Book excerpt: The book focuses on Indonesia's most pressing labor market challenges and associated policy options to achieve higher and more inclusive economic growth. The challenges consist of creating jobs for and the skills in a youthful and increasingly better educated workforce, and raising the productivity of less-educated workers to meet the demands of the digital age. The book deals with a range of interrelated topics---the changing supply and demand for labor in relation to the shift of workers out of agriculture; urbanization and the growth of megacities; raising the quality of schooling for new jobs in the digital economy; and labor market policies to improve both labor standards and productivity.

Book excerpt: Strong household consumption coupled with investment were the key factors underpinning Indonesia's economic performance in 2014. Growth in 2014 was accompanied by solid gains in the labour market, with evidence of employment expanding and conditions of work improving. However, economic performance during the first quarter of 2015 slowed to 4.71 per cent (yoy), largely attributed to a weakening of government consumption, the slowing of investment in the construction sector and deteriorating commodity prices.

Download or read book The Indonesian Labour Market written by Shafiq Dhanani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 341 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The topics of unemployment, underemployment, wage trends and patterns, and the relationship between poverty and the labour market are of interest to all policy makers, researchers, academics and journalists concerned with economic development. This book traces the evolution of the Indonesian labour market between the early 1970s and late 2000s. This entails a (a) review of macroeconomic policies and their employment impact; (b) review of unemployment and underemployment trends; (c) review of wage trends and living standards; (d) relationship between poverty, inequality and the labour market; and (e) labour market regulations, employment and the business environment. The book comes up with a number of policy-relevant findings. Macroeconomic policies, particularly inflation targeting in the 2000-2007 period, have not been conducive to employment generation. The assumption that unemployment is an appropriate indicator of labour market performance and, more importantly, that it is closely aligned with poverty, is shown to be inaccurate. Sustained real wage growth in the twenty-year period before the 1997 financial crisis is contrasted with the lack of improvement since then, a period otherwise of respectable economic growth by international standards. The predicted adverse consequences of sweeping labour market regulations in 2000-2007 on properly measured employment, unemployment and labour costs did not materialize, mainly because of low compliance. It seems that a restrictive macroeconomic framework has been more constraining for employment growth than the perceived labour market rigidity during the post-crisis period. The book concludes with an evaluation of several ‘reactive’ and ‘proactive’ labour market policies. Though these are complementary, policy makers in Indonesia have probably put too much emphasis on reactive policies such minimum wage and severance pay, and not enough on proactive policies aimed at creating an adaptable and skilled workforce.

Download or read book Wage labour in modern society written by Andreas N. Lytras and published by Papazisis Publishers. This book was released on 2016-02-23 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This elaboration is a political analysis within sociological theory. The study has as subject the main propositions of a theoretical framework on the current structure of employment and on the question of the abolition of (the dependent and therefore) wage labour. I note that the latter does not have, as a precondition, the overcoming of capitalism. The analysis, in the form of an intellectual test, examines the methods and the thoroughness of enforcing the new situation of a single work status within the economic activity. This type of labour has morphological similarities to self-employment or otherwise to the own account workers. The basic starting point of the study is the finding that many enterprises worldwide have, already and in many of the aspects of production and business organization, overcome the functions and the classical forms of utilization of wage labour. The creation of working groups, the work from a distance, the instances of self-management, along with the extensive use of part-time workers or workers in various flexible work statuses, the cooperation with independent professionals, through outsourcing, communicates with the changes in the old type of enterprise’s management. However, wage labour is retained as an obsession. The economic need for such maintenance, beyond the habit, can hardly be explained. The only remaining reason might be the need for entrepreneurs to command directly large groups of people, while their economic interests pushing in other directions. The survey, at a glance, examines the following issues: i) Major theoretical approaches and debates on the characteristics of capitalist society and the consolidation of wage labour, ii) The evolution of the division of labour and the industrial changes during ninetieth and twentieth century, iii) The realities of employment, through empirical data, in six groups of countries, worldwide, iv) The evidences of the real overcoming of wage labour, through the mainstreaming strategies of the contemporary enterprises, despite the maintaining of the typical form of wage dependency, v) The elaboration on the transformation of the model of employment under the process for the imposition of autonomous labour and the abolition of wage status, through the political and finally the legal interference, in the modern state, vi) The consideration on the pattern of the social structure, which could be formed, during the evolution and after the end of the previous project, and vii) The importance of the procedure to the social and political system. In the final analysis, there is an important suggestion: The autonomous worker would be in equilibrium with the status of citizen. A wage labourer has never had a similar balance. Especially when he was under the authority of an employer during the hours of work he was not, exactly, a citizen. We owe the restoration of social and political equilibrium because of the faith in our civilization. Freedom, work autonomy and democracy are the only limitations.
Download or read book Poverty and the Labour Market in Indonesia written by Jan Priebe and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Poverty and the Labour Market in Indonesia: Employment Trends across the Wealth Distribution', is among Indonesia's first papers on the relationship between poverty and the labour market. It provides a detailed analysis of employment indicators (labour force participation rates, hours worked, and type and sector of employment) for the period 2000-2012 across the entire wealth distribution, by location, gender and various sociodemographic characteristics.Despite high economic growth rates, the creation of millions of new jobs, and a strong decrease in poverty rates in recent years, many Indonesians continue to live in poverty even when employed. This paper finds that the poor are as likely as the nonpoor to work, both at the extensive (labour force participation) and at the intensive (number of days and number of hours) margins. The reason for being poor despite being employed is therefore largely driven by other factors.In terms of household structure, clear evidence exists that the working poor need to share their income with a larger household, including economically nonactive members such as young children and the elderly. The higher dependency ratio contributes to their being/becoming working poor. Significant gender differences exist in the Indonesian labour market. Men show higher labour force participation rates and are more likely to work more hours compared with women. However, no strong gender differences were observed when comparing the working poor with the nonpoor.The authors observed that the relative share of the rural working poor as a portion of all working poor has increased over time and that the majority of the working poor are employed in the agricultural sector. Furthermore, the working poor are predominantly and increasingly (in relative terms) concentrated in the informal sector of the economy. An important finding concerns the role of education in the likelihood of being poor or nonpoor. Results also suggest that only the attainment of higher secondary and tertiary education seems to increase the likelihood of being meaningfully protected against poverty.
Download or read book Social impacts of oil palm in Indonesia written by Tania Murray Li and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2015-05-07 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil palm plantations and smallholdings are expanding massively in Indonesia. Proponents highlight the potential for job creation and poverty alleviation, but scholars are more cautious, noting that social impacts of oil palm are not well understood. This report draws upon primary research in West Kalimantan to explore the gendered dynamics of oil palm among smallholders and plantation workers. It concludes that the social and economic benefits of oil palm are real, but restricted to particular social groups. Among smallholders in the research area, couples who were able to sustain diverse farming systems and add oil palm to their repertoire benefited more than transmigrants, who had to survive on limited incomes from a 2-ha plot.

Download or read book Re Imagining Labour Law for Development written by Diamond Ashiagbor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to explore labour law's conceptual and normative narrative. If labour law is informed by the wider political and economic landscape within which it operates, then given the declining prevalence of the post-war model of full employment within a formal welfare state regime, what shape does or should labour law assume in response to the transformation of the political economy in countries of the global North? Correspondingly, what is the proper role to be played by labour law and labour relations institutions in the development process within industrialising countries of the global South, where informal employment has long been, and remains, the predominant form? Drawing on the expertise of leading labour law scholars, this collection addresses those questions by examining the growth and continued prevalence of informality. Offering research that is both empirically grounded and doctrinally astute, the book explores the changing character of labour law in the global North and South.
Download or read book Age Related Pension Expenditure and Fiscal Space written by Mukul G. Asher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the linkages between age-related pension expenditures and the fiscal space needed to fund them, as well as to organize the mix of financing methods with different risk-sharing arrangements. After critically assessing the existing models projecting age-related expenditure in the literature, the book focuses on the case studies of these inter-linkages in four highly-populated East Asian countries, namely China, Indonesia, India, and Japan. Nearly two- fifths of the global population live in these countries. Therefore, how these inter-linkages manifest themselves and the initiatives in these countries for finding fiscal space will have an impact on how the ageing issues are addressed globally. This book does several distinguishing characteristics, including exploration of inter-linkages between age-related expenditure and fiscal space, and application of country-specific methods to explore these linkages, rather than relying standard macroeconomic model. In the process, the studies also bring out the limitations of standardized model used in the literatures. Scholars and policy makers interested in the subject will definitely find the book of valuable use.
