Gender-Based Development Discourse and Its Impact on Women Informal Workers in Yogyakarta

Gender-based development in its implementation has challenges along with its characteristics, to be specific in efforts to achieve gender equality. Gender discrimination still occurs in Indonesia. It has become a culture in society which increasingly places women in a marginalized position. In this case, gender-based development is one of the main goals of the country’s development, as stated in the 2005-2025 RPJPN. Gender-appropriate roles need to be supported by efforts to optimize the role of women to bring about active participation in the development and eliminate inequality experienced by women. One way to realize gender-based development is through empowering women in informal work. The method used is qualitative, and data collection is carried out through semi-structured interviews and content analysis on media which that refer to the topic. The data is analyzed using the Miles and Huberman models with data reduction, data display, conclusions drawing/ verification, and given recommendations. The results of this study indicate that gender- based development in D.I. Yogyakarta has yet to succeed in reaching the understanding of the community, especially women informal workers

The Effect of Migration on the Domestic Job Market: Evidence from Australia

This paper aims at analysing the relationship between foreign workers and its implication for the domestic job market with Australia as the point of reference. The globalized era pushes every nation to open its market including the job market. This ongoing trend surely causes disruptions in the domestic market. At the same time, the wave of overseas migrant workers fulfills the job sectors which are rarely filled by domestic workers. It can encourage the transfer of knowledge from foreign to domestic laborers. On the other hand, more overseas workers threaten the existence of domestic employers. Australia has been in a dilemma position on this matter. Many foreign workers come in fulfilling the low-level job sectors, such as fruit handpicking, construction, and nursery. At the same time, their presence threatens domestic workers who could perform better in the same field. This especially occurs when they always ask for higher wages which might be irrelevant to the domestic business cycle. In order to analyze this problem, this paper used the quantitative method. The main findings of this paper show that when the government issues policies to encourage employers to spend more on human investment, it improves the work quality of domestic workers more than foreign ones. This suggests/concludes the way government should be protective and selective in securing the domestic job market from overseas migrant workers

Collaborative Governance Process in MSMEs Empowerment through Desa-Preneur Program in Sidoarum Village, Yogyakarta

Rural MSMEs have a small business scale in terms of capital, labor, market orientation, and limited technology adoption so Dinas Koperasi and UKM DIY (Department of Cooperatives and SMEs of the Special Region of Yogyakarta) implement MSMEs empowerment policy through the Desa-Preneur Program. The involvement of various stakeholders has been attempted, but this program has not fully targeted all Sidoarum MSME actors. This study discusses the process of collaborative governance in the implementation of the Desa-Preneur Program in Sidoarum Village, Yogyakarta. The research uses a qualitative descriptive method with primary data obtained from interviews, and secondary data collected through documentation and literature. The result showed that collaborative governance indicators have not been fully implemented. The role of lurah as program leader has not been maximized in carrying out the role as a program leader. Not all MSMEs actors participate in mentoring routinely and village economic institutions have not been formed. Several program achievements have been fulfilled, but still require consistent implementation of learning outcomes. The researchers suggest that village government to have more concern bridging out the provincial government and community in term of Desa-Preneur Program implementation. Institutional strengthening of BUMDes and cooperatives is important as a place of collaboration between stakeholders. Desa-Preneur Program in Sidoarum Village must be synergized with other programs and needs to involve other government institutions that support local MSMEs empowerment

School Information System Innovation by Eduversal through Edunav Implementation in Indonesia: A Case Study at SMP-SMA Kesatuan Bangsa Bilingual Boarding School Yogyakarta

Technological innovation is a science which will continue to develop over time, therefore knowledge, skills, and understanding are needed in life, especially in educational institutions. Many researchers have conducted studies on educational system innovations because the implementation of information systems in educational institutions has made a positive contribution to education management. The existence of an educational information system provides convenience in communicating, exchanging information quickly and accurately, as well as an increase in educational services. This research is based on the implementation of the Edunav Information System as an information system innovation which is applied to educational institutions. Edunav is an application for student progress reports in learning in the form of e-reports. The form of the reported activity from the learning process includes attendance, homework, quizzes, unit tests and so on. This study aims to uncover the factors which drive the Edunav Information System to be implemented and the benefits derived from it at the SMP-SMA Kesatuan Bangsa Bilingual Boarding School Yogyakarta. The method used in this research is a qualitative research method with a case study approach. The data of this research are obtained from in-depth interviews, observation, and literature study. In-depth interviews were conducted with several informants by means of a snowball. The results of this study show that there are several factors which encourage the implementation of the Edunav Information System at the Kesatuan Bangsa School, which are 1) complex problems occur in the field as there is no integrated system; 2) manual data processing which is recorded in books; 3) the existence of school initiatives to make changes from conventional to digital schools by increasing the use of information technology; 4) increasing competitiveness among schools is significant, especially for private schools. The perceived benefits of the Edunav Information System are 1) as an information system for schools, parents, and students; 2) as a media to support education; 3) as a means of control for schools, parents and students

Modeling the Human Development Index Seen from the Aspect of Public Health in East Java

The country should invest in health development to raise the standard of its human resources. The human development index (HDI) of a state can be impacted by health development as determined by the public health development index. Finding a prediction model for HDI in terms of public health development indicators was the aim of this study. The method used here is that for each district and city in East Java Province in 2018, secondary data on HDI and public health development indicators were collected. The Statistics Indonesia and the Health Research and Development Agency provided secondary data. Multiple linear regression analysis was performed on the data using the SPSS 26 program. Results show that the variables of toddler health, reproductive health, health services, health behavior, non-communicable diseases, and environmental health are significantly related to HDI, while the prediction for HDI based on linear regression model of this study is HDI = 44.831 + 20.347* indicators of health service indicators + 42.511* indicators of health behavior – 12.208* indicators of non-communicable diseases. Based on this model, it is necessary to pay more attention to health services, health behavior, and trends in non-communicable diseases in the community in order to increase the HDI rate in East Java Province

Determinants of Migration Flows in Highly Skilled Migrants Interprovince in Indonesia

Migration and regional inequality are two interrelated concepts. Inequality between regions can lead to migration. High-skilled migration, or migration of high-quality human resources, has great potential to reduce interregional disparities by helping development in the destination area. However, in reality, the flow of high-skilled migration tends to lead to more advanced provinces, especially the capital and its surroundings. This condition causes disparities between regions to increase. This study analyzes the phenomenon of internal high-skilled migration between provinces in Indonesia at a macro level using a modified gravity model approach and is estimated using the zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) model. The results of this study show that the number of high-skilled populations in the provinces of origin and destination, geographical distance, average wages for workers, and the percentage of agricultural workers in the destination province, as well as the stock of migrants, influence the flow of high skilled migration between provinces in Indonesia. Increasing workers’ wages, access to transportation and information/social networks, as well as industrialization outside Java, need to be carried out to attract high-skilled migrants or keep high-skilled workers to remain in their provinces to realize equity between regions

Implementation of Exemplary Leadership in the Unit Development in Arhanud 003/ARK Detachment, Cikupa, Tangerang

The leadership role which prioritizes the element of exemplary behavior by the commander is essential in the implementation of unit development at Arhanud 003/ARK Detachment. This is related to unit members who are required to maintain their operational readiness to protect the unit against all increasing air attacks. Quantitative research conducted on all members of the Detachment aims to explore the implementation of Exemplary Leadership through practices (Model the Ways, Challenge the Process, Inspire a Shared Vision, Enable Others to Act, and Encourage the Heart) by the Commander in the unit development at the Arhanud 003/ARK Detachment and knowing the implementation of Exemplary Leadership from these five indicators which are the most influential in unit development at Arhanud 003/ ARK Detachment. Multiple regression analysis using the Stepwise method shows differences in the application of Exemplary Leadership according to Battery A, Battery B, Missile Platoon, and Maintenance Platoon. This condition has an impact on unit development at the Arhanud 003/ARK Detachment. The results of the analysis show that unit development is positively influenced by the implementation of Exemplary Leadership in the practices of Challenge the Process and Encourage the Heart, while other factors (Model the Ways, Inspire a Shared Vision, Enable Others to Act) are not that influential. This is because there are still obstacles and barriers in the unit development at the Arhanud 003/ARK Detachment which require innovative strategies and ideas as well as members who are always optimistic in improving the unit development at the Arhanud 003/ARK Detachment

Expectations of Educational Continuity among Beneficiary Families of the Indonesian Conditional Cash Transfer (PKH): A Case Study in Tabuan Island, Tanggamus Regency

Implemented since 2007, The Indonesian Conditional Cash Transfer (PKH) program aims to alleviate poverty by encouraging education participation among the impoverished. Analyzing the educational expectations of PKH beneficiaries is crucial for program’s impact evaluation. Changes in educational expectations indicate the awareness of poor families to invest in education. Moreover, examining socio-economic impacts on educational expectations offers insights into challenges faced by impoverished families. This study, conducted on Tabuan Island in Tanggamus Regency which is a remote area with inadequate educational facilities, investigates the impact of PKH over 15 years by 2022. Using primary data from two groups: PKH beneficiary families (intervention) and non-PKH families (control) – the research quantitatively compares their educational expectations. Further exploration involves logistic regression tests to examine socio-economic factors’ influence on the intervention group. Results reveal PKH’s positive impact on elevating beneficiary families’ educational expectations. The analysis showed significantly higher educational expectations among PKH families compared to non-PKH families, particularly when excluding other educational assistance. PKH beneficiaries are estimated to be 10,269 times more likely to expect their children to graduate from college than non-PKH families. Internet access in the last 3 months, and participation in P2K2 counseling, have a positive impact on the PKH beneficiary families’ educational expectations. This highlights the importance of positive educational information and the potential of information technology in supporting their children’s education. However, it is concerning that despite having high expectations, families receiving PKH on Tabuan Island face challenges in ensuring their children’s access to college education

Migration During COVID-19 Pandemic in Industrial City: Case in Batam City, Indonesia

COVID-19 is a disease which has spread throughout the entire world and was announced as a pandemic as it infects individuals through air. As a result, policies regarding mobility and health protocols were implemented. Cities and regencies in Riau Islands act as the entrance gate to Indonesia from other countries due to its strategic locations thus migration became a very concerning thing, especially in Batam, a successful city in industry, commerce, and tourism. This study aims to identify the migration flow to and from Batam City to other regions in Riau Islands Province. This research used quantitative methods and data of people who switched domiciles from and to Batam in the scope of Riau Islands Province provided by the Population and Civil Registration Service of Batam City. After being analyzed descriptively, this study shows the number of migrants in and out of Batam fluctuated throughout 2019- 2021. The destinations and origins of migrants varied and show that distant regions were less demanded. This is due to the limited access and implementation of the mobility policies implemented during COVID-19. Reasons to migrate mostly are for work with a percentage around 16.5 to 22.7 percent and family with a percentage around 12 to 17.6 percent. However, around half of the migrants from 2019 to 2021 chose “Others” with no further specifications from the data provided
