Building Family Resilience Through Phylantrophy and Populist Policies to Cope The Covid-19 Pandemic in Indonesia

Abstract

Family resilience is an essential factor to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic. This study aims to identify various efforts, from the state to the family, as the smallest unit in society, to build their strength during the crisis. This research was carried out through two methods, survey, and discourse analysis. The results explain that building family resilience during the pandemic can be realized only when relationships as social capital are developed by the society and the state in the cultural and structural dimensions. The cultural dimension is characterized by the emergence of institutionalized social philantropyh. This perspective is reflected by religious and social philanthropy, as well as personal and communal philanthropy. Meanwhile, the structural dimension is reflected by populist policies were issued by local, provincial, and central government policies.

Additionally, most of these instances were accompanied by narratives infused with hate speech directed towards the government or encompassed elements of ethnicity, religion, race, and intergroup dynamics.…”
