Mapping food system vulnerabilities and multilevel governance across spatial typologies in Jambi Province
No full textUneven production capacity, spatial disparities, distribution constraints, and governance fragmentation shape food security conditions in Jambi Province. Although aggregate indicators show improvement between 2022 and 2024, persistent territorial inequalities and structural vulnerabilities remain. This study maps food system vulnerabilities and multilevel governance dynamics across spatial typologies in Jambi Province. Using a mixed-methods design that integrates Likert-scale surveys of provincial and district/municipal officials with thematic qualitative analysis of academic perspectives, the study synthesizes institutional perceptions across the four FAO pillars—availability, access, utilization, and stability. The findings reveal scalar asymmetries in governance perceptions: provincial actors rely on aggregate indicators and formal coordination mechanisms, whereas district and municipal actors emphasize operational constraints and localized bottlenecks. Academic perspectives highlight longer-term structural pressures, including land-use conversion, climate exposure, and demographic shifts in farming communities. Through iterative thematic integration, the study constructs three spatial configurations of food system vulnerability: (1) urban and peri-urban areas dependent on external supply and sensitive to price volatility; (2) highland production centers characterized by strong output capacity but climate-related risks; and (3) rural–coastal regions constrained by infrastructural limitations and environmental exposure. The results demonstrate that food security in Jambi is territorially differentiated and mediated by multilevel governance dynamics. Mapping these configurations provides a structured basis for spatially differentiated and coordination-sensitive policy design
Determinants of female labor force participation in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province
No full textThis study examines the key factors shaping women’s labor-market participation in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province, Indonesia, where gender disparities in employment persist. It aims to analyze how demographic and economic characteristics influence women’s decisions to engage in paid work. Using a quantitative approach and a binary logistic regression model, the study draws on data from 100 women aged 15 to 65 years. The analysis evaluates the effects of age, educational attainment, marital status, number of dependents, and household income. The findings indicate that education and household income are significant determinants of women’s labor force participation. Women with a junior high school education are significantly less likely to participate in the labor market than those with a tertiary education. Meanwhile, higher household income contributed by other family members reduces women’s likelihood of working. However, age, marital status, and the number of dependents do not have statistically significant effects. These results underscore the importance of human capital and household economic conditions in shaping women’s labor market behavior in resource-based regions. The study also provides policy-relevant insights for promoting more inclusive labor markets through investments in education, skills development, and gender-responsive employment strategies
The impact of inflation on Sierra Leone’s current account balance
No full textThis study examines the dynamic relationship between inflation and the current account balance (CAB) in Sierra Leone from 1980 to 2024, with a particular focus on both short-run and long-run effects. The objective is to determine the directional impact of inflation and other macroeconomic indicators on current account performance and to provide actionable insights for economic stabilization. Using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) bounds testing approach and Granger causality analysis, the study assesses both equilibrium and predictive relationships among inflation, the real exchange rate, foreign direct investment (FDI), GDP growth, real interest rates, and trade openness. The results indicate that, in the long run, the CAB improves by approximately 0.0867 percentage points for every one-percentage-point increase in inflation, consistent with the intertemporal current account framework. The findings also suggest feedback effects between inflation and the current account, though statistical significance varies across directions. Trade openness and FDI are found to exert negative long-run effects on the current account, while their lagged effects show positive adjustments. Exchange rate dynamics and interest rates are volatile, whereas economic growth contributes positively to the external balance. Furthermore, the results reveal that inflation Granger-causes GDP growth, real interest rates, and FDI, underscoring its broader macroeconomic influence. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of coordinated fiscal, monetary, and trade policies in maintaining external stability and macroeconomic balance in Sierra Leone
The impact of ICT adoption and trade openness on youth unemployment in ASEAN: opportunity or challenge?
No full textThis study investigates the long-term impact of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption and trade openness on youth unemployment in ASEAN countries over the period 2000–2023. Panel data are analyzed using the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) estimation method. The empirical results indicate that trade openness reduces youth unemployment, particularly among male youth. However, its effect is relatively weaker and not consistently significant for female youth, suggesting the presence of gender disparities in labor absorption within tradable sectors. Furthermore, digital infrastructure plays a crucial role in mitigating youth unemployment. Both fixed broadband and mobile cellular subscriptions are found to significantly reduce youth unemployment rates, with broadband access exhibiting a stronger and more consistent effect across models. Overall, the findings suggest that ICT adoption and trade openness constitute important mechanisms for reducing youth unemployment in ASEAN countries
Intergenerational solidarity and subjective economic vulnerability among older adults in Indonesia
No full textThis study examines the influence of intergenerational relationships on the subjective economic vulnerability of older adults in Indonesia, with particular emphasis on reciprocal motives and bequest intentions within the framework of intergenerational solidarity. Using data from the fifth wave of the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS-5) conducted in 2014, comprising 6,246 respondents aged 60 and above, the study estimates two forms of subjective vulnerability—self-assessed economic vulnerability and perceived economic vulnerability—using a bivariate probit regression model to address potential endogeneity between co-residence with adult children, health status, bequest motives, and vulnerability among older adults. The findings indicate that bequest motives significantly increase the likelihood of co-residing with adult children, reflecting reciprocal exchange mechanisms within multigenerational households. Physical and psychological health emerge as the strongest determinants of subjective vulnerability among older adults. This study makes an important empirical contribution by introducing an integrated model that links bequest motives, intergenerational solidarity, and subjective vulnerability within the context of a developing country. Overall, the results underscore the need for stronger synergy between family-based support and formal social protection systems to mitigate vulnerability risks among older adults in an era of population ageing
Dynamics of the underground economy in border areas: A case study of Indonesia-Timor Leste
No full textThe underground economy in border regions represents a complex phenomenon shaped by regulatory gaps, limited access to formal economic systems, and high transaction costs in legal trade. This study analyzes the dynamics of informal cross-border trade along the Indonesia–Timor-Leste border, focusing on North Central Timor (TTU) Regency and the Oecusse Enclave. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the research draws on field observations, semi-structured interviews, and thematic analysis to demonstrate that underground economic activities function not only as a survival strategy but also as an informally institutionalized, socially organized economic ecosystem. The findings reveal that price disparities, weak supervision, and limited institutional capacity collectively drive communities’ dependence on illicit trade. A comparative analysis of similar cases from international border regions highlights the need for policy responses tailored to local contexts. The study recommends strengthening bilateral cooperation, adopting surveillance technologies suited to regional capacities, and implementing community-based economic empowerment programs to facilitate the transition toward an inclusive and sustainable formal economy
Evidence-based strategies for extreme poverty reduction: Identifying priority areas in Jambi Province, Indonesia
No full textExtreme poverty is a global priority within the framework of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with “No Poverty” designated as Goal 1 by the United Nations. Indonesia has targeted the eradication of extreme poverty to 0–1% by 2024, requiring each region to accelerate its efforts, including Jambi Province, which recorded an average extreme poverty rate of 1.36% in 2021. This study aims to identify priority areas of extreme poverty in Jambi Province and to formulate evidence-based strategies through the integration of spatial mapping using the Extreme Poverty Coefficient (K₀) with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The analysis employed district/municipality-level data for the period 2021–2022, with K₀ constructed from official BPS indicators and AHP conducted through expert assessments across institutions. The findings reveal shifts in priority areas: in 2021, the highest-priority regions were Tanjung Jabung Barat, Tanjung Jabung Timur, and Jambi City, while in 2022, Sarolangun and Batang Hari emerged as new high-priority areas. The AHP results indicate that reducing household expenditure burdens is the main strategic criterion (0.748), followed by reducing poverty pockets (0.134) and increasing community income (0.119). The most prominent policy alternatives include food subsidies, energy subsidies, and the empowerment of local economies and MSMEs. Methodologically, this study contributes by integrating K₀-based spatial mapping with AHP to produce policy strategies that are convergent, measurable, and place-based. These findings are expected to strengthen Indonesia’s efforts to accelerate the eradication of extreme poverty
Adaptive fiscal strategies for strengthening local taxing power: Evidence from Jambi Province
No full textThe transformation of regional taxation is a strategic agenda aimed at strengthening fiscal capacity, reducing dependence on central government transfers, and supporting sustainable development within the framework of regional autonomy. This study aims to identify the regional tax instruments with the greatest potential, analyze the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing local taxing power, and formulate adaptive fiscal policy strategies in Jambi Province. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, drawing on primary data from in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs), as well as secondary data from regional budget (APBD) reports, local revenue (PAD) statistics, and regional tax realization for the period 2021–2024. Thematic analysis was conducted using NVivo software, complemented by quantitative data triangulation. The findings reveal that the largest tax potential in Jambi lies in the Street Lighting Tax, Specific Goods and Services Tax, Land and Building Acquisition Duty (BPHTB), and Rural and Urban Land and Building Tax (PBBP2), with varying dominance across districts and municipalities according to their respective economic characteristics. The main implementation challenges include low taxpayer compliance, weak administrative systems and institutional coordination, limited human resources, and disparities in infrastructure development across regions. Nonetheless, significant opportunities exist through the growth of the digital economy, the rise of online-based SMEs, the development of tourism and real estate sectors, and the diversification of resource-based taxation. This study recommends adaptive fiscal strategies built upon three key pillars: regulatory reform, institutional and technological capacity building, and cross-sector collaboration, accompanied by public outreach. Such strategies are expected to foster a more inclusive, transparent, and efficient regional taxation system while strengthening fiscal independence in the post-HKPD 2022 era
Measuring gender inequality in household decision-making and its impact on food security: Evidence from rice-farming households in Jambi Province, Indonesia
No full textThis study investigates the impact of gender inequality in household decision-making on food security among rice-farming households in Jambi Province, Indonesia. Drawing on the Harvard and Moser Models, the research develops quantitative indicators of gender roles and applies an ordered probit model to assess household food security across ranked categories. Data were collected from 214 households using a two-stage stratified sampling method, combining survey responses with secondary institutional data. The findings reveal that only 29% of households are food secure, while 71% experience either temporary or chronic food insecurity. Male-dominated households are more likely to achieve food security, whereas female-dominated and jointly managed households are significantly more vulnerable. Structural factors also exert a decisive influence: the education of the household head and land ownership consistently enhance food security. At the same time, participation in farmer training without resource support and reliance on non-farm income have adverse effects. These results underscore the importance of gender-inclusive policies that expand women’s access to education, land, credit, and market information. Targeted microcredit programs, resource-supported training, and the promotion of joint decision-making are recommended to reduce gender inequality and strengthen sustainable food security in rural farming communities
Leading sectors, multiplier effects, and economic spillovers among the islands of East Nusa Tenggara Province
No full textRegional economic disparities and fragmented inter-island linkages remain key challenges in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), one of Indonesia’s archipelagic provinces with diverse resource endowments. This study analyzes the structure and dynamics of NTT’s regional economy by identifying its leading sectors through intersectoral linkage analysis, estimating the magnitudes of multiplier effects, and examining spillover effects across the province’s major islands. The research utilizes the 2016 Input–Output Table of NTT Province and the accumulated Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) data of regencies and cities across the Timor, Flores, and Sumba islands for the 2016–2023 period. Analytical methods include linkage analysis, multiplier effect estimation, and the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM). The results show that agriculture, manufacturing, electricity, trade, and transportation constitute the leading sectors due to their strong forward and backward linkages. At the same time, agriculture and manufacturing also generate the largest multiplier effects. These sectors further create significant inter-island spillover effects, characterized by spread effects between Sumba–Timor, Sumba–Flores, and Timor–Sumba, and backwash effects between Timor–Flores and Flores–Sumba. The findings highlight that strengthening productive linkages in agriculture and manufacturing is vital for enhancing spatial equity and promoting inclusive regional growth. Conceptually, this study contributes to the literature by integrating intersectoral, multiplier, and spillover analyses to explain spatial economic interdependence in archipelagic regions and by offering practical policy implications for fostering sustainable inter-island integration in NTT Province
