Comparison Between Key Success Factors in Safety Behavior in Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs) and Large Industries, and Development of a Hypothetic Model for Safety Behavior in Indonesian SMEs

The distinct characteristic between SMEs and large industries indicates a difference in the Key Success Factor (KSF) in safety behavior that must be considered. The purpose of this article is to identify possible differences in KSF between SMEs and large industries. The identification of KSFs is used to avoid the focal point of attention tocritical elements that is taken into account in efforts to implement safety improvement programs and it is conducted through a literature study. The result of the research shows that there are differences between KSFs in SMEs and large industries, although some KSFs represent the characteristics of both industries. In addition, a hypothetic model of the influence of KSFs to safety behavior in SMEs is proposed. Keywords: key success factors, safety behavior, SME

Assessing the Impact of Indonesian Social Safety Net Programs on Household Welfare and Poverty Dynamics

In early 1998 the government of Indonesia established several social safety net (ssn) programs to help the poor and the newly poor cope with the impact of the impending economic crisis, covering food security, employment creation, education, health, and community empowerment. this article evaluates the impact of these programs on household welfare and poverty, utilizing a panel data set of over 10 thousand households which were visited four times in a 14 month period. the impact of participation in the social safety net programs on household consumption is found to be generally positive. however, only the subsidized rice program appears to have significantly reduced the risk of poverty among participating households

Social Health Insurance for the Poor: Targeting and Impact of Indonesia\u27s Askeskin Program

A first step towards meeting Indonesia\u27s ambition for universal health insurance was made in 2005 with the introduction of the health insurance for the poor (askeskin) program, a subsidized social health insurance targeted on the poor and the informal sector. this scheme covered basic healthcare in public health clinics and hospital inpatient care. in this paper we investigate targeting and impact of the askeskin program using household panel data. we find that the program is indeed targeted on the poor and those most vulnerable to catastrophic out-of-pocket health payments. the public health insurance improves access to healthcare in that it increases utilization of outpatient healthcare among the poor, while out-of-pocket spending seems to have increased for askeskin insured in urban areas. keywords: social health insurance, healthcare utilization, out-of-pocket health payments, targeting, impact evaluation, Indonesia jel classification: g22, h55, i1

Laju Eksploitasi Sumber Daya Ikan Yang Tertangkap Pukat Cincin Di Selat Sunda (Exploitation Rate of Fisheries Resources Which Caught by Purse Seine in Sunda Strait)

Sunda Strait is waters which have great fishery potential in Indonesia. Catches of the Sunda Strait were landed in Pandeglang Regency, one of which is in the Coastal Fishing Port (PPP) Labuan. Purse seine is fishing gear with the highest production in Sunda Strait. Species targets of purse seine are Fringescale sardinella, Mackerel, Short mackerel, Indian mackerel, Kawakawa, and Indian scad. The high price of the fish lead purse seine operation continuously. Increasing purse seine operation can lead to the scarcity fishery resources. Therefore, a study about fish exploitation rate is needed to know the utilization status. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the exploitation rate of multispesies fisheries which caught by purse seine in Sunda Strait based on catch data landed data in PPP Labuan. This study used the ELEFAN I methods and Pauly formula. The result showed that the exploitation rate of fish resources for female and male fringescale sardinella are 0,79 and 0,70; Island mackerel are 0,78 and 0,60; short mackerel are 0,85 and 0,88; Indian mackerel are 0,80 and 0,83; kawakawa are 0,95 and 0,90; Indian scad are 0,75 and 0,62. Nowadays, all fish which caught by purse seine in the Sunda Strait has been indicated to over-exploitation

The Relationship Between Chronic Poverty and Household Dynamics: Evidence From Indonesia

The composition of households frequently change due to births, deaths, divorces, marriages, the departure of children from home, and other compositional changes. consequently, a large number of people undergo some fundamental change in household arrangements during relatively short periods of time. however, using data from Indonesia, this study finds that change in household composition is not a major cause of chronic poverty. similarly, it finds no evidence that households change their composition to cope with negative shocks. nevertheless, the study confirms that the larger the number of household members, the higher the probability that a household is chronically poor. comparing different types of household compositions, households with a single female without children have the lowest probability of being either chronically poor or vulnerable, while single male households with or without children have the highest probability of being vulnerable. frequent changes in household compositions imply that the use of household as the unit of analysis for poverty may undermine, or at least complicate, the conceptualization and measurement of chronic poverty. this also implies that the problem of targeting social protection programs not only relates to implementation, but also has some conceptual roots. keywords: household composition, chronic poverty, social protection, Indonesia jel classification: d10, i32, j1

From Access to Income: Regional and Ethnic Inequality in Indonesia

This study investigates regional and ethnic inequality in Indonesia from five dimensions: access to education and health facilities, education outcome, health outcome, voice, as well as income and consumption. we believe this is the first comprehensive study that looks at ethnic inequality in Indonesia. we find systematic inequality between urban and rural areas, but not between ethnic groups. our results indicate that the voiceless rural areas have been left behind by urban areas that have more voice in every indicator. although we do not establish causation, this finding supports the long-held view inherent among Indonesians. the findings of this study imply that public policy aimed at accelerating rural development is the most effective route to reduce inequality in Indonesia. keywords: health, education, income, voice, inequality, ethnic, regional, urban, Indonesia
