Abstract

Microcredit is a financial instrument designed to improve well-being and reduced poverty rate. It also provides non-economic opportunities particularly in child education. This research aims to analyze the impact of microcredit participation from both formal and informal source on education and child labor in Indonesian Micro-Enterprise Households. This study utilizes data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey 5th wave in 2014/2015 and employs Propensity Score Matching model. The result shows that formal microcredit significantly raises school participation while reducing school gap. However informal microcredit does not show similar benefits on child education. The effect of child labor both from formal and informal microcredit remain inconclusive, highlight the need for further research that account for potential confounding factors. This finding suggests policymakers to prioritize access to formal microcredit especially for micro-enterprise households.

Abstract

The production and application process of organic fertilizers generally requires additional labor compared to chemical fertilizers which are more instantaneous. Diversification of fertilizer use, especially the shift of some farmers to organic fertilizers, is not only driven by ecological considerations, but also by opportunities to increase economic added value that is labor intensive. This study aims to test and measure the extent to which diversification of organic and inorganic fertilizers has an impact on agricultural employment in Central Java. The analytical tools used are Labor Multiplier, Employment Opportunity Elasticity, and Employment Opportunity Growth Rate Calculation. The results of the analysis show that diversification of agricultural inputs in Central Java, especially through increased use of organic fertilizers, has a significant impact on job creation and sustainability of the agricultural sector. Although the allocation of organic fertilizer in the subsidy scheme is still low (around 4%), the trend of increasing adoption by farmers, the surge in certified land area, and the increase in the labor multiplier from 1.08 to 1.10 indicate that this environmentally friendly input has great potential as a labor-intensive lever of the village economy.

Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of Inclusive Green Growth (IGG) and institutions in BRICS countries through descriptive analysis and clustering. Using post-pandemic cross-sectional data, the Inclusive Green Growth Index (IGGI) and Balanced Inclusive Green Growth Index (BIGGI) are calculated based on three pillars: economy, social equity, and environment. The results show that although economic and social performance is quite good, environmental performance is relatively weaker in BRICS countries. BIGGI reveals that economic growth in some countries often exceeds environmental sustainability. In the cluster analysis using hierarchical clustering through Ward's method, three distinct groups of countries were identified.  The first cluster (China, Russia, Brazil, Iran) represents large emerging economies that depend on natural resources with governance and environmental challenges. Group 2 (Ethiopia, Egypt, South Africa, India) consists of developing countries experiencing rapid growth but constrained by social, environmental, and institutional weaknesses. Group 3 (United Arab Emirates) has effective governance and strong social indicators but faces severe environmental pressures and limited democratic performance. This finding highlights the heterogeneity of BRICS Plus in terms of IGG and institutionalism. Environmental and development cooperation within BRICS Plus must adopt strategies tailored to the challenges of each group to ensure progress toward inclusive and sustainable development.
