Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of socioeconomic characteristics on the opportunities for working-age women to work in the informal sector in West Sumatra Province. The approach used is quantitative with a logistic regression method, based on secondary data from the 2020 National Socioeconomic Survey (SUSENAS) published by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The independent variables described include age, marital status, poverty status, education level, and area of residence. The estimation results show that every additional year of working-age women's age significantly increases the opportunity to work in the informal sector. In addition, marital status, coming from a poor household, having an education lower than high school, and living in a rural area also significantly increase the likelihood of women working in the informal sector. These findings emphasize the importance of policy interventions focused on improving access to education, economic empowerment, and equitable regional development to reduce gender inequality in the informal employment sector in West Sumatra. Keywords: informal sector, female labor, socioeconomic characteristics, logistic regression, West Sumatra.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of public infrastructure on economic growth in Indonesia from 2019 to 2023. The approach used is quantitative with a panel data regression method, utilizing secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The public infrastructure variables analyzed include road length, electricity access, internet access, and educational facilities in 34 provinces. The estimation results show that all public infrastructure variables simultaneously have a significant influence on GRDP per capita. Partially, road length and internet access are proven to have a significant influence on GRDP per capita, indicating that both variables play a role in increasing economic efficiency such as facilitating the distribution of goods and services, and encouraging digital economic activities. Meanwhile, the variables of electricity access and educational facilities (classrooms) do not have a significant effect on GRDP per capita. Although the coefficient of determination in this study is relatively low at 7.76%, this finding confirms that road and internet infrastructure are the driving force of national economic growth. The results of this study highlight the importance of policies in equitable infrastructure development between regions as a foundation for driving long-term economic growth.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the family Hope Program (PKH) as from of government social assistance on household consumption expenditure patterns in Indonesia. The approach used is the Quadratic Almost Ideal System (QUAIDS) with the Three-Stage Least Squares (3SLS) estimation technique, using the 2020 National Socio-Economic Survey (SUSENAS) data. The estimation results show that government assistance encourages a crowding in effect in the structure of household consumption, which is reflected in an increase in the proportion of expenditure on categories such as food, education, lighting fuel, and other expenditures. This effect indicates that social assistance acts as an instrument that strengthens the purchasing power of poor households while allowing budget reallocation to priority sectors that were previously neglected. In contrast, the proportion of expenditure on commodities that are flexible or can be postponed, such as transportation, durable goods, entertainment, and clothing, tends to decrease. These findings reinforce the role of social assistance programs in increasing welfare and improving the quality of consumption of vulnerable households.

Abstract

Unemployment is one of the most crucial labor market issues in Indonesia, particularly among young people and higher education graduates. This study aims to analyze the effects of the proportion of young population, higher education attainment, and technological skills on the unemployment rate in Indonesia, while considering minimum wages, labor force participation rate (LFPR), and economic growth as control variables. The method employed is panel data regression with a fixed effect model, based on secondary data from 34 provinces in Indonesia over the period 2018–2024. The results indicate that the young population, higher education attainment, and technological skills have a positive and significant effect on the unemployment rate. Conversely, minimum wages, LFPR, and economic growth have a negative and significant effect on unemployment. These findings suggest that the increasing number of young people and participation in higher education have not been matched by labor market readiness. Therefore, more responsive policies are needed to align education and job training with industry demands in order to reduce unemployment rates.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of social assistance expenditure, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), health measured by Life Expectancy (LE), and unemployment measured by the Open Unemployment Rate (OUR) on poverty levels in Aceh Province during the 2014–2023 period. Poverty levels were measured using the percentage of the poor population as the main indicator. The method employed was panel data regression analysis. The results indicate that social assistance expenditure has a positive but insignificant effect on poverty. GRDP and health have a negative and significant effect, indicating that improvements in GRDP and life expectancy can significantly reduce poverty levels. Meanwhile, unemployment has a positive but insignificant effect on poverty. These findings highlight that the health sector has the most effective role in reducing poverty compared to other variables.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determinants of employment opportunities in West Sumatra Province during the period 2017 to 2023. The approach used is quantitative, employing panel data regression methods and utilizing secondary data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The variables analyzed include economic growth, education level, wages, and investment across 19 regencies/cities in West Sumatra Province. The estimation results show that simultaneously, economic growth, education level, wages, and investment collectively influence the increase in employment opportunities. Partially, economic growth has a positive and significant effect on increasing employment opportunities. Conversely, the education level shows a positive but not significant effect, while wages have a negative effect, and investment has a positive but not significant effect on employment opportunities. These findings indicate that economic growth plays a crucial role in generating employment opportunities, whereas the other variables have not yet demonstrated a strong contribution. Therefore, active government involvement is required to enhance employment opportunities, including through labor-intensive sectors that can absorb a large workforce.

Abstract

This study aims to analyzes the monetary policy transmission mechanism through the expectations channel in influencing inflation in Indonesia, based on the premise that uncontrolled inflation can erode purchasing power, hinder investment, and slow economic growth. The study employs quarterly secondary data for the 2006–2023 period obtained from the Economic and Financial Statistics of Indonesia (SEKI) and the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), covering the policy interest rate (BI-Rate), inflation expectations, exchange rate, Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and inflation. The analytical method used is the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM), preceded by the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) stationarity test, optimal lag selection, Johansen cointegration test, Granger causality test, and Impulse Response Function (IRF) analysis. The results indicate that all variables are non-stationary at level but become stationary at first difference, and a long-run cointegration relationship exists, validating the application of VECM. In the long run, the BI-Rate, inflation expectations, and exchange rate significantly affect inflation, while GDP is insignificant. In the short run, a bidirectional causal relationship is found between the exchange rate and inflation expectations. The IRF analysis reveals that monetary policy shocks influence inflation with a certain time lag. The study concludes that policy credibility and effective communication are crucial in strengthening the effectiveness of the expectations channel in controlling inflation. It is recommended that Bank Indonesia enhance policy transparency and public economic literacy to strengthen public confidence in achieving inflation targets.Keywords: Monetary Policy Transmission, Inflation Expectations, Exchange Rate, GDP, Inflation, VECM
