This study aims to evaluate the socioeconomic conditions of poor women and their households and to assess the changes of poor women’s access to basic services.
Indonesia has experienced several economic slowdowns and crises leading to mass layoffs, the most recent being in 2014–2015 in which 26,000 people were dismissed from their jobs. Despite the existence of employment social security and health insurance programs, Indonesia still does not have an insurance scheme protecting the unemployed against poverty and assisting them before reemployment.
This paper endeavors to understand how Indonesian new-developmental state addresses gender equality and women’s empowerment in its effort to institutionalize the participatory approach into the state bureaucracy.
