“…The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a substantial development framework to encourage development in a global context (Akanle et al, 2022). Seventeen SDGs are targeted for acquisition to support the implementation of the 2030 development agenda (Anderson et al, 2017) and Indonesia is committed to successfully implementing SDGs by achieving such agenda (Bappenas, 2019).…”

The lack of practices of Curriculum Merdeka cause science teachers to worry about the results, especially related to environmental awareness. As such, this study aimed at exploring the role of biotechnology learning with embedded sustainable development goals (SDGs) to accomplish the academic purposes of the curriculum. In doing so, Pre-service Science Teachers (PSTs) were required to develop projects in biotechnology as well as problem-solving skills to be induced into their teaching competencies. This study used one-group pre-test and post-test design and involved twenty PSTs as participants. The parameters were perception, knowledge, and development of scientific projects. The instruments consisted of questionnaire, paper-pencil test, and rubrics. The data were then analysed in a descriptive manner. The results showed that most students perceived that biotechnology learning provides access to sustainability in human life. Also, there is a significant increase of student knowledge about innovating science with P-value of 0.00<0.05. For scientific projects, students in groups successfully created five titles in relation to SDGs issues, such as food nutrients, agricultural pests, fish-pond management, dengue fever control, and water quality. In terms of learning outcomes and themes, the contents within PSTs projects are relevant to two learning outcomes and four different project themes of Curriculum Merdeka, including lifestyle for sustainability, technology to support Indonesia, entrepreneurship, and local wisdom. Therefore, there is potential to bring PSTs projects to practice Curriculum Merdeka.

“…As a rule, there is a fair amount of agreement in societies that all people are born free and equal (Rodrigues and Cabete 2022). In order to ensure the meaningful and sustainable development of society, it has become increasingly necessary to see that equality is a primary goal in every facet of the process across all areas of social development (Akanle et al 2022).…”

Through its legislation fixed in its Constitution, South Africa has made great strides towards inclusion and equality for the marginalised. However, the gap between the rich and the poor has continued to widen. Elitism and privilege are as old as human existence and will continue in the future. This study will examine the political climate of class capitalism as a threat to human security. This article examines the impact of neo-liberal policy reform aimed at ensuring transformation and development, through an exploration of South Africa's Broad Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE) policies. Through its conceptual framework, intersectional theory explores hierarchy dominated by intersectional challenges that are connected to race, class, and gender and remain tied to power and privilege. Based on the findings of the study, South Africa's post-liberation period instilled class divides that reinforced systems, processes and legacies of the past that still dominate the state and its people. Further, the study questions whether affluence and elitist politics create unequal distributions of resources, which contribute to human security threats within the region, including mass poverty, which impacts the lives of the vast majority of South Africans. There are clear winners and losers in South Africa as a result of capitalism and nationalistic discourses. It is confirmed in representations and categories across races, classes, and genders that exist in South Africa's emerging class capitalism. In this paper, an intersectional study suggests that black African females remain highly stereotyped within hegemony, hierarchy, class, and social representations.

“…It suggests that economic growth is one of the essential factors for determining the strength and progress of an economy (Suri et al, 2011;Thirlwall, 2003;Van Stel et al, 2005). Growth has occurred in several regions across the globe, several low-income nations have accelerated rapidly, and millions of individuals have been elevated from impoverishment (Agyeman et al, 2022b;Akanle et al, 2022). The proponents of standard growth theory (SGT) posit that impoverished economies will expand faster and catch up to affluent economies (Gould & Ruffin, 1993;Larson et al, 2016).…”

“…The highest costs are 17.7%, which could be observed from South Africa to Angola and South Africa to Swaziland, respectively (Barne & Pirlea, 2019). This pattern of remittance charges has made the United Nations (UN) recognise the importance of remittances to attaining SDGs (Akanle et al, 2022). These benefits derived from remittances have made the UN seek solutions to the higher transaction costs associated with remittances.…”

“…COVID-19 pandemic as a global health risk has transformed the lives of many individuals, economies, and businesses, urging government and policymakers in many regions to re-examine how living conditions would be adjusted in the new normal (Ataguba, 2020; Forman & Mossialos, 2021). COVID-19, as a multifaceted calamity, has influenced the world phenomenon that the United Nations (UN) directly reversing nations’ hard gains earned toward the sustainable development goals (SDGs) (Akanle et al, 2022), necessitating multiple combinations of policy initiatives to revamp economic growth and provide remedies to respond, significantly influencing extant services and infrastructure (UNDP, 2020). Thus, the merits of economic development through enhanced technology and innovation have been emphasised as a critical tool to achieve the SDGs in 2030 (European Commission et al, 2016; Senise et al, 2021).…”

Economic Contagion and the Repercussion on Remittances: Evidence from Low and Middle-Income Economies

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease in 2019 (COVID-19) wreaked havoc on the social, psychological, economic, and political buoyancy of all economic activities worldwide. The economic challenges caused by the interruption in worldwide economic activities significantly impacted remittances flow to low- and middle-income economies (LMIEs). This study used the past, present, and predicted remittances data of migration dynamics within countries to analyse the economic impact on remittances. Remittances to most LMIEs plunged during the pandemic intense period; however, the decline was temporary as the flows increased due to countrywide policies and individuals’ emergent needs. The trend of economic contagion is fundamentally unique in that even the primary source of remittance sending nations have been greatly impacted. The global nature of this pandemic raises numerous questions, including whether the decline in remittances will continue for a short term or will last for an extended period to stagnate LMIEs. This current study’s results reveal that while remittances flow to key recipient nations declined between 2019 and 2020, there has not been a sharp decrease and most of the nations were on the path of recovery in 2021. This study proposes that policymakers support remittances flow on a higher growth trend in successive years based on Sustainable Development Goals to attain global inclusive development. This research further recommends the adoption of higher technology transfer of remittances of migrant workers within the emerging and low- and middle-income economies.
