Abstract

The right to health can be fulfilled by eliminating the threat of stunting, which is primarily influenced by two major variables, poverty and the low level of education among women aged over 15. This paper analyzes the relationship between poverty, the duration of women’s education, and the prevalence of stunting in Riau Province. Women’s formal education has proven to play a critical role in reducing stunting rates by enhancing knowledge about nutrition and health. Poverty which entraps families becomes the main barrier to accessing education. A qualitative research method was employed, with data gathered through interviews, literature reviews, journals, and relevant media sources. The results indicate that basic literacy and numeracy skills acquired by women in school increase their awareness and capacity to prevent and manage stunting, thereby positively impacting the future of their children.

Abstract

This study examines the demographic profile and policy implications concerning female-headed households in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using a descriptive quantitative approach based on secondary data from the 2023 Population Administration Database, the analysis employed frequency distributions, percentage breakdowns, and simple visualizations to profile socio-demographic characteristics and spatial variations across districts. The analysis reveals that the majority of female household heads are elderly (57% aged 60 years and above), have low educational attainment (42.8% completed only primary school or less), and are engaged in informal or subsistence employment (over 67% work in unpaid domestic work, farming, or casual labor). These patterns suggest heightened socio-economic vulnerability and limited access to formal support systems. The study integrates insights from recent international literature, emphasizing the importance of psychological empowerment, adult education, and economic inclusion in improving the quality of life for female heads of households. Based on these findings, the study proposes region-specific policy recommendations focused on skill development, access to formal employment, expanded adult education, community-based psychosocial support, and inclusive social protection. This paper contributes to the growing body of literature on gender and household dynamics by offering a localized, data-driven analysis and proposing holistic policy interventions that respond to the unique socio-demographic realities of female-headed households in SPecial Region of Yogyakarta. The results aim to inform policy strategies that promote social equity and sustainable regional development.

Abstract

Social protection for Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMWs) is a critical topic concerning the rights and welfare of migrant workers. This page covers different areas of social protection for IMW, including pre-departure planning, work in the target country, and reintegration upon return to the motherland. According to Law No. 18/2017, social protection is divided into three major stages that coincide with Maslow's hierarchy of needs theory. Although bilateral agreements with nations such as Hong Kong and Japan have had a favorable impact, issues in socialization, cross-country coordination, and monitoring in destination countries remain considerable. This study found that many IMWs are still uninformed of their rights, notably with Social Security Agency for Employment, due to a lack of information and access to adequate services. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of Maslow’s hierarchy with a policy-oriented framework for migrant worker protection, offering a fresh analytical lens to assess unmet needs at each migration stage. Recommendations include enhancing socialization, strengthening bilateral and international cooperation, digitizing services, enforcing stricter oversight, and improving reintegration and economic empowerment programs. These measures are expected to strengthen social protection for IMWs and ensure their welfare abroad.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of collaborative leadership in the effectiveness of the 2025 Eid Transportation Post at Hunimua Ferry Port, Central Maluku. In the face of complex challenges such as high traffic volume, limited infrastructure, and cross-agency operational demands, this research adopts a qualitative embedded single case study design. Data was collected through in-depth interviews, direct observations, and institutional document analysis. Findings reveal that the success of the post is closely linked to leadership figures who perform three collaborative functions: steward (ensuring inclusive and transparent coordination), mediator (managing inter-agency relationships and resolving conflicts), and catalyst (driving adaptive innovation and cross-sector mobilization). These roles were effectively carried out by the Post Team Leader and the Post Manager, despite minimal institutional protocols. The prevailing leadership style identified was that of an organic leader, which fostered responsive coordination through informal networks. However, the absence of formal facilitation systems and integrated SOPs limits the institutionalization of collaboration. The study recommends the development of a hybrid leadership style that combines relational legitimacy with professional facilitation to ensure sustainable cross-agency coordination. This research contributes to the theoretical development of collaborative governance in the context of transport services and provides practical insights for institutional reform of temporary integrated command posts.

Abstract

Maternal complications remain a critical challenge in Indonesia, where progress toward the SDGs target of reducing maternal mortality has been slow. This study investigates how education and the absence of health insurance shape complication risks. Using nationally representative data from the IFLS (2014/15), we analyzed 6,156 women’s last pregnancies across 20 provinces. Multilevel logistic regression models were estimated, with predictive margins used to explore education with parity and insurance interactions. Women with primary or less education had significantly higher odds of complications than those with post-secondary education (OR=1.41, 95% CI). Predictive margins revealed that education reduced risks at higher parities, while first births carried elevated risks across all education groups. Insurance effects were uneven: women covered by government schemes (JKN, Jampersal) had greater odds of complications (OR=1.32 and OR=1.36), while those with employer/private insurance showed lower risks (OR=0.61). Older maternal age (≥35 years) increased risks, whereas antenatal care visits did not show a consistent protective effect.  These findings emphasized that education and health insurance remain crucial for maternal complications in Indonesia. Policies should therefore prioritize first-time and high-parity mothers with low education, while also strengthening JKN to deliver equitable services, so that women without private insurance are not systematically disadvantaged.

Abstract

Sexual education is the education to understand about cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and the sexual development of individuals to gain and accept different roles that correlates with sexual health, sexual activity, and sexual identity. The problem of this research is the increasing number of sex before marriage case in Indonesia. It is discovered that the number of male adolescent that have done sex before marriage is higher than that of female adolescent. Sexual education is known to lower the number of sex before marriage but a new problem emerges when parents, specifically fathers refuse to give sexual education to their male adolescent. This research has the purpose to know the reason and the communication barrier that makes fathers not want to give their male adolescent sexual education. This research is using a descriptive qualitative approach using the case study method from Stake (1995). Research is also using an in-depth-interview to gain data. The result of this research is that fathers who already gave their male adolescent sexual education is known to almost always communicate interpersonally with their male adolescent. Meanwhile, the fathers that hasn’t given sexual education is known to rarely communicate interpersonally with their male adolescent. The conclusion of this research is that interpersonal communication is very important to deepen the bonds between father and male adolescent and depending on their relationship, fathers will have an easier time explaining sexual education to their male adolescent.

Abstract

This study addresses the growing demographic transition in peri-urban Indonesia, where changing socio-economic conditions increasingly shape fertility behaviour yet remain underexplored from women’s subjective perspectives. It examines how young mothers construct their perceptions of ideal family size and make fertility decisions in Depok Subdistrict, Sleman Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research involved married women aged 20–35 years with one or two children. Data were collected through in-depth interviews in Condongcatur and Maguwoharjo villages and analysed thematically.Findings indicate that most respondents perceive two children as the ideal family size, driven primarily by economic considerations, aspirations for quality childcare, and the need to balance reproductive and productive roles. Contextual variations arise from gender composition preferences and emotional motivations such as sibling companionship. Fertility decisions are influenced by household economic conditions, educational attainment, employment status, and the perceived function of family planning as a birth-spacing mechanism rather than a family-size determinant. Social pressure from extended families remains limited.This study contributes novel qualitative evidence on fertility norm internalisation in peri-urban contexts, highlighting how economic rationality increasingly replaces traditional pronatalist influences in shaping reproductive choices. It offers policy-relevant insights for context-sensitive family planning interventions.

Abstract

The viral social media phenomenon #KaburAjaDulu reflects high migration intentions among Indonesian Generation Z (aged 19–28) seeking better lives and career opportunities abroad. This phenomenon poses a potential brain drain issue that could impede the realization of the Golden Indonesia 2045 Vision. Therefore, this study addresses a fundamental research question: Does national resilience significantly influence Generation Z's migration intention, and how is this dynamic explained within the Theory of Planned Behavior framework?. In this context, national resilience is conceptualized as a nation's collective capacity to foster stability and optimism in facing adversity, thereby strengthening citizens' trust in their country's future. This research employs a non-experimental quantitative approach with a simple correlational design. The study subjects comprised 365 Generation Z respondents in Indonesia engaged with the trend, selected via accidental sampling. Data were collected using the National Resilience Scale (NR-13) and the Intention to Emigrate Scale. The hypothesis was tested using simple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that national resilience significantly reduces migration intention. This study demonstrates that national resilience is a crucial factor influencing decisions to migrate. Low levels of nationalism, unity, and trust in public institutions tend to increase migration intention. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening national resilience to retain quality human capital in Indonesia.

Abstract

Simpson’s probability-based diversity index has been widely used in many fields of study (e.g., ecology, economics, and social sciences). However, it has long been criticized for the lack of clear understanding of what is being measured. To address such a concern, the purpose of this study was to explain how Simpson’s probability-based diversity index can be formulated into an interaction-based diversity index (i.e., Lieberson’s interaction-based diversity index) and to highlight the importance of interpretability and decomposability in the measurement of diversity. Population estimates by race and ethnicity in the District of Columbia were used to demonstrate these points. Therefore, population diversity by sociodemographic groups may be conceived as the extent of interaction among two or more mutually exclusive groups. While further considerations are needed for Lieberson’s interaction-based diversity index to be effective in capturing the distributional pattern of population diversity in geographic space (e.g., handling different population sizes and incorporating spatial information), it may provide a new avenue for moving beyond the probabilistic meaning of diversity and for quantifying population diversity by majority or minority groups and/or by different combinations of majority or minority groups (e.g., two-group diversity, three-group diversity, and four-group diversity).

Abstract

With development and social change, spatial homogamy—the tendency to marry someone from the same area of origin—is expected to decline. In Indonesia, this phenomenon remains under-examined, and little is known about how young adults perceive it. This article explores patterns of spatial homogamy and the extent to which socio-spatial identities shape partner choice and marriage aspirations among young people in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Using the 2010 Population Census, we identify patterns and correlates of spatial homogamy defined as marriage within the same birth district. Guided by these results, we selected two contrasting sites with high and low homogamy levels and conducted in‑depth interviews and focus groups with 34 young people (aged 16–30) in 2019. Spatial homogamy was lowest in Yogyakarta City (39.5% of married couples) and highest in rural Gunung Kidul (89.9%). Younger age, higher education, and urban residence were associated with a lower likelihood of marrying within one’s district. Rural youth framed mobility as a way to move beyond marrying someone from the same village, while urban participants prioritised shared values and visions over geographic origin. Still, socio-spatial identities influenced partner choice across both contexts. Socio-spatial identities continue to shape partner choice and marriage aspirations even as education and mobility diversify partner pools, weakening—but not erasing— locality-based ties and preferences.
