“…Education as human capital increases workers' abilities and skills, which raises the opportunity to get a higher income and reduces the probability of becoming poor (Arsani et al, 2020). However, Suharyono and Digdowiseiso (2021) and Widyanti (2018) report that education increases the wage gap in Indonesia because the income for educated workers is much higher. In this paper, the workers' odds of becoming poor are getting smaller with increasing levels of education.…”

PurposeThe study’s first aim is to estimate the scale of working poverty using a nationwide household survey. The second aim is to answer the following research questions: is working enough to escape poverty, and what are the determinants of working poverty?Design/methodology/approachThe focus is on working people in Indonesia who have per capita household expenditure below the provincial poverty line. The determinant analysis used logistic regression on the first quarter of 2013 Susenas microdata.FindingsThe study found that the scale of the working poverty problem is equivalent to the scale of the poverty, although the in-work poverty rate is lower than the poverty rate in all provinces. The logistic regression results conclude that the three factors, namely individual-level, employment-related and household-level variables, have significant contributions to the incidence of the working poor in Indonesia.Practical implicationsSome practical implications for reducing the incidence of working poverty are increasing labor earnings through productivity growth and improving workers' skills, encouraging the labor participation of the poor and reducing precarious work. This study also suggests the need to continue assisting the working poor, particularly by increasing access to financial credit.Originality/valueResearch aimed at studying working poverty in Indonesia in the peer-reviewed literature is rare until now based on the authors' search. This study will fill the gap and provoke further research on working poverty in Indonesia.

“…Gender gaps have previously been explored in Asian countries (Deshpande et al ., 2018; Mohanty, 2021; Suharyono and Digdowiseiso, 2021). Yoo (2003) confirms that the gender wage gap in South Korea decreased from 1988 to 1999; however, discrimination against female workers replaced human capital endowment as the main cause of the gender wage gap.…”

The present paper analyzes determinants of earnings and the gender earnings gap among highly educated younger workers from nine major cities in Asian countries. We identify skill premiums for both men and women in each city, such as holding a postgraduate degree or degrees in specific fields and experience working or studying abroad. These results show that competition for earnings among highly educated younger workers has been increasing in these cities. Furthermore, the results reveal that, despite being quite narrow, significant gender gaps do exist; the means of log female earnings in each city range between 95.6 and 97.9 percent of those of men. Individuals having natural science degrees or managerial positions possibly affects these small gender gaps in some cities.

Sexual harassment is identified as a major and hidden public health problem in most institutions/organizations. Sexual harassment is often a hidden problem because victims are usually reluctant to report their experiences. Using data based on interviews and surveys, this study explores the effects of gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, age at enrollment, student status, and time spent at the institution on students' risk of being victims of sexual harassment by peers and faculty/staff, as well as the extent of victimization of students who experience harassment. Then traditional undergraduate students, college students, and gender and sexual minority students were found to be at increased risk of harassment. Being female increases the chances of being sexually harassed by lecturers/staff and peers. Students who have racial minorities reported less sexual harassment, but would experience high pressure from the perpetrators and the surrounding community if they did report. This research is expected to find a way to create policies on cases of violence and sexual harassment in educational institutions.
