Abstract

Taiwan serves as a main destination for Indonesian females seeking work as migrant live-in care workers. However, being a migrant worker requires efforts to face challenges and difficulties overseas to achieve family well-being. One of them is utilizing social capital. Studies on social capital among migrants tend to be unisex, with a limited focus on women as the main actors. Therefore, it is crucial to examine how these women create and utilize their social capital to fulfill their needs. This paper examines the form of social capital of Indonesian migrant live-in care workers (LCWs) in Taiwan, highlighting their unique characteristics, given the specific nature of their job roles. Using a phenomenological approach, the study involves in-depth research and direct data collection. Data analysis follows a structured process including data reduction, display, verification, and conclusion. This essay finds a new structure in social capital and migration by positioning women as the main actors. It shows that LCWs primarily rely on bonding social capital, forming strong, exclusive friendships often based on geographical proximity, characterized by long-distance and close-distance patterns. Participation in social groups such as pengajian does not enhance LCWs' social capital, resulting in weak ties within bridging social capital. Additionally, LCWs tend to develop stronger relations with their employers, enabling them to access various resources through linking social capital, which differs from bonding and bridging social capital. This essay concludes that LCWs in Taiwan predominantly utilize bonding and linking social capital to achieve their migration expectations.

Abstract

The influence of migration causes the growth of the population in a region. Migration occurs due to imbalances in development, especially in the economic sector. Whereby people migrate to obtain employment due to high wages and job opportunities in the destination area. This research analyzes the factors influencing the population's decision to engage in circular migration to Badung Regency. The analytical tool used is logistic regression analysis, specifically Binary Logistic Regression. The sample consists of 123 respondents. The research results indicate that variables such as wage levels, number of family dependents, gender, activities in the area of origin, distance, age, and squared age collectively and significantly influence the decision of the population to engage in circular migration to Badung Regency.  Partially, the research results show that the number of family dependents, gender, activities in the area of origin, and age significantly positively affect the decision of the population to engage in circular migration to Badung Regency. Meanwhile, wage levels, distance, and squared age significantly negatively affect the population's decision to engage in circular migration to Badung Regency.

Abstract

The study assesses blockchain technology acceptance and diffusion with its resultant impact on microeconomic stability, mediated by financial performance. It highlights blockchain's role in enhancing efficiency, transparency, and security, potentially increasing microeconomic stability. The questionnaires were administered to SME managers on the Indodax exchange platform, grounded in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) framework and Trade-off theory.  Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) used for data analysis to establish the relationship among blockchain acceptance and deployment, financial performance, and microeconomic stability. The results indicated a significant positive consequence of blockchain acceptance and deployment on the financial performance of companies. Financial performance acted as the mediating variable between blockchain acceptance and deployment and microeconomic stability. Managerial implications show that commitment from top leadership, risk management, and stakeholder engagement are crucial for sustainable blockchain acceptance and deployment. This work elaborates on how blockchain technology can strengthen microeconomic stability and improve financial performance by providing practical guidance for organizations. However, it excludes considerations of operational costs, license fees, government regulations, cold chain management integration, demographic diversity, geographic expansion, alternative variables, sustainability, Bitcoin mining, longitudinal data collection, theoretical advantages for SMEs, supply chain efficiency, specific fintech subsectors, interoperability, scalability, macroeconomic variables, or ownership identity impacts. Despite these gaps, this research remains instrumental by providing foundational insights into the beneficial impacts of blockchain technology on financial performance and microeconomic stability, highlighting key areas for future investigation and guiding practice for current and potential adopters.

Abstract

Poverty is a problem that still occurs in many countries, both developed and developing countries. One of the important pieces of information from using microdata is to provide a map of the characteristics of the target households. Characteristics of poor households obtained through analysis of micro poverty data. The data used in this study is IFLS (Indonesian Family Life Survey) 5 data using data from the Provinces of DI Yogyakarta, West Java, Central Java, East Java, DKI Jakarta, and Banten. The variables used are characteristic variables from the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) indicators, namely household health, health insurance, school level, and quality of household life in the form of sanitation, drinking water, electricity, cooking fuel, vehicles, electronics, and savings. This study found that there are differences in poverty calculated by applying monetary and multidimensional poverty. This research shows that monetary (consumption) alone is not enough to explain the deprivation faced by the poor. The low level of education, health, and household quality in the form of drinking water is a concern for the government to evaluate existing programs and policies.

Abstract

This study is based on the development of digital banks that have begun to increase along with the emergence of many digital banks and the increase in the value of digital bank transactions since the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. This study aims to determine the growth pattern of Bank Jago's success which causes several factors to influence stock liquidity, namely company value, stock trading volume and stock trading frequency. The analysis method used is VECM (Vector Error Correction Model), a statistical technique that captures both short-term and long-term dynamics in a system of variables, making it particularly suitable for studying stock liquidity. The data used is monthly data with a time span from January 2020 to December 2023. The results of the VECM estimation test show that the variables of company value, stock trading volume and stock trading frequency have an effect on stock liquidity in the long-run due to the emergence of speculation that digital banks have positive prospects during the Covid-19 pandemic which caused an increase in Bank Jago shares from various aspects and had no effect in the short term due to a decline in investor views and company performance in the period at the end of 2022. The implication of this study can be used to formulate strategies to increase stock liquidity at Bank Jago and can be implemented in other digital banks.

Abstract

A minimum wage policy is essential to maintaining economic stability and encouraging growth. A well-implemented minimum wage can increase employment opportunities and support industrial growth. Therefore, policymakers must consider local economic conditions and industry characteristics when setting minimum wage levels. This study analyzes the implementation process of minimum wage policy in Batu city. In addition, this study also identifies the impact of the policy on worker welfare and economic dynamics and evaluates the challenges and opportunities in implementing the minimum wage policy. This study is qualitative. Data analysis in this study uses a flow model validated through triangulation techniques to ensure accuracy and reliability. The results of this study indicate that 46% of employers comply with the minimum wage policy in Batu City. Workers who receive wages according to the minimum wage positively impact worker welfare; for the MSME category, entrepreneurs in the production and tourism sectors feel that minimum wage changes every year do not affect their ability to pay workers. Therefore, the Batu City government must actively disseminate the minimum wage policy with more optimal supervision.
