Abstract

Learning in the current globalization period makes the government ready to implement a new curriculum update, namely the independent curriculum to encourage students to have the ability to solve problems. Problems based on data review in the field show that students are less accustomed to analyzing problems in economic lessons. Teachers need to innovate in the application of learning models and media. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of Problem-based learning with google classroom to improve the economic learning outcomes of students in class XI IPS at SMA Negeri 107 Jakarta. This research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design. The results of hypothesis testing show a significance value of 0.000 <0.05, tcount (7.268) > t table (1.99444) and the experimental class n-gain test of 0.41978 is higher than the control class of 0.223826. The conclusion of this study is that the problem-based learning model through google classroom is effective for improving the economic learning outcomes of class XI IPS at SMA Negeri 107 Jakarta.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the effect of energy price changes on energy consumption, especially oil and coal, for Indonesian manufacturing sectors. Unbalanced panel data analysis is utilized on firm-level data from 2003 to 2015 to examine the price elasticity of oil and coal demand. The estimation indicates that Indonesia’s manufacturing sectors are sensitive to energy price. On the aggregate analysis, one percent oil price increase is significant to reduce the demand of 0.194 percent, while coal consumption is not significantly affected by its price. Coal regression illustrates different outcomes than oil estimation which shows a positive relationship between coal price and coal demand even though it is insignificant. This phenomenon can be possibly interpreted through several explanations: a small number of firms using coal, concentration of coal demand in a few sub-sectors, and meager price of coal relative to oil. For further understanding, sectoral analysis has been examined on five priority sub-sectors—food and beverage; textile, apparel and footwear; chemicals and pharmacy; electronics and optical device; and automotive and transport equipment. The sectoral evaluations suggest that price elasticity for oil demand is considered as inelastic, ranging from 0.184 to 0.387 in absolute value. Oil price changes have the most impact on textile, apparel, and footwear sub-sectors, while food and beverage is the most unaffected by oil shocks.

Abstract

Child malnutrition is a condition of disproportionate nutrition in children. It manifests in three forms—stunting, being underweight, and wasting. It is one of the biggest burdens in Indonesia, as the incidence shows an improvement, but it continues to be categorized as highly severe for stunting and being underweight and moderately severe for wasting. Using the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) Wave 5 data year 2014/2015, this study analyzes the association between maternal characteristics and the incidence of malnutrition among children aged 5–59 months in Indonesia. The probit regression result implies that maternal characteristics (mother’s BMI, height, and education) significantly influence the child’s malnutrition. Furthermore, there are other compounding factors to consider, such as the child’s age, the number of members in a household, the household’s per capita expenditure, and the household’s area and region.

Abstract

The first year of the COVID-19 Pandemic greatly weakened the employment and unemployment situation in Semarang City. Based on previous researches, poverty can be overcome by increasing employment opportunities, social assistance, community empowerment, increasing education-based human resources and developing access to microfinance. Some previous investigations ignored the concept of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as one of the concepts that can be carried out. SDGs are concepts that have prospects for overcoming poverty in Indonesia because those not only pay attention to economic aspects but also social and environmental aspects. The urgency of this research was the high poverty rate which indicated a low level of social welfare and required appropriate efforts and strategies to overcome. Poverty alleviation efforts must pay attention to all aspects, including economic, social and environmental in accordance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Thus, the specific objectives of this research were 1) to analyze the development of poverty and the economy in the city of Semarang, 2) to analyze the role of economic growth and regional financial management against poverty, 3) to develop a poverty alleviation strategy model based on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In realizing those objectives, this research employed a quantitative approach with the Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis method. Findings showed that the degree of fiscal decentralization did not directly have a significant direct effect on both economic growth and poverty. Furthermore, the balancing fund variable had a significant direct effect on both economic growth and poverty. Meanwhile, economic growth did not directly have a significant effect on poverty. Indirectly, neither the degree of fiscal decentralization nor the balance fund had a significant effect on poverty through economic growth

It happened due to the large number of companies that have terminated employment (PHK) for several employees because of the dramatic company's production drop. Regarding this matter, the open unemployment rate in Central Java experienced a very significant increase, namely from 4.44% in 2019 to 6.48% in 2020.

Findings showed that: 1) balancing funds was the variable that had a direct and significant effect on economic growth, 2) balancing funds and economic growth had a direct and significant effect on the unemployment, 3) the variables which had a direct and significant relationship on poverty were capital expenditure and economic growth, 4) fiscal decentralization and balancing funds had no significant effect on poverty, 5) capital expenditure had an indirect effect on unemployment through economic growth, 6) the variable that indirectly had a significant influence on poverty through economic growth is also capital expenditure, 7) capital expenditure indirectly had a significant effect on poverty through economic growth, 8) fiscal decentralization and balancing funds had no significant effect on unemployment and poverty through economic growth. Thus, Central Java province used to be a province with unemployment and poverty issues. For the strategies, it is suggested for the government to simplify the registration process of license and tax breaks for labor-intensive industries so that they can absorb a greater workforce.

Abstract

The phenomenon of urbanization continues to increase in Indonesia. Urbanization can have both positive and negative influences. The higher urban population will push many industries, but environmental issues also potentially increase. On the other hand, more density leads to increased competition for work, which potentially increases crime. As a result, this study intends to investigate how urbanization affects Indonesia's environmental, economic, and social performance. The study employed a quantitative technique utilizing panel data from 33 Indonesian provinces for the years 2010, 2015, and 2020, which was then evaluated using the structural equation-partial least square model on SmartPLS 3.0. The findings revealed that urbanization had a significant negative effect on the environmental quality index. Meanwhile, urbanization had a significant positive effect on gross regional domestic product and the number of victims of theft. It can be concluded that urbanization encouraged economic improvement, but had the potential to worsen environmental conditions and crime. Thus, to reduce the negative impact on the environment, the government needs to emphasize the use of environmentally friendly fuels to the public. Also, implementing requirements for residents who will carry out urbanization to have skills that can be absorbed by the world of work
