Digital technologies as solutions to China’s aging population: a systematic review of their opportunities and challenges in rural development

IntroductionDifferences exist in the rate of aging between individuals residing in urban and rural areas in China, with rural areas experiencing a more pronounced impact. Smart aging represents a prevalent future trend in this regard, though its development will inevitably face challenges. However, studies focusing on rural areas are scarce. Future models of aging in less developed regions, including rural areas and townships, are expected to integrate and draw inspiration from the smart aging paradigm.MethodsWe present a systematic review of the current application of digital technologies in caring for older people in rural areas. We conducted extracted and screened 26 articles out of 823, sourced from five databases: Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, Engineering Village, PubMed/MEDLINE and CNKI.ResultsThe articles focus on digital technologies that cater to the daily life, medical care, spiritual comfort, and cultural entertainment needs of rural older people. In our review, we focused on four aspects of digital technology: mobile applications (apps), websites and platforms, mobile devices and terminals, and VR technologies or other unspecified technologies.DiscussionWe found that current digital technologies for smart aging have room for improvement in meeting the recreational and mental comfort needs of older adults. Digital technologies are predominantly applied to the smart community/rural and smart healthcare sectors, with limited applications in the smart home sector. Future studies should explore smart-home older adults care services to address digital cognitive barriers faced by older adults.

Mature-Aged People in the Rural Health Workforce System: A Systems Modelling Approach.

The median age of people in rural areas is older than those living in metropolitan areas. Harnessing the potential of the mature-aged population in rural communities may present a uniquely sustainable approach to strengthening the rural health workforce system. The objective of this study was to map the rural health workforce system in Australia and identify the current and potential role of mature-aged people in the workforce system. Not applicable. Not applicable. Systems thinking, specifically causal loop diagramming. The causal loop diagram illustrates the interrelated variables in the rural health workforce system. It also illustrates that the potential contribution of mature-aged people living in rural communities has been overlooked in the strategies to address the rural workforce undersupply. Health workforces in regional, rural and remote communities in Australia have experienced constant undersupply despite ongoing government and community effort. Novel approaches are required to determine potential strategies to harness the capacity of rural mature-aged people to strengthen the rural health workforce.

Mobile e-Service Carrier (e-Car): Innovating Public Service Delivery in Bangladesh

This study aims to identify effective and efficient methods for enhancing e-governance initiatives in Bangladesh, specifically focusing on improving e-services by simplifying delivery processes. It proposes a Mobile E-Service Carrier (eCar) model to facilitate seamless public service delivery. The main activities of this prototype include raising awareness, organizing exhibitions and fairs, facilitating birth registrations, publishing public examination results, setting up mobile photo labs, showcasing sports matches, providing access to land records, organizing drama exhibitions, and supporting human resource development. The study explores the potential for transforming governance by improving accessibility for the poorest segments of the population and seeks to raise awareness among government agencies about citizens' needs. It suggests a paradigm shift in public service delivery by bringing services directly to citizens' doorsteps and connecting people in rural areas. In this model, service providers or agencies are expected to reach out to citizens instead of requiring citizens to visit the agencies. This approach could empower individuals while making government agencies more attuned and responsive to the needs of the people. Finally, this could lead to more effective e-governance and inspire a new era of public service delivery.

Multidimensional comparative analysis of the number of students in Poland with the view to the demographic crisis and its impact on social security

ObjectivesThe article presents the original multidimensional comparative analysis of the number of students in terms of their population in Poland with the view to the demographic crisis and its impact on the acceptable level of social security. The demographic low in Poland is one of the largest in the European Union and the largest after the Second World War.Material and methodsThe research would be based mainly on the analysis of available studies and materials enabling the review and organization of information concerning the demographic crisis, the transformation of the family model and the reorganization of the education system. Primary research focused on statistical analyzes of total fertility rate, including births and deaths, marriages and divorces, and the number of children in educational institutions.ResultsPrimary data on the number of students were grouped into voivodeships, school types and compared with the population in particular age groups. Additionally, the human population was divided into two groups of dependent variables: the number of people in cities and rural areas - men and women in particular age groups. The lack of a symmetrical distribution between the number of women and men in Poland is particularly visible in the group over 62 years of age.ConclusionsThe visible decline in the number of students in particular age groups from 0 to 19 years in institutions such as kindergartens, primary and secondary schools compared to the current number of people constituting the Polish workforce in particular age groups from 20 to 65 years indicates a reduction in the number in the future employees in every sector of the economy. That, as a result, will have a direct impact on both state finances and the education system in Poland, which will be reduced by teaching staff and students dynamically.

AYURVEDA MANAGEMENT OF MEDO DUSTHI W.S.R. TO DYSLIPIDEMIA- A CONCEPTUAL STUDY

The Medo Roga disease has expanded throughout India as the nation's economy grows. Our everyday diet has an impact on how healthy we are. However, the Medo Roga spreads more quickly since many individuals want to eat more and exercise less. Nowadays, a stressed lifestyle, increased junk food intake, and changing lifestyles are all contributing factors to the rise in obesity. Recent research indicates that 15-20% of people in rural areas and 25- 30% of subjects in metropolitan areas have high cholesterol. Compared to high-income countries, this prevalence is lower in low-income countries. Numerous lifestyle disorders, including osteoarthritis, dyslipidaemia, hyperlipidaemia, and malnutrition, may be brought on by this detrimental health effect. Dyslipidaemia is a significant lifestyle condition in today's fast-paced environment. Our classics have extensively detailed the consequences and perils of Medo Vikriti. Aaharatmak, Viharatmak, Manasika, and other etiological factors like Bijabhava (hereditary) are among the many causes of Medoroga, which is essentially an Agni imbalance. Ayurvedic literature does not use the term dyslipidaemia; instead, they identify the attributes of Sneha Dravya as Medodhatu.

Disease Segmentation in Purple Sweet Potato Images Using Yolov7

Purple sweet potato is a very important plant in many parts of the world and a major crop in tropical and subtropical climates. Its cultivation can significantly increase production and consumption, and it is beneficial for the nutritional status of people in both rural and urban areas. However, purple sweet potatoes are susceptible to disease outbreaks, which can cause substantial losses to the agricultural industry. To prevent the spread of these diseases and minimize financial losses, it is crucial for farmers to identify purple sweet potato diseases as early as possible. Utilizing deep learning technology to separate areas of purple sweet potatoes marked with disease can effectively address this problem. In this study, researchers employed a segmentation method using the YOLOv7 algorithm. The study's results demonstrated a mean Average Precision (mAP) value of 98.6% from a dataset of 1500 images, divided into two classes: healthy sweet potatoes and diseased sweet potatoes with tuber rot. The mAP value for healthy sweet potatoes was 96.1%, while the mAP for diseased sweet potatoes with tuber rot was 98.6%. The YOLOv7 method, therefore, produces high accuracy values for the segmentation of purple sweet potato diseases. This research significantly contributes to agriculture by enhancing the productivity and quality of sweet potato harvests and can assist farmers in improving the efficiency and sustainability of purple sweet potato production.

Views and experiences of young people on using mHealth platforms for sexual and reproductive health services in rural low-and middle-income countries: A qualitative systematic review.

In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), reproductive health programs use mobile health (mHealth) platforms to deliver a broad range of SRH information and services to young people in rural areas. However, young people's experiences of using mobile phone platforms for SRH services in the rural contexts of LMICs remains unexplored. This review qualitatively explored the experiences and perceptions of young people's use of mobile phone platforms for SRH information and services. This qualitative evidence synthesis was conducted through a systematic search of online databases: Medline, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo and Scopus. We included peer reviewed articles that were conducted between 2000 to 2023 and used qualitative methods. The methodological quality of papers was assessed by two authors using Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) and Confidence in Evidence from Reviews of Qualitative research (CERQual) approach with the identified papers synthesized using a narrative thematic analysis approach. The 26 studies included in the review were conducted in a wide range of LMIC rural settings. The studies used seven different types of mHealth platforms in providing access to SRH information and services on contraception, family planning, sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) education. Participant preferences for use of SRH service platforms centred on convenience, privacy and confidentiality, as well as ease and affordability. High confidence was found in the studies preferencing text messaging, voice messaging, and interactive voice response services while moderate confidence was found in studies focused on phone calls. The overall constraint for platforms services included poor and limited network and electricity connectivity (high confidence in the study findings), limited access to mobile phones and mobile credit due to cost, influence from socio-cultural norms and beliefs and community members (moderate confidence in the study findings), language and literacy skills constraints (high confidence in the study findings). The findings provide valuable information on the preferences of mHealth platforms for accessing SRH services among young people in rural settings in LMICs and the quality of available evidence on the topic. As such, the findings have important implications for health policy makers and implementers and mHealth technology platform developers on improving services for sustainable adoption and integration in LMIC rural health system.

Dental Clinic Deserts in the US: Spatial Accessibility Analysis

Little is known about the spatial accessibility to dental clinics across the US. To map the spatial accessibility of dental clinics nationally and to examine the characteristics of counties and US Census block groups with dental care shortage areas. Cross-sectional study of US dental clinics in 2023 using data from the IQVIA national practitioners' database, which includes 205 762 active dentists. Data were analyzed from November 2023 to April 2024. Socioeconomic characteristics of block groups and counties including rurality, area deprivation, racial and ethnic segregation, and uninsured population. Enhanced 2-step floating catchment area method with a 30-minute drive time impedance was used to calculate the accessibility score to dental clinics at the block group level. The outcomes were dental clinic shortage areas and inequality in access to dental clinics. Nearly 1.7 million people in the US (0.5%) lacked access to dental clinics within a 30-minute drive. This included 0.9 million male (52.2%), 1.2 million White (71.0%), 52 636 Black (3.0%), and 176 885 Hispanic (10.2%) individuals. Approximately 24.7 million people (7.5%) lived in dental care shortage areas (defined as <1 dentist per 5000 population). There was a significant difference in spatial accessibility scores between rural and urban areas, with 1 dentist for every 3850 people in rural areas and 1 dentist for every 1470 people in urban areas. Additionally, there were 387 counties with significant disparities in access to dental clinics. Rural block groups (23.9 percentage points [pp]; 95% CI, 23.6-24.3), block groups with higher levels of Black (1.5 pp; 95% CI, 1.3-1.7) and Hispanic (4.5 pp; 95% CI, 4.3-4.8) segregation, and block groups with the highest levels of area deprivation (5.5 pp; 95% CI, 5.1-5.9) were more likely to experience dental care shortages compared with urban block groups and those with lower levels of segregation and area deprivation. Moreover, rural counties (11.3 pp; 95% CI, 8.9-13.7), counties with a high uninsured population (3.0 pp; 95% CI, 1.5-4.4), and counties with high levels of deprivation (5.8 pp; 95% CI, 2.1-9.5) were more likely to have inequality in access to dental clinics. In this cross-sectional study of US dental clinics, there was geographic shortage and maldistribution of the dental workforce. These findings can support dental workforce planning efforts at the federal and state levels to encourage dentists to practice in underserved areas to reduce disparities in access to dental care.

Overcoming the Impact of Bird Pests on Rice Yields Using Internet of Things Based YOLO Method

The problem of bird pests has become a serious problem in the sector of agriculture since ancient times. Bird pest attacks, especially sparrows, Church and bondol have a big influence on the quality and quantity of rice produced by farmers. This causes a decline in the economic level of people in rural areas, especially farmers. Traditional methods which are often used by farmers, such as making sounds from used cans stretched using rope can be a temporary solution to this problem, however, as the largest agricultural country in Asia Southeast of course Indonesia should implement progress and very advanced technological developments to help with problems in the agricultural sector. Integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), and Mobile technology Applications to develop a bird pest repellent tool Smart is expected to be a very effective solution. With integration on IoT devices, this tool has the ability to repel bird pests automatically when it detects bird objects. Results It is hoped that this research will provide great benefits and optimize rice harvest so that it can improve the welfare of farmers and Indonesian society as a whole.

The impact of people's creativity and networks on spatial localisation - Locals, multi-locals, newcomers or returnees as an opportunity for civic engagement in rural areas

Rural areas and civic engagement are influenced by ongoing transformation processes. Due to a strong sense of belonging among people in rural areas, along with both historical and emerging engagement structures, civic engagement in these areas plays an important role. This paper deals with spatial localisation through the lens of multi-locals, newcomers or returnees presenting them as an example of potential opportunities for civic engagement. It utilizes theoretical approaches to creativity and engagement as endogenous resources for regional development. By combining the empirical results of two doctoral theses, which used guided qualitative interviews, reflexive photography and egocentric network maps as methods, the paper aims to analyse the extent to which the localisation of multi-locals, newcomers or returnees impacts civic engagement and how rural areas can benefit from civic innovations. The study shows that engagement has different characteristics in rural areas. The personal localisation of volunteers influences the type of engagement. Supra-local engagement offers an opportunity to stay connected and sustain involvement, but "genuine" engagement happens at the local level. The example of multi-locals and engagement in the special field of cultural activities illustrates an opportunity for innovation in rural regions. The multi-locals and the cultural actors, as "strangers" or "newcomers" bring new impressions and skills (from urban areas) to rural regions and communities.

Determination of Twelve Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) Varietal Status to Midge Damage in Hotspot Area of Burkina Faso

Sorghum is a staple food for millions of people in rural areas of Burkina Faso and is the most important crop grown in the three different climatic zones. However, in the Eastern part of the country, its production is considerably reduced by sorghum midge, Stenodiplosis sorghicola (Coquillet, 1898). In this investigation, 12 sorghum varieties were evaluated in midge hotspot areas (Fada) to determine their response to midge damage. A trial was evaluated in hotspot area (Fada) during two years (2022 and 2023) and key traits such as heading time, midge damage and grain yield were measured. Overall, varieties had different plant cycles, different midge damage scores and different grain yield across years, but the varieties performances in the hotspot site were strongly linked to heading time and midge damage. Finally, the tested varieties belonged to 3 varietal statues i.e, early maturing and tolerant, mid maturing and tolerant and late maturing and susceptible as revealed by this study. Early maturing and tolerant group (Kouria, Kapelga and ICSV 1049) was constituted of materials that heading time did not synchronize well with midge egg-laying period and therefore escape insect damage. Mid-maturing and tolerant group (Sariaso 40 and Sariaso 41) were constituted of varieties that heading time synchronized with insect egg-laying period and insect pullulation, but had less damage to grain yield. Those varieties are tolerant and have probably combination of mechanisms that allow them to avoid midge attacks. Late maturing and susceptible group (PR3009B, 014-SB-EPDU-1004, 12B, Sariaso 39, Sariaso 42 and Sariaso 43) are constituted of varieties that headed late with synchronization of glumes opening time to midge egg-laying period. Unfortunately, midge attacks considerably damage their yield. Those varieties are susceptible to the insect.

Hillforts – built by collective action or coercive leadership? Socio-economic and military organization in eastern Norway AD 1–600

In this article, we will examine the socio-economic and military landscape of the Early Iron Age (AD 1–600) in the historical county of Vingulmark, which consisted of the area from Eiker in the west to Bohuslän in the east. Our starting point is hillforts, which are usually interpreted as places of refuge for people in rural areas in times of unrest. In Norway, around 450 hillforts are known, mainly dated to the period AD 200–550. Vingulmark contains 109 of them, thus almost a quarter of the known hillforts. We discuss why there are so many hillforts in Vingulsmark, and the relation between hillforts and central farms / places in Vingulmark. Are the hillforts the result of community solutions in farming communities or was the construction of the hillforts controlled by elites from one or more centres, under threats of coercion? We will assess the hillforts in relation to socio-economic relations, settlement expansion, central farms and central places in a landscape perspective with the application of anarchist theories and collective action theory. Keywords: hillforts, conflict, socio-economic and military organization, communities, leadership

Innovative and best models of palliative and end-of-life care - with focus on rural and remote communities.

The review aims to synthesize the most recent innovative models of palliative care being delivered in rural and remote locations. Worldwide, as the ageing population grows, more people will require palliative care. However, equal availability of high-quality palliative care services remains a significant challenge, particularly in rural and remote communities. Innovative models of palliative care have been developed to address the projected need of people in rural and remote areas. Models that leverage the use of digital healthcare (such as telecare and Artificial Intelligence), the non-specialized palliative care workforce (such as GPs, pharmacists, and family carers), and community driven approaches have demonstrated success in achieving positive palliative care outcomes, such as reduced physical and emotional distress, and family carers feeling more supported. There is a need to support people to remain within their rural and remote communities towards the end-of-life (EOL). While some models of care have been identified to help with this, there continues to be significant difficulties in access to health and social care in rural and remote areas. It is important we build on this research to understand more broadly the models of support for those living in remote and rural communities at the EOL.

An Analysis of the Impact of Self-Help Group Bank Linkage Program on Sustainable Development

India's banking system has advanced its reach to the poorest people in urban and rural areas. It is recognized that their credit requirements are frequent, unpredictable and very small. However, these are crucial for the development of the rural regions. Therefore, the country's banking system has emphasized this area to promote savings and insurance financial products in this target population. Hence, alternative policies, procedures, and systems have been developed to fulfil these people's credit requirements. One such program is Self-help Group Bank Linkage, which is implemented to provide easy microfinance to members of these groups. This paper adopts a qualitative research methodology to discuss the impact of self-help bank linkage programs on sustainable development. This is assessed through a framework of UN’s 17 sustainable development goals. A systematic review has been conducted to determine the effectiveness of this program in attaining these goals in India. The study's results pointed out this program's impact on sustainable development. It has been found to directly and indirectly impact the attainment of many UN sustainable development goals. The study aims to analyze the effectiveness of microfinancing programs in rural India in achieving UN sustainable development goals. Entire rural India is considered for this paper. A qualitative research methodology has been adopted for this paper. Past research work and governmental data have been used to find the impact of self-help bank linkage programs on poverty alleviation. Household incomes have increased, and people have become financially empowered. There is a broader contribution to sustainable development practice and theory with the implementation of this program. People have gained access to better housing, education, clean drinking water, energy and health.

Does import trade liberalization worsen residents' health? Evidence from China.

Health is important to human capital and national sustainable development. Based on the latest Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this paper uses the IVprobit model to test the impact of import trade liberalization on residents' health from the micro-individual perspective and further explores its mechanism. The results indicate that import trade liberalization brings hidden health costs, and that the negative effects on the health of people in eastern China or rural areas, people with a low education background, people under 60 years of age, and women are more significant. In areas with more serious environmental pollution, the health deterioration effect of expanding imports is more obvious. Increasing green coverage and optimizing the quality of public services can effectively alleviate this negative impact. Import trade liberalization does not affect residents' health through income gap, therefore when carrying out import trade liberalization the government should pay greater attention to the health status of the specified groups, adopt various means to improve the ecological and living environments, reduce pollution emissions, optimize the supply of public services, and ultimately improve residents' overall health level.

Estimates of multidimensional poverty and its determinants among older people in rural China: evidence from a multicenter cross-sectional survey

BackgroundIn 2020, China declared that the absolute poverty in the country had been eradicated, but older people in rural areas are deprived in multiple domains. Poverty is multidimensional and involves deprivations in health, social welfare, living standards, and income. This study focused on assessing the poverty status of rural older persons and providing a basis for decision-making at all levels of government in China.MethodsA multicenter cross-sectional survey was conducted in four rural areas of China. Individuals aged 60 years and older were selected through stratified sampling. People with aphasia and severe cognitive impairment were excluded. An electronic questionnaire was used to collect older people’s information, including basic demographics, major illnesses, disabilities, chronic diseases, functional disorders, and ability to perform activities of daily living. It also asked about the medical, financial, and social security assistance that respondents received, food and clothing standards, safe housing, clean energy, safe drinking water, and reliable electricity. Specific questions were asked regarding income sufficiency, financial support from children, and pension income. Multidimensional poverty measurements were used to compare regional disparities and indicators differences. Logistic regression was used to identify the risk factors influencing poverty.ResultsA total of 1272 older people were analyzed. Of them, 704 (55.35%) were women and 652 (51.26%) were aged between 60 and 69 years. The most frequently mentioned causes of poverty were illness, a lack of employment, inadequate technology, and poor transportation. We found that as multidimensional poverty indicators increased (from 6 to 10), the number of poor older people decreased (from 1218 to 437), as did the poverty incidence (from 95.75 to 34.36%) and multifaceted poverty index (from 53.41 to 25.06%). Xuanwei had the highest incidence of poverty (66.61%) and multidimensional poverty index (0.66) among the four provinces studied. Regarding the contribution of indicators, financial alleviation made the greatest contribution to multidimensional poverty among rural older adults (up to 70.51%). Age, marital status, education level, awareness of poverty alleviation policies, and region were significant predictors of multidimensional poverty among older rural residents(P < 0.05).ConclusionsChina’s subsidy system and financial support must be enhanced. Particular attention should be given to the re-education of rural older individuals, basic vocational education should be strengthened in rural areas, and social participation should be encouraged.

Does the Special Allocation Fund Reduce Rural Poverty?

This study aims to analyze the effect of special allocation funds for thematic poverty reduction assignments in the fields of water, sanitation, and the field of settlement and housing on poverty in rural areas. The data collected by secondary data is number of poor people in rural areas is accessed through the BPS website, and special allocation funds for thematic poverty reduction assignments in the fields of water, sanitation, and settlement and housing are collected by accessing the Simtrada website (Information System Transfer to Regions and Village Funds) https://djpk.kemenkeu.go.id//simtrada/. The population of 34 provinces and the sample of 25 provinces in Indonesia that experienced a decrease in rural poverty were analyzed in this research. The data were analyzed by multiple regression analysis techniques. The results showed that special allocation funds for thematic poverty reduction assignments in the water sectors, and in the field of sanitation sector, did not significantly affect poverty reduction, (sig p-value 0.461&gt;0.05 and sig p-value 0.751 &gt; 0.05 respectively). The value of special allocation funds for thematic poverty reduction assignments in the field of the housing sector had a significant effect on reducing rural poverty (sig p-value (0.007&lt; 0.05). This study recommends that poverty reduction funds in rural areas, especially in the field of housing, continue to be distributed and managed appropriately, so that poverty in rural areas is alleviated.

"Kuteteza": A community-engaged COVID-19 Prevention and Protection Initiative in Southern Malawi.

The COVID-19 epidemic in Malawi involved almost 90,000 recorded cases and 2,638 deaths. In response to early concerns about vulnerable older people in rural areas, we developed 'Kuteteza': a COVID-19 mitigation response project. Clinicians, public health professionals, and researchers collaborated with government and district-level staff in two Southern Malawi districts. Interventions included supported 'shielding' of older people - minimising social mixing whilst having their daily needs supported. Additional mitigation strategies included provision of masks, handwashing stations, and soap. Government partnerships allowed additional support for vulnerable groups. We present the findings of a realist project evaluation, assessing the feasibility of this approach. We collated anonymised descriptive data on Kuteteza procedures and conducted qualitative structured observations in villages involved in the initiative. We carried out three focus groups involving community members, frontline health staff, and volunteers in each setting. These provided deeper insights into experiences of the pandemic and impacts of the intervention, including suggested opportunities during future outbreaks. The project involved 25 villages across two districts, with 1,087 people over the age of 60 voluntarily participating in 'shielding'. Supplies of food, water, and cooking fuel were mostly arranged within the family. In Kuteteza villages, the handwashing stations and soap were widely used, and there was awareness and some observance of COVID-19 prevention measures. The project, including the provision of supplies, was greatly appreciated by communities, but wider contextual constraints - namely widespread economic insecurity - presented persisting challenges. Suggestions for improvement largely concerned project enhancements and extensions. Through effective stakeholder engagement and contribution to national response strategy, the Kuteteza project helped raise COVID-19 awareness and supported populations at a critical time in the pandemic. Kuteteza approaches were welcomed locally and may be incorporated in future epidemic responses. Supported 'shielding' should be paired with government-led measures to mitigate economic hardship.

Promotion du métier d’agripreneur : clé de la relance du secteur agricole en R.D. Congo

Despite its immense agricultural potential (arable land, rivers, climate, etc.), the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) remains a poor country. Unemployment among young people in rural areas, with or without qualifications, is as high as 80%. Yet agriculture could employ over 60% of the population and contribute to the country's food security. This agriculture must be professional, which is where the agripreneur concept comes from. The agripreneur profession can only succeed if technical and financial support structures are put in place. That's what this article is about.

Peningkatan Literasi Finansial Berkelanjutan Melalui Edukasi Dan Pendampingan Dalam Pengelolaan Keuangan Masyarakat Desa Jayaraga

Financial literacy is an essential skill that the community needs to possess in order to achieve economic well-being. However, there are still many people in rural areas with low financial literacy levels, including in Jayaraga Village. This research aims to enhance financial literacy sustainably through seminars, workshops, case studies, and focus group discussions. The method used in this research is a participatory approach, where the community is actively involved in every stage of the activities, from basic financial literacy training to assistance in implementing good financial practices. The results of the study indicate an increase in the community's understanding of basic financial concepts, including budgeting, debt management, and simple investments. In addition, this program has also succeeded in raising public awareness about the importance of financial literacy in achieving family economic stability. With continuous education and guidance, it is hoped that the financial literacy of the people in Jayaraga Village can continue to develop and have a positive impact on the local economy.
