“…Table 5 shows the type of accommodation available when I first came to Jakarta. Noteworthy changes are a reduction of "friends' room," and a sharp increase in the number of "with family's home" which is in line with the findings by Qibthiyyah and Utomo (2016). Those who sleep on the becak have also increased (Azuma, 1994;2000).…”

“…Becak driving was once a typical circular migrant occupation, but improving access to Kontrakan in urban squatting changed their migration pattern. Nowadays, they live with their spouses and remit money to children in their home village (Qibthiyyah & Utomo, 2016). This is also an increasing trend and compulsory acquisition of land by authorities (Gusuran Tanah) has become more crucial.…”

“…The rent for Kontrak cost a minimum of Rp 10,000 a month in 1998 and jumped to a mean of Rp 300,000 in 2014-2015, so those who reside in the Kontrak are likely to reduce their frequency of return. Also, "the increasing proportion of dual-earner families" may be another cause of this phenomenon (Qibthiyyah & Utomo, 2016).…”

The Becak (a manpowered tricycle taxi) was exported to major Indonesian cities via China from Yokohama in the 1930s. During the mid-20th century they spread throughout the major cities of Asia, and came to be used as a vehicle for daily use. However, since the 1970s, growing traffic congestion caused by an increase in the number of motorcycles and cars, has pushed the becak into the back streets of cities. In the case of Indonesia, government came to strictly prohibit them through the perception that they were a symbol of backwardness and they have gradually disappeared from the city. This culture of viewing becak as a symbol of backwardness has remained ingrained over the decades. In Jakarta, they were banned from use in lanes and back-alleys to finally disappear from public view through a brutal clearance method known as 'becak hunting' (crackdowns) in 1992. However, they re-emerged on Jakarta's streets during the chaos after Suharto's resignation in 1998. Governor Sutiyoso at the time banned them anew, yet democratic transformation through the rise of civil society did not tolerate subsequent crackdowns As of 2016, hundreds of becak vehicles now plow the streets of Jakarta, mainly concentrated in back-alley neighbourhoods. Based on primary data sources gathered over a 30-year period (1989, 1998, and 2011-2015), this paper examines socioeconomic transformation and continuity and investigates the extent in which the changing political economy of Jakarta affects drivers' accessibility. Furthermore, the paper forecasts the survival strategies of becak drivers under ungoing policy changes and the positions of previous and present Governors.

“…Di mana perubahan pola pendidikan menjadi variabel penting dalam melihat pergeseran antar-generasi dalam transisi menuju dunia kerja dan pernikahan. Peningkatan partisipasi dan durasi waktu dalam domain pendidikan (Parker and Nilan 2013) mengharuskan para pemuda untuk lebih lama bertransisi ke domain lainnya. Dalam konteks pernikahan misalnya terlihat pada perubahan tren usia pada pernikahan pertama (Hull 2003;Jones 2007; Qibthiyyah and Utomo 2016) dan proses pencarian pasangan (Smith-Hefner 2005; Tsutsui 2013) serta pergeseran peran di rumah tangga (Nilan 2008;Utomo 2012) sebagai dampak dari perubahan sosial tersebut.…”

Economic development and social-political change in Indonesia have been accompanied by wider education access especially for women. These have resulted in a number of profound inter-generational shifts in the process of transition to work and marriage – one of them is a trend toward self-choice marriage. This study uses qualitative methods in particular in-depth interviews and focus group discussion as data collection techniques. By combining two theoretical lenses of generation change and post-feminism, this article explores the practice and meaning of choices in the quest for an ideal husband, through exploring the subjective narrative of four young women. All informants have their own point of views about the ideal partner criteria, thus representing uniqueness and diversity of contemporary generation. Terms such as pious, responsible and economically-established are still considered important in their imagination, however, the most essential for an ideal partner is a prospective man who can negotiate between work role, family and tradition in the context of late modernity. It can be argued that those views are frequently influenced by existing normative values of family and neighbourhood showing that ‘feminist consciousness’ is still a privilege.

“…Studies that focus on community-level characteristics also consider the average human resource development, access to employment, social mobility, and representation as the representative of community variables that affect poverty (Greenstein, Gentilini, & Sumner, 2014;Malik, Mahmood-Ul-Hassan, & Hussain, 2006;Yeoh, Ling, & Shy, 2012). At household and individual characteristics, many studies include the age structure of household members, education, the gender of the household head, and the extent of participation in the labor force as variables that have a significant effect on poverty (Beard, 2007;Okurut & Charles, 2014;Qibthiyyah & Utomo, 2016). In poverty studies, the survey also includes the type of food, water resources, health condition, and assets possession as the variables (Biltonen & Dalton, 2003;Hammer & Spears, 2016).…”

Decentralization is expected to reduce poverty. Through fiscal decentralization, poverty may be reduced by optimizing intergovernmental grants. However, its effect on poverty is beginning to be questioned after some districts in Indonesia showed slowing performance on poverty reduction despite increasing transfer. Thus, this paper tends to investigate the linkage of intergovernmental transfer (IT) and poverty in Indonesia. By using panel data from 2005 to 2013, the linkage is tested using linear regression model. The result shows that increasing 1% of IT allocation will reduce poverty absolute by 0.12%, or 10% increase of IT will reduce poverty by 1.24%. The intergovernmental transfer also directly affects poverty gap and poverty rate. Increasing 10% of IT will reduce the poverty gap and poverty rate by 9.49% and 31.73%, respectively. Moreover, DAU (unconditional intergovernmental transfer) has a higher effect than DAK (conditional intergovernmental transfer) on poverty eradication. An increase of DAU by 1% will reduce the poverty number by 0.068%, in contrast, DAK only has 0.0418% to reduce poverty. However, as the difference is relatively small, the effectiveness of DAU on poverty is not consistent with the decentralization theory. Unconditional grant must have a significant difference than conditional grant on poverty. It may indicate that the DAU has been spent ineffectively and inefficiently. It may also indicate that it has been spent on not pro-poor policies. Thus, fiscal decentralization in Indonesia needs to be reevaluated in order to support poverty alleviation program.
