Labour-Market Developments at a Time of Heightened Uncertainty
These are testing times for labour-market policies in Indonesia. The country faces two major challenges in an unpredictable international and domestic environment: providing people with better, more secure jobs and raising productivity to help raise living standards and reduce poverty. Over the past several months, new global and domestic threats to economic growth have emerged and may hinder progress in jobs and productivity. In the longer term,…
Indonesia’s Overseas Labour Migration Programme, 1969–2010
The management of Indonesian migrant workers abroad has been a fraught issue in social and economic policy for several decades. More than any other field of labour policy, it pits the public and pr
On the Politics of Migration
Migration has been an important factor in Indonesian economic and social change over the past half century, especially given the continuing extreme population densities in Java and the population i
Workers, Unions and Politics
This is a fine sequel to John Ingelson's 1986 book In Search of Justice: Workers and Unions in Colonial Java, 1908–1926. I am in awe of Ingelson's ability to pick up some of the themes of his first

Labour Migration and Human Trafficking in Southeast Asia
This book is an important contribution to an understanding of migration, warts and all, in Southeast Asia. Although the editors and the authors are not economists, it should be of interest to econo
Do migrants get stuck in the informal sector? Findings from a household survey in four Indonesian cities
This article compares labour-market outcomes for individuals in migrant and non-migrant households in Indonesia. It introduces two new work-status groups – small-business operators and formal-casual or contract employees – in an effort to transcend the usual formal–informal distinction. We find that long-term migrants (LTMs) tend to gravitate to the small-business sector and to jobs with regular wages, whereas recent and very recent migrants are …
Community-Derived Indicator Domains for Social Resilience to Water Quality Decline in a Great Barrier Reef Catchment, Australia
Catchment-derived pollution of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, is instigating the development of novel policy, including community assessments and monitoring of their own resilience to water quality decline. This article explores community perspectives of social resilience to changing water quality in local waterways, and potential indicator domains for framing community-derived indicators. In a regional case study in northern Australia, we in…

Survey of recent developments
There is a growing confidence in policy, business and finance circles about Indonesia's ability to withstand global economic and financial shocks, and a renewed belief in domestic sources of growth. Despite uncertainty in Europe and slower than expected recovery in the US, Indonesia is well placed for moderately high growth in the medium term, and economic stability in the shorter term. At the end of June 2011, foreign reserves were at a record h…
Jamie Mackie
With the passing of Jamie Mackie in April 2011, the intellectual and policy community in Australia lost a scholar, mentor and advocate who charted understandings of Indonesia, Southeast Asia and Australia's relations with Asia for over half a century. Mackie provided effective leadership and quiet inspiration for the development of Indonesian and Asian studies in three of Australia's top universities and throughout the nation. His intellectual co…
The Great Migration
This fascinating study compares and contrasts the immense internal migration movements in China and Indonesia. Over the next two decades, approximately two-thirds of the rural labour force is expected to migrate, transforming their respective societies from primarily rural to urban based
Minimum Wages and Poverty in a Developing Country
The Manpower Law of 2003 and its implementing regulations
This paper reviews Indonesia's Manpower Law 13/2003 and related regulations, against a backdrop of slow employment growth, business concerns about the legislation and government attempts to change it in 2006. The paper focuses on severance rates and dismissals, short-term contracts and out-sourcing, and minimum wages, also briefly discussing other articles, and comparing the law with those in neighbouring countries. It suggests that certain artic…
Survey of recent developments
By June 2006, the government had largely completed the difficult tasks of stabilising macroeconomic conditions following the October 2005 fuel price increases, and of drawing up a blueprint to improve infrastructure and the investment climate. On the macroeconomic front, the main issues related to how, and how quickly, the economy could return to the growth rates of late 2004 and early 2005, given still low levels of private and public investment…
Labour market dimensions of poverty in Indonesia
This paper focuses on labour market issues relevant to poverty alleviation. Patterns of participation, unemployment and employment are examined among the poor compared with the non-poor in general, among urban and rural households, and among various socio-demographic groups. Using data from the 2002 National Socio-Economic Survey, the paper finds that low participation in the workforce and high unemployment, while important, are less closely rela…

Labour Market Adjustment to Indonesia's Economic Crisis
This paper focuses on labour market adjustment during the economic crisis of 1997–98. It shows how labour processes help explain better outcomes for the poor than were initially predicted. The Indonesian experience is viewed in a framework that contrasts two extreme models: a Keynesian world of rigid real wages, and a neoclassical situation of flexible adjustment to economic shocks. It was found that the Indonesian case is more consistent with th…

Structural Change and Industrial Relations During the Soeharto Period an Approaching Crisis
This paper examines the evolution of the Indonesian industrial relations system and labour welfare in the New Order period, giving special attention to labour policies and unrest in the 1980s and early 1990s. The tightly controlled industrial relations system which emerged after 1965 is contrasted with the labour activism of the Sukarno era. It is argued that the greater de facto freedoms granted to industrial labour in recent years are an inevit…
Choosy Youth or Unwanted Youth? A Survey of Unemployment
This paper examines structure and change in unemployment in Indonesia from the 1970s through to 1996 The analysis focuses on high unemployment rates among urban youth, set in the context of similar problems experienced in other developing countries. It also deals with some of the conceptual and measurement issues. It is concluded that high youth unemployment is partly a queuing phenomenon among middle class families, related to processes of job s…

What has Happened to Wages in the New Order
This paper reviews trends in real wages in Indonesia since the early 1970s. It finds that there has been wage growth in a range of agricultural and non-agricultural sectors. However, growth has been uneven across sectors and for different periods. After the oil boom, wage growth slowed during the second half of the 1980s, although it picked up again in the 1990s. The paper discusses the relationship between various episodes of economic growth and…

Rural Employment Creation in Java
Rapid economic growth has had a favorable impact on employment and incomes in rural Java [Indonesia]. Despite characterization of the island as a classic case of labor surplus and the introduction of labor-displacing technology in rice recent agricultural employment growth has been high by Third World standards. Nonagricultural employment creation has been heavily concentrated in cities. This concentration is attributable to import-substitution-o…

Breastfeeding, Amenorrhea, and Abstinence in a Javanese Village
Factors that contribute to low fertility rates among Javanese women were investigated in a survey of 772 ever-married women in the village of Mojolama. The average duration of breast-feeding was 25.6 months, with the median being just over 26 months. 39% of the women reported that postpartum amenorrhea lasted not quite 27 months. More than 60% of the women believed, for various reasons, that they should abstain from sexual intercourse until weani…

Rural Economic Change and Labour Mobility
The paper uses data from six West Java villages which were surveyed in 1976 and again in 1983 to examine the impact of temporary migration, mainly to urban areas, on the rural economy. It finds that despite substantial increases in rice production in the region in the years under discussion, a large proportion of the extra employment opportunities were in non-agricultural occupations in urban areas. Households from all socio-economic strata appea…
