This study aims to analyze the impact of government expenditures, gender gap and per capita income on the education and income inequalities of regencies and cities in West Kalimantan Province. This research used secondary data in a form of data panel. These data include time series data for 5 years (2011 -2015) and cross-section data for 14 regencies and cities in West Kalimantan Province. The results showed that the government expenditures and per capita income have significant negative effect on the education inequality. In contrary, gender gap give insignificant positive effect on the education inequality. Furthermore, the education inequality has a significant positive effect on the income inequality.
The election of East Kalimantan as the new capital city is an optimistic momentum for development stakeholders, especially the tourism industry. The analogy, one of the benchmarks in tourism excellence can be assessed from efforts to change the crisis of tourist confidence into collective certainty. This scientific work aims to detect the factors that influence tourist attractiveness in the new IKN. The core of tourist attraction is built through access to information, tourism facilities, value added tourism, tourism tariffs, and market orientation. The case revolves around six destination clusters based on four IKN tourism buffer zones: Archipelago Zero Point, Mentawir Tourism Village, Bangkirai Hill, Pampang Cultural Village, Tanah Merah Beach, and Balikpapan Botanical Garden. Interview data collection involved 438 millennial tourists from domestic and foreign countries. In principle, the linear regression method is applied to investigate the relationship between variables. As a result, facilities, added value, tariffs, and market orientation have a positive impact on tourist attractiveness. Other statistical outputs clarify that access to information actually has no effect on tourist attractiveness. This paper also providing holistic findings on tourism revitalization for the future agenda.
The topic of "IKN" is not just a discourse. This is good news for Indonesia which is trying to be free from prosperity conflicts, which so far have only been concentrated in one area. What is more crucial is that the struggle for economic resources is also always won by regions that have inclusive GRDP growth, competitive workers, and solid infrastructure facilities, especially in Java. This is because regions such as Kalimantan, their economic prospects are sinking because the transformation of consumption and purchasing power is not working. Therefore, this paper initiates the relationship between population, electricity, water production, and regional/GRDP growth in the center of IKN and 4 buffer zones. Systematics in data extraction uses panel regression which presents time-series data (8 periods). Valuable insights conclude some important findings. The population has been proven to increase electricity in PPU, Paser, Balikpapan and Samarinda. Positive causality also indicates the effect of population on water production in PPU and Balikpapan. However, it also influences positively. On the other hand, electric power has a positive impact on economic growth in PPU, while in Paser, water production actually increases economic growth. Population as the only variable that has no effect on economic growth in all cases. Only Kukar has all the opposite variables and has a negative effect. Finally, preparations towards a fair IKN development perspective consider long and short term policy packages.
Objective - Labor is one of the most important factors in production activities. Increased human effort in the production process will increase output, productivity and promote economic growth. This research aims to analyze the condition and potential of labor demand in Pontianak City, analyze job opportunities in Pontianak City and formulate a strategy of labor policy in Pontianak City. Methodology/Technique - The method used is descriptive with quantitative analysis which a qualitative interpretation. The data used is secondary data and related documents for data enrichment. Findings - The results show that: labor demand is showing an increasing trend year by year, increasing employment absorption from 233,788 in 2010 to 244,236 in 2014. The rate of absorption growth occurs primarily in the agriculture, building and transportation industries. Employment elasticity in Pontianak City is relatively low at only 0.02% which means the growth of labor absorption is smaller than the increase of economic growth. Novelty - This research shows that employment policy strategies in Pontianak City need to increase the role of Training Center (BLK), the enrichment of nutrition improvement and sustainability, encourage investment, increase competitiveness through increasing labor productivity and increase labor flexibility to the rules among other things. Type of Paper: Empirical. Keywords: Employment Demand; Employment Elasticity; Employment Policy Strategy. JEL Classification: J20, J21, J29.
