    Economic mobility especially an expansion of the middle class will dominate the future of Indonesia's development agenda. Observing five waves of the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS), we found that: 1) the poverty rate ($3.2 PPP/day) has decreased significantly from 86.1% (1993) to 20.2% (2014), while the size of middle-class has grown nearly nine times; 2) 34.4% of the poor could climb up to the middle class, but 11.9% are still categorized as chronic poor; 3) 42.3% of the middle class is trapped, unable to climb up to the upper class; 4) the middle and upper class are very fragile and easily dropped into lower classes. Our econometric estimations confirmed that the drivers of economic mobility are educational attainment, formal jobs, water and electricity supply, land ownership, and health investment. These findings suggest that investment in human and physical capital are two main strategies to expand a sizeable middle class.

  3. Intergeneration Poverty Dynamics in Indonesia: Households' Welfare Mobility Before , During, and After the Asian Financial Crisis Reviewed

    When the economic crisis hit in 1998, and economic growth dropped by 13.7 percent; exacerbated by domestic political turbulence, poverty figures sharply rose from 17.47 percent to 24.20 percent. It began to decline again as the economy quickly recovered from the crisis. The above details demonstrate that poverty is not a pure static phenomenon, but rather is dependent on dynamic characteristics that easily change over time. Households could move into (or out of) poverty in response to fluctuations in the economy. This study then aims to analyze the determinants of households' shifting welfare during the periods before, during and after the Asian financial crisis in Indonesia. Applying the spell approach of poverty experience and observing four waves of IFLS (Indonesian Family Life Survey) balanced panel datasets, we find that during 1993-1997 (pre-crisis) households could be classified as chronically poor (6.14 percent), transient poor (-) (6.31 percent), transient poor (+) (10.58 percent) and never poor (76.96 percent). However, during 1997-2000 (crisis), the probability of being transient poor (-) had jumped drastically from 5 percent (pre-crisis) to 14 percent (during the crisis). In the post crisis period, roughly 86 percent of the previously poor households could move out of poverty. This study also confirmed that the probability of being poor in the next period highly depends on past experiences with poverty. Moreover, reducing probability of being chronically poor by about half from 4.6 percent to 2.2 percent needs almost fifteen years. Furthermore, our estimations using the ordered logit model confirm that determinants of poverty dynamics include educational attainment, size of the household, share of education expenditure, distance to public transportation, ownership of livestock and liquid assets, and the impact suffered from earthquakes.

    Aid is good for the poor. Using detailed aid data spanning 60 developing countries over the past two decades, this paper shows that social aid significantly and directly benefits the poorest in society, while economic aid increases the income of the poor through growth. This new and unequivocal finding distinguishes the current study from past studies that only utilized aggregate aid data and returned ambiguous results. This paper also confirms that none of the elements of globalization (trade, foreign direct investment, remittances), policies (government expenditure, inflation management), institutional quality, nor other plausibly pro-poor factors have systematic effects on the poor or any other income group, beyond their effects on average incomes. The paper finds that trade and FDI tend to benefit the richest segments of society more than any other income group. Therefore, the collected evidence suggests that aid can play a crucial role in enabling the poor to benefit more from globalization. These discoveries underscore the need to assist developing countries find that optimal mix of economic and social aid that jointly promote the participation of the poor in the development process under globalization. In this manner, aid can make greater strides in spurring development.

    This article intends to conduct comparative studies of multiple poverty measures by looking into the absolute, relative and subjective poverty incidence in Indonesia. Using the 2005 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), we observed that there was roughly 28 percentage-point difference in the poverty headcount ratios computed by applying the absolute (14.47%) and subjective (42.03%) poverty. Logit and Ordered-Logit models are used to identify determinants of multidimentional poverty.

  6. Poverty-Growth-Inequality Triangle under Globalization: Time Dimensions and the Control Factors of the Impacts of Globalization

    Numerous existing empirical studies agreed that economic integration contributes to poverty reduction on the basis that it accelerates growth `on average,' while being neutral to the distribution of benefits, again `on average.' However, in reality, there exists a number of `dispersion' in these `average' relationships, both from the transnational and chronological aspects. Hence, this research intends to empirically elaborate a `cross-national study' on the `interstate dispersion' of the impact (growth, inequality, and poverty) that international economic integration provides to the developing economies, along with the specific factors that determine the outcome in each nation such as socio-economic institutions and policy stances. Regression analyses are conducted for the major segments of the P-G-I triangle, paying special attention to the time dimensions of the impacts by using S-T, M-T and L-T growth spells.

    This paper surveys findings on the traditional and still controversial relationships among economic growth, inequality, and poverty reduction, the so-called Poverty-Growth-Inequality Triangle. There is no doubt that growth and income distribution should be considered simultaneously for poverty reduction. However, this does not necessarily mean that growth in average income and income distribution are endogenously related to each other in a predictable and regular pattern. The Kuznets' inverted-U curve, a growth-inequality trade-off found in many cross-country analyses in the 1970s, lost significance in panel analyses from the 1990s that utilized household surveys over time periods. When country-level fixed effects were taken away, any regularity in impacts of growth on inequality disappeared. Similarly, once-believed positive (or negative) regular impacts of income/expenditure (flow) inequality on growth performance seem to have disappeared once country-specific factors were taken into consideration. Inequality in asset distribution (stock), however, was found and is still considered to have significant negative impacts on growth performance. Therefore, on average, as long as an overly skewed distribution of assets can be modified early on, we can then focus on accelerating growth, believing in `growth is good for the poor'. In terms of the elasticity of poverty reduction with respect to growth and distribution, the latter was found to be twice as large. The impact of growth on poverty reduction would be much larger in countries where inequality in income/expenditure distribution is smaller. Growth-oriented policies can generally be executed independently from (endogenous) distributional concerns. Nonetheless, distributional policies (social development initiatives) should be considered simultaneously if we aim for greater impacts on poverty reduction. Finally, country-specific factors dominate the relationships among growth, inequality, and poverty reduction. Th

    Language：English

    Globalization and Development is a "cross-national study" on the "interstate dispersion" of the impacts (to growth, inequality and poverty) that international economic integration provides to the economies of the developing countries, along with some specific factors that determine the outcome in each nation (such as socio-economic institutions and policy packages). Volume I introduces the evolution and facets of globalization, and the challenges that we face in our development efforts under globalization. Findings from the old and new empirical studies are consolidated for us to answer the following question. What do we really know about the impacts of globalization? Volume I also contains thematic and issue-oriented discussions on the key facets of globalization.

    Given the multi-layered (economic, political and cultural) process of globalization, this book examines "poverty" not only on the basis of economic indicators such as income and expenditures but also from the viewpoints of "subjective well-being" and "happiness" of the people under consideration.

    This book intends to serve as a unique and comprehensive guide for those in the international development community on the subjects of diversified development paradigms/paths under globalization and other challenges in the post-MDGs era.

    Globalization and Development is a "cross-national study" on the "interstate dispersion" of the impacts (to growth, inequality and poverty) that international economic integration provides to the economies of the developing countries. In order to present the "Leading Issues in Development with Globalization" in a balanced manner, to identify differences and commonalities among "Country Experiences" in development with globalization, and to introduce diversified development paradigms with forward-looking discussions "In Search of a New Development Paradigm" for the post-MDGs era, this publication consists of three volumes and four main parts.

    Volume III (Part IV) presents the diversified development paradigms such as the GNH (Bhutan), the Sufficiency Economy (Thailand), the Reform and Opening Up (China), the African and Latin American paradigms, and the Islamic development paradigm. The Concluding Chapter presents the evolution of development paradigms in the global development cooperation community after WWII, and then offers a glimpse into new development paradigms for the post-MDGs era.

    This book intends to serve as a unique and comprehensive guide for those in the international development community on the subjects of diversified development paradigms/paths under globalization and other challenges in the post-MDGs era.

    This article intends to conduct comparative studies of multiple poverty measures by looking into the absolute, relative and subjective poverty incidence in Indonesia. Using the 2005 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), we observed that there was roughly 28 percentage-point difference in the poverty headcount ratios computed by applying the absolute (14.47%) and subjective (42.03%) poverty. There were virtually no correlations among the poverty rankings in the provinces of Indonesia obtained by five poverty metrics. Results of logit model and ordered logit model estimations of the possible determinants of poverty were presented.

    In the socioeconomic development of a developing country, sustainable growth and development of the domestic industry is essential to boost economic growth and employment creation that will bring about poverty reduction. Under a system of international economic institutions that allows a relatively broad policy space, Japan and other Asian countries that achieved rapid economic growth have succeeded in developing its infant and key industries under a diverse set of industrial policies. They have also achieved higher productivity, advanced its industry and promoted export by making use of foreign capital and imported technology; thus, all these have realized the “catch-up” industrialization (through the traditional follower-country strategy). However, developing countries in the 1980s and onward had to promote their industries under economic globalization and international economic system that were oriented toward free trade and overseas investment. They also had to face a competitive pressure from China and India, and were forced to develop their own industries within a limited policy space, attributed to the expanded global production network of multinational corporations, and under a stricter international economic environment. Taking into consideration that the economies of developing countries have polarized, and that today the term “industrial policy” is considered in a rather broader sense of a collective development policy and being applied more widely, this research intends to focus on the design of an “integrated industrial policy” that tries to promote pro-poor industrial development by utilizing the various effects of globalization. It will (1) analyze comparatively the cases of industrial policies and institutions of selected countries in Asia and Africa, and will combine (2) a wide range of empirical analyses (such as the Kin’s Analyses on industry selection/upgrading/diversification, the macro [economy-wide] and micro [firms and poverty level] quantitative analyses, and the integrated industrial policy simulations with the use of Computable General Equilibrium models). The ultimate goal of this research is to advocate an integrated set of effective policies that will promote surviving industries in developing countries, under global competition and integration, which includes domestic policies, policies that should be coordinated within a framework of regional economic cooperation, and initiatives to be taken under the scheme of international development cooperation. The current study pays extra attention to the potential of various Public-Private Partnership (PPP) initiatives, and explicitly deals with business enterprises and entrepreneurs as key target actors of industrial policies.

    In the development process of developing countries under economic globalization, it is essential to understand the expanding mechanism of the domestic and interstate economic gap which links to each other and becomes multi-layered. Without these efforts, an economic growth that leads to poverty reduction (i.e. Pro-Poor Growth) cannot be achieved. The international trade theory and the theories of international capital flow stress that international economic integration brings about symmetrical effect and phenomena to the developed and developing nations; thus, it will enable to reduce poverty through benefiting mainly the (less skilled) laborers in developing countries. Numerous existing empirical studies agreed that economic integration contributes to poverty reduction on the basis that it accelerates growth “on average”, while being neutral to the distribution of benefits, again “on average”. However, in reality, there exists a number of “dispersion” in this “average” relation, both from the transnational and chronological aspects. This implies that there are countries in which integration to the global economy does not bring in growth. Even if it does produce growth, it does not derive poverty reduction due to inequality in income distribution and spatial distribution of industry.
    Hence, this research intends to elaborate a “cross-national study” on the “interstate dispersion” of the impact (growth, inequality, and poverty) that international economic integration provides to the (economic) society of the developing countries, along with the specific factors that determine the outcome in each nation (such as socio-economic institutions and policy packages). Further, the study targets to propose a development strategy under globalization, and to reexamine and rebuild the theoretical models of international economic integration.
    The ongoing process of globalization involves the three major currents of political, economic, and cultural integration. It has also been propelled by the four undercurrents in the struggle and integration of ideology, human being, information, and institution. Given this multi-layered process of globalization, this research challenges to examine “poverty” not only from the economic indicators such as income and expenditures but also from the viewpoints of “well being” and “happiness” of the people under consideration.

    This study focused on innovations and entrepreneurship in developing countries aiming at proposing public policies necessary to promote economic development with fruits of innovation. We implemented field works in, and data analyses of poor developing countries, Laos and Vietnam.
    The main conclusions are as follows: First, for most developing countries ‘learning innovation’ is the key to economic growth rather than ‘leading-edge innovation’. Second, an overwhelming majority of innovations currently used in poor countries have been developed in advanced countries, so technology transfer and learning from the latter are a fundamental source of innovation in the former. Third, the common factors driving innovation of manufacturing firms in Vietnam and Laos are (1) human capital, (2) social capital and (3) innovation activities in the past.

    As the SDGs pointed out, in the socioeconomic development of a developing country, sustainable development of domestic industries and firms is essential to boost economic growth and employment creation that bring about poverty reduction. Taking into consideration that the industries in developing countries have been polarized or marginalized, this research intended to focus on the designs of “integrated industrial policies” that cam promote “inclusive” industrial development. The research project produced a set of two books (in English) as a unique guide and a collection of piecewise and integrated policy designs for those in the international development community who try to promote sustained growth of industries and firms in developing countries by a well-coordinated set of industrial and supporting policies.
