Exploring Local Labor Markets and Knowledge Spillover from a Spatial Perspective

Relevance. Cities serve as vital hubs for socioeconomic activities, fostering convergence in local labor markets characterized by high productivity, premium wages, and knowledge spillover. Jakarta Metropolitan, as Indonesia's economic center, embodies these advantages, prompting the need for a spatial investigation of their regional association.Research Objective. This study examines the unique attributes of the labor market in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area. The analysis encompasses anomalies such as the impact of premium wages on local labor productivity and the influence of education levels, as a proxy for knowledge spillover, on urban labor productivity.Data and Methods. Utilizing microdata from Sakernas and macrodata from BPS for 2017-2019, this study offers a comprehensive analysis of the Jakarta Metropolitan Area. By synthesizing cross-level data, the intricate interplay between productivity, wages, and area size becomes evident, particularly the tendency for skilled individuals to gravitate toward larger urban centers. Employing spatial regression, the analysis takes into account local characteristics in regions.Results. Density and education have a positive correlation, while the number of holders of bachelor's degrees has a surprisingly negative impact on productivity. Notably, higher aggregate education levels enhance regional productivity throughout the Jakarta Metropolitan Area, except for highly educated individuals. The level of education influences the minimum wage in a region, driven by spatial disparities in the educational infrastructure and quality. The number of educated people also influences wages in and across regions, prompting migration to regions with higher salaries.Conclusions. By integrating microdata and macrodata and employing spatial regression techniques, this study shows the connection between education, productivity, and regional dynamics, particularly in the Jakarta Metropolitan Area. These findings challenge the assumption that possessing a high level of education guarantees higher productivity and remuneration, demonstrating the need for education reforms that align with labor market demands and bolster the economy

Younger vs. older workers in ASEAN countries: substitutes or complements?

The phenomenon of population ageing has led the countries of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) to face challenges in the sphere of employment since older workers are considered likely to prevent younger workers from entering the labor market. This paper seeks to describe the effect that an increase in the number of older workers has on the number of young workers. The study relies on the data provided by the International Labour Organization for the period between 2010 and 2016 and the OLS and 2SLS regression analysis methods. The results show that older workers do not impede the career progress of younger workers, in other work, that these two groups of workers are complements rather than substitutes for each other. Nevertheless, the phenomenon of population ageing should be an important concern for the governments of ASEAN countries because of the effect of this trend on the labour market. The fact that almost a half of the elderly population in ASEAN is still actively working indicates that the elderly suffer from the consequences of the economic downturn and still do not feel financially secure enough to retire. Thus, the role of the government in the current conditions is to create a suitable job market to accommodate elderly workers

Changes in Land Use in Eastern Surabaya, Indonesia, and their Impact on Coastal Society and Aquaculture

Indonesia is an archipelago country which has a large number of coastal areas, including Surabaya City. This part of the country, in particular its eastern areas, was affected by changes in land use – more land is now occupied by farms and residential areas. Another important type of land use in Surabaya is the ponds used for fish farming.This research aims to prove that the change of land use in Surabaya affects the socio-economy of the coastal area. This research uses the quantitative approach and descriptive statistic method. It shows that the increase in the number of ponds in Surabaya has not affected the growth in the number of fishermen while the amount and the value of fish production increased significantly due to marine fishing. Since most of the ponds in Surabaya are managed traditionally, they are unable to ensure a high output. Therefore, the majority of the community of Parmubaya in the east coast of Surabaya would like to change the function of ponds but are impeded to dos o by the legal regulations due to the special status of this area. Consequently, the optimal use of ponds in Surabaya would be to train fishermen, fish farmers, and representatives of other related professions

Manufacturing Industry Performance Appraisals: Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Model

Companies with assessment criteria often consider only the leader's subjectivity and ignore other criteria. Limited appraisal criteria result in shortcomings in the decision-making process. This study examines the performance appraisal in a plastic manufacturing company's production floor and develops a multi-criteria decision-making model for performance appraisal by considering company criteria. We propose a qualitative approach using the analytic network process to determine the weighted criteria and sub-criteria to evaluate performance by involving all criteria. The results show that qualitative performance criteria yield higher scores for workers than the quantitative performance criteria, thereby confirming that subjectivity and qualitative criteria influence performance appraisal in the manufacturing industry. A multi-criteria decision-making model is required in performance appraisals to determine the overall measurable criteria. Moreover, this study contributes to an empirical solution for achieving an effective human resource management system

Analisis Penyerapan Tenaga Kerja Sektor Industri dan UMKM dalam Perekonomian Dua Sektor di Jawa Timur.

Teori Lewis tentang two sector model menjelaskan perpindahan tenaga kerja dari sektor subsisten atau pertanian ke sektor industri dengan asumsi adanya tarikan upah. Teori tersebut tidak mempertimbangkan bahwa upah menjadi masalah di sektor industri yang menyebabkan kelebihan tenaga kerja di sektor industri dan diasumsikan tertampung ke sektor informal. Dari hal tersebut terdapat tujuan penelitian yaitu mengetahui penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri dengan variabel pertumbuhan PDRB sektor pertanian dan industri, tingkat upah minimum regional, total angkatan kerja dan penyerapan tenaga kerja pertanian. Kedua, penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor UMKM dengan variabel pertumbuhan PDRB sektor pertanian dan industri, total angkatan kerja, jumlah tenaga kerja pertanian dan jumlah tenaga kerja industri. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif dengan regresi panel. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa pada transformasi tenaga kerja pertanian ke industri di Jawa Timur, terutama kaitan antara pertumbuhan sektor pertanian dan tingkat upah terhadap penyerapan tenaga kerja di sektor industri tidak terbukti. Bagian teori Lewis yang diterima dari hasil analisis yaitu pertumbuhan sektor industri dan jumlah tenaga kerja terhadap penyerapan tenaga kerja sektor industri. Tidak adanya keterkaitan antara output di sektor pertanian dan industri terhadap sektor UMKM. Sektor UMKM hanyalah menjadi pilihan terakhir, setelah semua tenaga kerja tertolak dari berbagai sektor formal
