This book was released on 1999 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: April 1997 Overattention to the minimum wage may have led Indonesian firms to lower other costs, including those associated with overtime pay and safe working conditions. Indonesia's workers need to be made more aware of the rights and benefits to which they are entitled. Young, single, women workers dominate the labor-intensive textile, clothing, and footwear industries in Indonesia. This survey interviewed 300 such workers to examine three main questions: (1) Are firms complying with labor regulations? (2) Are women workers aware of their legal rights with respect to wages and working conditions? (3) Does the presence of the official labor union (SPSI) in the workplace make a difference in the implementation of labor regulations? The survey finds that compliance with minimum wages was high - 80 percent of the permanent workers earned at least the minimum wage. Compliance was also high for maternity leave and hours worked a week (forced overtime work was not a major issue). Compliance was low for overtime compensation and menstrual leave with compensation. Compliance with labor regulations was higher for large firms, higher based on length of service, and relatively higher in textiles and garments compared with footwear. The survey finds that workers are most knowledgeable about the minimum wage rate and least knowledgeable about overtime pay. The minimum wage regulation has the highest compliance rate, while overtime pay the lowest compliance rate, by firms. The survey also found that half the members of the official labor union thought that it had not been effective in improving their wages or working conditions. While fewer workers knew whether a collective labor agreement existed in their workplace, most of the respondents who were aware of one indicated that it resulted in improved working conditions. This paper - a product of the Indonesia Policy and Operations Division, Country Department III, East Asia and Pacific - was written as part of a broader study of Indonesia's labor market. It was presented at a joint workshop of the Ministry of Manpower and the World Bank, Indonesian Workers in the 21st Century: Workshop for Economic Reforms and Labor Market Restructuring for Indonesia, Jakarta, April 2-4, 1996.

Book Synopsis Development and Security in Southeast Asia by : Carolina G. Hernandez
Download or read book Development and Security in Southeast Asia written by Carolina G. Hernandez and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. This three-volume set examines the relationship between government and civil society in their efforts to define and pursue security. Including the results of an extensive research program, each volume is organized around one of the three principal themes - environment, people and globalization, supplying compelling evidence of the tension between economic change and human well-being. Challenging the conventional wisdom about the beneficial results of economically induced change, this first volume suggests that too often the mismanagement of development jeopardizes the security of individuals, families, communities, and possibly the state, by harming the very environment which is required to sustain both people and their economic existence. Bringing together an international group of scholars from a variety of disciplines, this volume is particularly relevant for academic and general research communities in the areas of social, economic, political and security matters of Southeast Asia.

Download or read book Labour in Southeast Asia written by Becky Elmhirst and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-05-07 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seeking to provoke debate, the book reveals the variety of experiences evident in countries and regions marked by capitalist and (post) socialist regulatory frameworks, and contrasting labour regimes, histories and cultures. The contributions show the importance of critically examining both the complex nature of global-local links and the particular ways economic processes are around the themes of labour regimes, labour processes, labour mobility and labour communities, the essays show how economic development is not only shaped by market forces but is also interlocked in systems of meaning.

Download or read book Globalisation and its Economic Consequences written by Shujiro Urata and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the rising criticisms of and growing doubts about globalisation, this timely edited volume looks at globalisation and its economic impact on eight countries in Asia and the Pacific region, namely Australia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, the United States (US), and Vietnam. The eight selected countries are members of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum and yet the economies of these member countries have benefited differently from globalisation. This book summarises findings from existing academic literature in a coherent framework and reviews them critically to provide a balanced analysis. It also identifies the mechanisms through which globalisation impacts economies and explains how understanding of such mechanisms can be useful for formulating policies, which would benefit from globalisation while achieving inclusive economic growth in the context of rising nationalism and protectionism.

This book was released on 2018-05-15 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book studies the challenges for Indonesia, once a miracle economy, as it faces premature deindustrialisation, rising inequality and domestic and external factors impacting its export-oriented industrialization. Since the fall of Soeharto, Indonesia has undergone a far-reaching systemic transition from centralised and autocratic governance to a highly decentralised and democratic system. Complicated by regional variations, the country is now being called upon to respect labour rights and, amidst slow global economic recovery, is facing increased competition from other low-labour-cost countries, especially within the ASEAN Economic Community. Tadjoeddin and Chowdhury posit that Indonesia cannot recreate its past miracle based on cheap labour and suppression of labour rights. It will need to move quickly to high value-added activities driven by productivity growth and to develop its domestic market.
