prevalence in NTT during the 2017–2023 period using district/city panel data. The results indicate that health function expenditure function and female education have a significant impact on reducing stunting prevalence, while protein consumption does not show a statistically significant partial effect. These findings emphasize that stunting reduction requires effective health service delivery and maternal educational capacity, rather than solely increased nutritional consumption. Optimizing health expenditure function and improving female education are therefore crucial strategies for accelerating stunting reduction in NTT.

Abstract

The buwuh tradition, a Javanese socio-cultural practice rooted in values of mutual cooperation and solidarity, is increasingly challenged by social and economic changes in urban communities, raising concerns about shifts in its original meaning and function. This study aims to examine the transformation of the meaning of the buwuh tradition, its impacts on socio-economic relationships within the community, and the role of social capital in sustaining the tradition while also generating potential functional distortions. This research employs a qualitative approach using a descriptive ethnographic method and was conducted in Lowokwaru Sub District. A total of 41 informants were selected through purposive sampling and snowball sampling techniques. Data were collected through structured interviews, observation, documentation, and literature review, and analyzed using Spradley’s ethnographic analysis model. The findings reveal that the buwuh tradition has shifted from a voluntary contribution to a practice resembling social debt, characterized by the recording of contribution amounts and expectations of reciprocity. This transformation produces dual socio-economic effects: it strengthens social ties and provides financial support, yet simultaneously imposes economic burdens on economically vulnerable groups. Social capital in the form of norms, trust, and social networks continues to sustain the existence of buwuh, but also exhibits an ambivalent nature by potentially generating social and economic pressure. The implications of this study highlight the need for managing social capital values to ensure the sustainability of the buwuh tradition without exacerbating socio-economic inequality.

Abstract

Human resource quality is a crucial factor in regional development, yet Papua Province continues to record the lowest human development performance nationally despite receiving Special Autonomy Funds for more than two decades, highlighting the importance of evaluating fiscal and economic policies. This study aims to analyze the effects of Special Autonomy Funds, education spending, health spending, and per capita GRDP on human resource quality. Grounded in the Capability Approach, Human Capital theory, and Fiscal Federalism, this study employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression for the period 2019–2023. The results show that Special Autonomy Funds and education spending have positive and significant effects on human resource quality, while health spending has no significant effect. Meanwhile, per capita GRDP shows a significant negative effect, indicating that higher income levels have not fully translated into improved welfare. The findings theoretically enrich development and fiscal policy literature and provide practical implications for optimizing fund management and public expenditure allocation.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing human resource development (HRD) in Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries, focusing on the moderating role of government governance. The analysis explores variables such as inflation, foreign direct investment (FDI), GDP, population, unemployment, international trade, and human capital, examining their impact on HRD and institutional quality. Secondary data from trusted sources including the World Bank, UNDP, Our World in Data, and WGI is utilized, covering 50 OIC countries from 2012 to 2021. The research applies Dynamic Panel GMM and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to identify relationships and moderating effects. Findings show that inflation adversely affects the Human Development Index (HDI), while FDI and economic growth positively influence HDI, highlighting the importance of foreign investment in revitalizing OIC economies. Population growth, human capital, and unemployment also play crucial roles in HRD. Furthermore, government governance emerges as a quasi-moderator, underlining its significance in the effective development of human resources. This study emphasizes the importance of addressing inflation, FDI, GDP, unemployment, human capital, and trade policies to foster sustainable HRD, with government governance playing a key supportive role.

Abstract

The buwuh tradition is a form of mutual assistance through giving money or goods at celebrations. Initially perceived as a voluntary gift, buwuh has gradually shifted into a social obligation that is often recorded and treated as a form of debt. Despite rapid social change in urban areas, this tradition continues to persist in Lowokwaru District, Malang City, reflecting strong adherence to local social and cultural norms. This study aims to analyze the role of social capital and behavioral finance, particularly herding behavior, in shaping community participation in the buwuh tradition. The research employs a qualitative approach using Spradley’s ethnographic method. Data were collected through participant observation, structured interviews with community members across several villages in Lowokwaru District, and field documentation. Data analysis followed four ethnographic stages: domain analysis, taxonomic analysis, componential analysis, and cultural theme analysis. The findings reveal that social capital plays a crucial role in sustaining the buwuh tradition through three key elements: norms, beliefs, and social networks. These elements create moral pressure that encourages continued participation. Furthermore, community involvement is strongly influenced by intentional herding behavior, where individuals consciously follow majority practices despite economic burdens to avoid social sanctions and maintain social harmony.

Abstract

The development of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) is a priority in improving the local economy, especially in Malang City. This study aims to analyze the influence of training and mentoring provided by the Malang City Government on increasing the productivity of MSMEs. Using a quantitative descriptive approach and explanatory research, data was obtained through a questionnaire distributed to 100 MSME enterpreneurs and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results show that training, which includes financial management and marketing strategies, as well as mentoring, such as intensive mentoring and access to resources, has a significant positive influence, both partially and simultaneously, on increasing the productivity of MSMEs. This research emphasizes the importance of the government's active role in providing sustainable training and mentoring, in order to increase the competitiveness of MSMEs and their contribution to the economic welfare of the community. The implication of this study is the need to increase the intensity and scope of training and mentoring programs by the government to support the sustainable growth of MSMEs.

Abstract

The demographic bonus, which will peak around 2030, places Banten Province in a critical position as its working-age population grows faster than its labor market capacity. This study analyzes the effects of the productive-age population, GRDP (constant prices), education level, and minimum wage on open unemployment across eight districts/cities in Banten from 2014 to 2024. A panel data regression using the Fixed Effect Model was applied following Chow and Hausman tests. The results show that productive-age population, GRDP, and education reduce unemployment, while minimum wage increases unemployment due to rising labor costs. These findings highlight the need for stronger labor absorption strategies to prevent the demographic bonus from turning into a demographic burden as 2030 approaches.
