Covid-19 and South Asia: An overview

With an estimated 6.9 million deaths worldwide and the deepest recession since World War II, the pandemic had diverse regional impacts.

A Critique of the Orthodox Approach to Indonesia's Growth and Employment Problems and Post Keynesian Alternatives: A Critique of the Orthodox Approach to Growth & Employment
Indonesia continues to bear the scars of the 1997 financial crisis, with the highest open unemployment rate in Southeast Asia. The orthodox interpretation is that the post-crisis era is typified by overly generous labor legislation granting higher minimum wages and other provisions; the rise in real wages adversely impacted the investment climate and employment growth. However, detailed sectoral analysis reveals very little evidence of a wage-dri…
Indonesia's Employment Challenges: Growth, Structural Change and Labour Market Rigidity
Indonesia continues to bear the scars of the 1997 financial crisis, with the highest open unemployment rate in Southeast Asia. The orthodox interpretation is that the post-crisis era in Indonesia is typified by overly generous labour legislation that has seen an aggressive pursuit of minimum wages and other provisions. The consequent rise in real wages adversely impacted the investment climate and impeded employment growth in the formal sector. D…
Neo-liberalism and East Asia: Resisting the Washington Consensus
This paper explores the way neoliberal ideas have been promoted and resisted in East Asia. The core argument of this paper is that the contest of ideas in economic policymaking can evolve independently of their intellectual merit and empirical credibility. Political interests shape and mediate the process. In the case of post-crisis East Asia, the notion that the political economies of the region need to be fundamentally reformed to re-ignite the…
The Newly Industrializing Economies of East Asia
The phenomenal success of the East Asian Newly Industrializing Economies (NIEs) of Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore is now well-known and documented. Their success has been discussed to such an extent that it has become entrenched as part of the folklore of development economics. The Newly Industrializing Economies of East Asia takes a fresh look at the relevant literature and sifts the rhetoric from the reality. In the course of surveying…

Poverty, Vulnerability and Social Protection in a Period of Crisis: The Case of Indonesia
Beyond Labour Market Flexibility: Issues and Options for Post-Crisis Indonesia
This paper argues that the notion of labour market flexibility represents an inadequate framework for understanding the challenges faced by a democratic Indonesia in the post-crisis period. Such challenges entail the need to nourish employment-intensive recovery, developing a credible and cordial industrial relations system and empowering workers to cope with the problems of vulnerability and risk that are inherent in any globally-oriented market…
Labour Market Adjustment to Indonesia's Economic Crisis: A Comment
In a recent contribution to this journal, Manning (2000: 106) offers an analy tical framework that, he argues , enables him to demonstrate why ‘unemployment and the incidence of poverty did not rise more than they did during the (Indonesian) crisis’. The crux of his discussion rests on the notion of labour market flexibility. In enunciating his propositions, the author makes some references to a study conducted by the ILO (International Labour Or…

The Institutional and Political Framework of Growth in an Ethnically Diverse Society: The Case of Malaysia
This paper classifies Malaysia as an enigmatic case, because it is regarded as one of the “miracle” economies of the world despite an ambitious affirmative action program that was vulnerable to the risk of deterring the growth process. Critics have rightly pointed out the predictable microeconomic distortions of Malaysia's “New Economic Policy,” but such distortions were not significant enough to impair economic performance. This paper argues tha…

Spatial Patterns of Inequality and Poverty in Indonesia
The paper uses data from the 1976 Household Expenditure Survey (Susenas) to examine spatial patterns of poverty and inequality in Indonesia. A number of inequality measures are computed for each province (Gini Ratio. Atkinson Index, Theil Index, L-Index) and provincial rankings according to each index are compared. Provinces are also ranked according to a number of poverty indexes, using a poverty line adjusted for differences in price levels, be…
Socio‐Economic Progress In Indonesia Under The New Order: An Assessment
It is commonly agreed that Indonesia under the New Order (that is, since 1965) has enjoyed rapid economic growth, providing a marked contrast to the disruptive years of the mid-sixties when per capita real income growth was slightly negative. Per capita real GDP growth peaked in the mid-seventies to an impressive 6 per cent per annum. Since then, aggregate growth has moderated somewhat, but a rate of 5 per cent per annum ? averaged over 1975-80 ?…
