SOSIALISASI PEMASARAN PRODUK UKM KRIPIK KIKIM "JALAL" DI PEKON PODOMORO MENGGUNAKAN MEDIA SOSIAL INSTAGRAM

Competition in the distribution industry is getting tighter. One of the things that makes a distribution company survive is the provision of products that are on time to consumers at the right time, and at an economical cost. Product availability and economical selling prices can only occur if there is good coordination between the company and the parties in its supply chain. Micro and medium enterprises are part of the national business. UMKM can also be considered as the locomotive of national and regional (regional) economic growth, because they have the potential to empower all available resources and encourage the growth of entrepreneurial development. The role of UMKM in Indonesia, namely increasing employment opportunities, equal distribution of income, rural economic development, increasing non-oil and gas exports and contributing to increasing GDP. On this basis, STMIK Pringsewu students collaborate with Pekon Podomoro to provide assistance services for people who have home industry businesses to have a digital-based sales platform, namely a social media. This activity aims to provide an understanding for UMKM players how to market food products, crafts, clothing, services and others using social media. From this activity, the people of Pekon Podomoro who have a home industry can market their products quickly, precisely and safely so that business actors can provide convenience to customers.

Ban-the-Box Measures Help High-Crime Neighborhoods

Many localities have in recent years regulated the use of questions about criminal history in hiring, or “banned the box.” We show that these regulations increased employment of residents in high-crime neighborhoods by up to 4 percent, consistent with the central objective of these measures. This effect can be seen in both aggregate employment patterns for high-crime neighborhoods and commuting patterns to workplace destinations with this type of ban. The increases are particularly large in the public sector and in lower-wage jobs. This is the first nationwide evidence that these policies do indeed increase employment opportunities in neighborhoods with many ex-offenders.

Country-of-origin-specific economic capital in neighbourhoods: Impact on immigrants’ employment opportunities

Does living in an area characterized by high concentrations of residents of the same country-of-origin deprive ethnic minority groups, or does potential access to an extended country-of-origin-specific network stimulate their integration? This paper takes a new approach to analysing the potential of country-of-origin-specific economic capital in neighbourhoods to increase employment opportunities. We add to the ‘ethnic enclave’ debate by measuring country-of-origin-specific economic capital as the rate of employed co-countrymen, while controlling for the presence of co-countrymen and general employment rates in the neighbourhood. Whereas many studies employ aggregated data to estimate the impact of neighbourhood, here we use individualized, scalable neighbourhoods. This allows for a flexible approach in studying the impact of country-of-origin-specific economic capital in neighbourhoods. We employ individual longitudinal Swedish registry data for 2000–2010 on working-age individuals of Iraqi, Iranian, Turkish, and Somalian backgrounds in Stockholm, Göteborg, and Malmö. We find that an increased share of employed co-countrymen positively influences individual employment prospects. We add to existing knowledge by showing that the impact of minority clustering on employment outcomes is conditional on the quality of local networks – i.e., country-of-origin-specific economic capital – and on the scale of measurement.

Fishery-Based Ecotourism in Developing Countries Can Enhance the Social-Ecological Resilience of Coastal Fishers—A Case Study of Bangladesh

The importance of recreational fishing, in many coastal areas and less developed nations, is increasing rapidly. Connecting fisheries to tourism can create innovative tourism products and provide new income sources. The present study is the first to explore the concept of coastal fishery-based ecotourism (FbE) to enhance the social–ecological resilience of coastal fishing communities in a specific tourist spot in Bangladesh. A combination of primary (quantitative and qualitative) and secondary (literature databases) data sources were used in this study. It applied a social–ecological system (SES) and social–ecological resilience (SER) concept to collect quantitative and qualitative data (120 in-depth individual interviews, four focus group discussions, and strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats-SWOT analyses) and frame their interpretation. The study found that Bangladesh needs to adopt a firm policy to utilize tourism’s potential in national economic development and societal progress. The findings show the considerable potential of the concept that integrates business, education, and an environmental conservation perspective in Bangladesh, specifically for Saint Martin’s Island: 32% of interviewees expressed that increasing employment opportunities and the Gross Domestic Products (GDP) is the primary potential, whereas 31% said it would attract fishing tourists and 23% believed it would develop the local infrastructure and facilities for fishing and tourism. Similarly, most of the respondents (31%) thought that the lack of awareness and promotional activities is the main limitation preventing this initiative from being well accepted. Moreover, based on the findings, specific measures for strengthening the social–ecological resilience of the coastal fishers via FbE at the local level were suggested, including building communal links, developing community infrastructures, revising prevailing rules and regulations, offering alternative means of generating income for fishers during disaster periods, and more active sharing of responsibility between stakeholders and government for the management of FbE. Finally, with its focus on the prospects and challenges of coastal FbE development on Saint Martin’s Island, this article provides a useful reference point for future discourse on similar social and economic strategies. While this study focuses on Bangladesh’s coastal fishing villages, the results are possibly applicable more broadly in similar contexts and developing countries worldwide.

Impact of FDI on Economic Growth, Employment, and Poverty Reduction in Ghana

The Republic of Ghana is one of the most economically developed countries in West Africa. In the past 10 years, Ghana’s economy has maintained a sound momentum and strong economic growth. The Republic of Ghana regards foreign direct investment (FDI) as a key factor in promoting its economic growth. This article separates economic growth, employment and poverty reduction, and focuses on the single impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) on Ghana’s economic growth, employment and poverty. The research in this article shows that foreign direct investment can promote the economic development of Ghana, and foreign direct investment can increase employment opportunities in Ghana and reduce poverty at the same time. Finally, this article gives corresponding recommendations based on the research conclusions: In maintaining sustainable economic growth, favorable policies should be adopted to encourage and support Ghana, so as to attract more foreign direct investment to stimulate economic growth.

Empirical analysis of the fuzzy system model of financial expenditure economic effect

In order to analyze the effects of active fiscal policy implemented in China in the context of tax and fee reduction, this paper adopts a dynamic stochastic general equilibrium model with microeconomic foundations to study the economic effects of fiscal policy based on a comprehensive consideration of the previous literature. The empirical study based on Matlab software finds that: first, active fiscal policy has a boosting effect on the economy and can stimulate the level of output to rise in the short run; second, different fiscal policy instruments have different impact mechanisms on economic variables, and the impact paths of government consumption spending and investment spending are completely inconsistent; third, the economic effects of government tax cut policies are better than government spending policies, and structural tax cut policy is softer than universal tax cuts; fourth, expansionary government investment spending has the most significant effect on output stimulation and has a very long-term impact on output level. Through the above model analysis, this paper argues that fiscal policy should play a greater role in supporting industrial restructuring, giving full play to the long-term advantages of the interest rate effect on the basis of satisfying society’s short-term needs and pursuing prosperous economic development, increasing investment in public resource areas, deepening industrial structural reforms, offsetting negative supply shocks brought by trade frictions and cross-border investment, raising long-term output levels and increasing employment opportunities.

Economics of Minority Groups: Labour Market Returns and Transmission of Indigenous Languages

This study demonstrates a series of links between minority language skills, their economic return and their transmission across generations. Using a detailed matching procedure and different data sources, we estimate the likelihood of being employed for bilingual versus monolingual men for a large number of Mexican indigenous groups. We find that for indigenous groups, retaining the minority language along with Spanish increases employment opportunities. Furthermore, we show that the languages that are associated with larger labour market benefits are more likely to be passed on from parents to children, controlling for other factors. Overall, this study shows that the continuity of minority languages across generations is linked to concrete economic benefits, labour market specialisation, and insurance value, along with the usual social factors within the family and the community.

An analysis of post-tsunami migration patterns amongst low-income women to the city of Banda Aceh

This study discusses the migration patterns of low-income women in the city of Banda Aceh after the December 26, 2004 tsunami and the factors that affected them. Primary and secondary data were used to determine the factors behind migration. Secondary data were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency, the Population and Civil Registry Office of Banda Aceh City, Baitul Mal Banda Aceh. Primary data were obtained from respondents representing three sample districts, namely Syiah Kuala sub-district, Baiturrahman sub-district and KutaAlam sub-district. All of the respondents were women who made the transition to Banda Aceh after the tsunami and are now permanent residents of the city of Banda Aceh. About 60 women were interviewed using a pre-prepared questionnaire. The data obtained were then analyzed using descriptive analysis based on the Snowball sampling method and simple statistics. The results of the study describe the main reasons that women migrated to the city of Banda Aceh after the tsunami, with 64 percent considering employment and job opportunities, 49.1 migrated because of their husband demands, 72 sought better housing prospects, and 3.3 percent sought to avoid locations impacted by the tsunami. This research demonstrates the need for governmental policies regarding increasing employment opportunities for women so they do not become an economic burden to the city of Banda Aceh.

Unemployment and Current Account Imbalances in Nigeria

This study explores the link that exists between unemployment and current account imbalances in Nigeria from 1980 to 2014. It adopted the ARDL bounds test approach. The result gave evidence for a long-run relationship between the variables and also revealed a significant and inverse relationship between current account surplus and unemployment. Showing that a 1% increase in current account balances in favour of export will lead to a drop in the unemployment rate by 0.117893%. This, therefore, implies that current account deficit will cause a fall in employment and in turn a rise in the unemployment rate. Consequently, current account deficit leads to wage differentials in favour of the exporting countries as against importing countries, like Nigeria, and as such triggers a high rate of unemployment. We strongly recommend diversification of the country’s export-base which may increase employment opportunities and in turn reduce the unemployment rate. Keywords: Unemployment, Employment, Current Account Balances, Balance of payment, Output growth

Inclusive growth in the fastest-growing Asian countries

The paper discusses the extent of inclusiveness of economic growth in the ten fastest-growing Asian countries between 2001 and 2019. It focuses on essential aspects of inclusiveness i.e. on poverty and inequality reduction and development of employment opportunities for poor people. The study is based on the data retrieved from the ILOSTAT and World Bank Database. In the twenty-first century, the fastest growing countries in Asia have significantly reduced poverty. However, the benefits of rapid economic growth in these countries have not been spread evenly. Income inequality has been steadily increasing in some Asian societies. Besides, economic growth in the fastest-growing countries in Asia has not been always accompanied by an increase in employment opportunities. Although unemployment is not a problem for the large part of the population in Asian countries, a lot of workers are still in extreme or moderate working poverty. Reasons behind the working poor in the fastest-growing Asian countries vary slightly from country to country but the most important are: jobless growth, high vulnerable employment in agriculture and a large part of the non-agricultural labour force working in the informal sector.

Advancing inclusive growth in Nigeria: The role of financial inclusion in poverty, inequality, household expenditure, and unemployment

This study employs ARDL bounds testing technique to examine the effect of financial inclusion on inclusive growth in Nigeria, using quarterly data from 2007-2018. The empirical evidence reveals the presence of cointegration between financial inclusion indicators (account ownership, access to bank, ATM and credit, loans to SMEs and internet usage) and inclusive growth (poverty, household expenditure, employment, and per capita income). The results demonstrate that, while increase in account ownership, and access to bank and ATM raise poverty, and access to credit, loans to SMEs and internet usage reduces employment and per capita income in the long-run, it was also discovered that access to credit reduce poverty and increase household consumption, while account ownership and access to bank increases employment and per capita income in the long-run. In the short-run: lag of account ownership, access to ATM and credit, loan to SMEs and internet usage reduces poverty; lag of household expenditure, account ownership, and access to ATM and lag of internet usage increases household expenditure; lags of access to ATM and lags of internet usage (and account ownership and access to bank) increases employment opportunities (and per capita income); and access to ATM and credit reduces employment and per capita income respectively.
