  • Significances of Marketing Education in Reducing Poverty in Indonesia: Special Review on Quality of Life

    Significances of Marketing Education in Reducing Poverty in Indonesia: Special Review on Quality of Life

    Author: Senny Luckyardi ; Ratih Hurriyati ; Disman ; Puspo Dewi Dirgantari

    DOI: 10.15549/jeecar.v9i1.867

    Abstract:

    Poverty in Indonesia has become a critical issue as a result of social and economic disparities. The phenomenon is inextricably linked to education’s role as a gateway to poverty alleviation. One of the primary causes of entrepreneurial failure, which ultimately increases the risk of bankruptcy and poverty, is a lack of public knowledge about marketing. From the stated problem, the purpose of this research is to investigate how marketing education can aid in the reduction of poverty in the context of quality-of-life improvement. Because most previous research focused on unemployment and income levels as indicators of poverty, which did not explain the quality of life comprehensively, a review of the quality of life is required in this study. Additionally, Man Whitney analysis was used to compare the quality of life in the two groups of respondents using a quantitative method. Observations were also conducted for a period of six months to assess the respondents’ quality of life. WHOQOL-BREF was used as a research instrument and was distributed to Group 1 (30 respondents who had received marketing education) and Group 2 (30 respondents who had not received marketing education). Each respondent is from a different province in Indonesia. The findings indicate that marketing education can help reduce poverty, resulting in significant improvements in quality of life. Marketing knowledge leads to positive changes that have a significant impact on human well-being. This research contributes to our understanding of marketing education as a means of reducing poverty. ยฉ 2022, Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. All rights reserved.

  • The Role of Domestic Investment, Foreign Investment,and Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises for Poverty Reduction in Indonesia

    The Role of Domestic Investment, Foreign Investment,and Micro, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises for Poverty Reduction in Indonesia

    Author: Herman Soegoto, Surjatno Wiganepdo Soegoto, Daniel Francois Meyer

    DOI: 10.15549/jeecar.v9i5.1072

    Abstract:

    The Indonesian government is trying to reduce the poverty rate, among others, by encouraging investment sourced from within the country and abroad and increasing the number of micro, small and medium-sized businesses. However, until the end of 2020, the category of poor people in Indonesia is still relatively high, about ten per cent of the total population of Indonesia. This research problem encouraged the authors to examine the role Domestic Investment (DI), Foreign Investment (FI) and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to reduce poverty in Indonesia. This is also because there has been no previous Indonesian research involving the four variables with data from 2010 to 2020. This study used quantitative methods to determine the impact of DI, FI and MSMEs on the magnitude of poverty. Data combining time series and cross-section data is analyzed using the least square panel method. The results of the study showed that poverty would decrease when there is an increase in domestic investment, an increase in foreign investment, and an increase in the number of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in Indonesia. ยฉ 2022, Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

  • Digitalization and Informal MSME: Digital Financial Inclusionย for MSME Development in the Formal Economy

    Digitalization and Informal MSME: Digital Financial Inclusionย for MSME Development in the Formal Economy

    Author: Siti Kurnia Rahayu ; Isniar Budiarti ; Dony Waluya Firdaus ; Viktoriya Onegina

    DOI: 10.15549/jeecar.v10i1.1056

    Abstract:

    This study examines digital financial inclusion and uses Fintech for informal micro small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to overcome the financing gap. The researchers used primarily qualitative methods, namely a qualitative analysis strategy verification through inductive analysis. The results show that Indonesiaโ€™s fintech landscape makes MSME a driver of the digital economy so that they can overcome the financing gap in the informal sector. The challenges faced by Fintech in encouraging MSME business efficiency in the form of unbalanced agency distribution, data security, data access problems, low digital financial literacy, low connectivity, and interoperability can be overcome by taking advantage of existing opportunities. These opportunities include the role of MFIs and cooperatives in promoting financial inclusion and the development of telecommunications infrastructure networks in Indonesia. The novelty of this research is the comprehensive evaluation of achieved progress in digital financial inclusion for MSMEs in Indonesia and the developed recommendation for regulations by relevant authorities to encourage the business efficiency of MSMEs through facilitating digital financial inclusion. ยฉ 2023, Institute of Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
