Our Expertise
This paper is based on a qualitative survey of three expert respondents in every kecamatan (sub-district) in Indonesia, designed to obtain a quick indication of overall impacts of the Indonesian crisis.
The study explores the community’s understanding of the condition of their welfare and the experiences associated with the ups and downs of welfare.
This note is a preliminary evaluation on how effective the JPS programs have been in achieving their purpose of helping the poor and the needy to cope with the crisis impacts. This is done by assessing the coverage of the programs among the poor as well as how the benefits of the programs have been distributed between the poor and the non-poor.
This note is an update on the social impacts of the Indonesian crisis. In this note we focus exclusively on changes in real household consumption expenditures, as these reflect both actual changes in people's current living standards, and can also serve as a measurable proxy for income changes due to the crisis.
In this study we provide some preliminary evidence about the impact of the economic crisis on household living standards, measured by real consumption expenditures per capita, and the distribution of living standards across households, measured by indices of inequality. Our study has two distinguishing characteristics worth highlighting right from the start.
