This study analyses the similarities and differences of maternity protection under Indonesia and Malaysia's Labor Law. The method used in this research is a normative and comparative approach. This study shows several differences in maternity protection from both laws, such as the duration of maternity leave and the provision of breastfeeding entitlement. However, few similarities are also found, such as both laws provide social and health protection under the labor law. Malaysian lawmakers should revise the Employment Act 1955, which covers work protection and breastfeeding, and both countries should ratify the Maternity Protection Convention of 2000 to better protect women workers in the workplace.Keywords: Maternity protection, Women worker, International convention, Indonesia and Malaysia labor law.

So many surveys have demonstrated that there are high degrees of morbidity due to mental turmoil among immigrants, mainly depression and apprehension. Few of these studies unveil that migrant bond mentally depressed for the reason that they are tensed with jobs that was not at par with their educational status. From this context, the likelihood of those individuals with a higher education qualifications to end up doing deadly jobs are high, hence lower their self-respect. Those Women who involved in reformation and increasing role in international labor migration presently amount to 49.6 percent of all labor migrants worldwide. At this time, Malaysia has 2.9 million acknowledged and about 3 million unacknowledged workers with the majority of them from Indonesia 50.9%. On Asia continent, the largest class of female employment is domestic workers. Nevertheless, the domestic sector is regularly not protected by labor and industrial relations laws in the host countries, which makes this set of migrants labor particularly vulnerable to mistreatment hence the depression. Studies have shown that stressful experiences increase one’s susceptibility to diseases and mental health trouble. This research aimed to assess the effectiveness of the interventions using Solution-focused brief group therapy (SFBGT). BDI, the Beck depression inventory tool is employed to the quasi pre-test and post-test methodology to evaluate the depression level of Indonesian women migrant workers in Penang state of Malaysia. The novel significance is that this study will benefit the Indonesian government in policy preparation that can validate her citizens who are principally searching for greener pasture offshore.

Becoming a female worker abroad, especially in Middle Eastern countries, Malaysia is the dream and hope for most women and families in Lebak Kepuh Village. Family poverty factor is the main reason for families to send their children to work abroad. Working as farm laborers and getting caught up in loan sharks forced these families to send their children to become TKW. Private Indonesian Employment Service Delivery Companies (PPTKIS) have sprung up as a connector between workers and overseas job providers. However, unfortunately, many of these PPTKIS are not registered with the Ministry of Manpower and some are looking to the villages to seduce women to be sent to work abroad or in the capital city with the lure of a large salary. Even though this is often not true. Instead of getting a job, they are even traded in the trafficking of people into commercial sex workers and / or into illegal labor. This activity aims to socialize Law Number 21 of 2017 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Trafficking in Persons. The causes, methods, methods and consequences of victims of trafficking in persons are presented and described in this activity. This includes serious legal sanctions that will be imposed on parties who deliberately commit the criminal act of trafficking in persons. Village officials ranging from neighborhood units, neighborhood units to village officials are at the forefront of preventing criminal acts of trafficking in persons because the form of trafficking begins with manipulating population data for poor families who want to send their children to work in public families, reporting companies that supply illegal foreign workers to the authorities. is an effort to stop the criminal act of trafficking in persons (women) in Desa Lebak Kepuh , Kecamatan Lebak , Serang Regency.

Full textAbstract:
Financial inclusion is a concept that promotes the accessibility and admittance of people and small businesses to financial assistance such as credit, banking features, and insurance items. There is a significant poof that adequate financial services have advantageous gains for women, young people, clients, and underprivileged individuals. Efficient and sound expansion of financial inclusion in emerging countries is frequently upheld by adequate strategies, innovative reforms, and favorable regulations that ought to help small firms, poor and marginalized individuals, and empower communities. Various emerging countries are executing reforms to extend financial diffusion. For that reason, this study will explore the factors that promote financial inclusion in emerging countries and the lessons that African countries could learn from them. Thus, 13 emerging countries which are (India, Saudi Arabia, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, Nigeria, Mexico, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, and China) from the period of 2005 to 2020 were nominated. Additionally, to determine the elements that influence financial inclusion factors such as bank branches per 100 000 individuals, net income per capita, percentage of individuals using the internet, gross domestic product, total employment, inflation, and population density were selected. A simple OLS and quantile regression model were performed in different percentiles. Furthermore, the findings exposed that variables such as national income per individual, the increase in internet usage, and inflation regulations promote financial inclusion in emerging countries. Whereas, employment displayed a negative effect with the OLS model. However, it presented a positive influence after performing the quantile regression. This implies at a larger scale the employment rate does have a positive impact on the availability of bank branches. Finally, population density presented a neutral effect on the availability of bank branches while the GDP of emerging countries exhibited a negative impact on the availability of bank branches for individuals.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the work-life (WL) experiences of live-in women migrant domestic workers (MDWs), who represent a significant proportion of migrant workers globally. MDWs play a key role in enabling the work-life balance (WLB) of others, namely the middle-class households that employ them. Yet, their experiences have largely been invisible in mainstream WL literature. The authors draw on an intersectional approach to frame the WL experiences of this marginalized group of women at the intersection of being secondary labour segment workers, with significant legal and employment restrictions as migrant workers, who work and live in the same place as their employers. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 women MDWs from Indonesia and the Philippines working in Malaysia. The women talked about the meaning of work as MDWs, how they maintain familial connections whilst working abroad, and how they negotiate their WLB as live-in workers. Thematic analysis of the interviews focused on the intersection of the women’s multiple dimensions of disadvantage, including gender, class and temporary migrant-foreigner status, in shaping their accounts of the WL interface. Findings Three thematic narratives highlight that any semblance of WLB in the MDWs’ lived experience has given way to the needs of their employers and to the imperative to earn an income for their families back home. The themes are: working as MDWs enables the women and their families back home to have a life; the co-existence of WL boundary segmentation and integration in relation to “real” and “temporary” families; and the notion of WLB being centred around the women’s ability to fulfil their multiple duties as MDWs and absent mothers/sisters/daughters. Research limitations/implications The study is based on a small sample of live-in women MDWs in Malaysia, intended to promote typically excluded voices and not to provide generalizable findings. Accessing potential participants was a considerable challenge, given the vulnerable positions of women MDWs and the invisible nature of their work. Practical implications Future research should adopt a multi-stakeholder approach to studying the WL experiences of women MDWs. In particular, links with non-governmental organizations who work directly with women MDWs should be established as a way of improving future participant access. Social implications The study underscores the existence of policies and regulations that tolerate and uphold social inequalities that benefit primary labour segment workers to the detriment of secondary labour segment workers, including women MDWs. Originality/value Extant WL literature is dominated by the experiences of “the ideal work-life balancers”, who tend to be white middle-class women, engaged in professional work. This study offers original contribution by giving voice to a taken-for-granted group of women migrant workers who make other people’s WLB possible. Moreover, the study challenges WL research by underscoring the power inequities that shape the participants’ marginal and disadvantaged lived experience of work, life, family and WLB.

Full textAbstract:
Through activism, community organization, and engagement in social movements, youth worldwide are becoming active actors, demonstrating their ability to influence society in times of crisis. In the context of Indonesian youth, especially those who are part of the diaspora community, attachment to fellow children of the nation is evidenced by social activism, as was the case in Malaysia during the movement control order between 2021 and 2022 through the representative body of the Indonesian Youth National Committee (BP-KNPI). Since its establishment on October 9, 2011, the Indonesian Youth National Committee (BP-KNPI), the representative body for Indonesian youth in Malaysia, has been proactive in playing its role as a second-track diplomatic force, advocating for youth and employment issues, and engaging in social activism to help Indonesian communities in Malaysia. During the pandemic period between March 2020 and December 2021, with the movement control order policy, the representative body of the Indonesian Youth National Committee (BP-KNPI) plays a role in social activism in three domains: (1) the field of employment by supporting the labour recalibration program, which repatriates illegal Indonesian workers in Malaysia (2). in the humanitarian realm by organising assistance from both internal and external parties, such as the Indonesian embassy in Kuala Lumpur; and (3). conducting second-track diplomacy to strengthen relations with the Malaysian Young Council and elements of the Malaysian government. In cyberspace, BP-KNPI Malaysia is also very active in raising solidarity and providing information related to recalibration programmes and social assistance through its members' potential as content creators and relationships with well-known media. Our research concludes that BP-KNPI Malaysia, as a youth civil society, has always been proactive in problem-solving during the pandemic through social activism in humanity, migrant workers from Indonesia, and legal literacy in cyberspace. BP-KNPI Malaysia also tactically implements the spirit of energy and harmony promoted by DPP-KNPI.

Abstract. The important role of monetary policy lies in its ability to influence price stability, economic growth, employment opportunities and balance of payments. Therefore it is very important for the central bank to establish monetary policy in a country especially for two developing countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. The purpose of this study is to determine the implementation of monetary policy in Indonesia and Malaysia. The method used is the study of literature by comparing the monetary policies of Indonesia and Malaysia. The results of this study indicate that Indonesian monetary policy is strongly influenced by interest rates while monetary policy in Malaysia is influenced by direct loans without ties through open tenders, repo transactions, auction of Bank Negara Monetary Notes (BNMN), auction of Bank Negara Interbank Bills (BNIBs) and foreign exchange (FX). The implications of this study are expected to be able to add new inclusions regarding the implementation of monetary policy in Indonesia and Malaysia.Keyword. monetary policy, comparative study, indonesia, malaysia.

Full textAbstract:
The gender wage gap is a well documented and much studied outcome of the labour market processes. However, there is no consensus on the causes of this outcome. One line of reasoning is the result of market discrimination against women. In analysing how the passage of time and economic development affects the extent to which discrimination influences economic outcomes, I first analyse it in an international context. This provides us with a means to understand how macroeconomic variables across countries explain variations in wage discrimination. However, countries covered in the international study comprise mainly developed nations. The understanding of the wage discrimination will remain incomplete without considering a rapidly developing economy, such as Malaysia. Using datasets from the Malaysia Population and Family Survey, I specifically look into the earnings differentials between men and women for a period between 1994 and 2004 within the context of the human capital model and its relationship with occupational distribution. As occupational segregation by gender impacts negatively on the earnings gap, first, I / study its extent with both widely used Duncan dissimilarity index and the state-of-the- art method L index between 1985 and 2005. In the subsequent earnings analysis, parametric and semiparametric approaches, with correction for sample selection are used to evaluate the extent of earnings discrimination. Specific attention is focused on (i) the importance of intra-occupational effect and inter-occupational effect in explaining the earnings gap; (ii) the effects of wage structure and unobserved characteristics in accounting for changes in the earnings gap over time; and (iii) the added value of semiparametric estimation in explaining the earnings gap across the entire earnings distribution.

Full textAbstract:
This is an exploratory study which seeks to investigate the
relationship between selected family life-cycle events and
participation in economic activity among women in Peninsular Malaysia.
The family life-cycle events selected are first marriage and birth of
the first child. Investigation into the work sequences of married
women with children which would show the continuity of work
participation of women following each life cycle event is also
included. Comparison is made of economic activity of married women
prior to marriage with activity after marriage. - Differences in
activity rates by age, urban or rural residence, and ethnicity are
also examined.
Pre-marital work experience is an important predictor of
current work status. Marriage and family formation tend to have a
greater negative impact on the economic participation of urban women,
indicating that these women perceive some incompatibility between work
and bringing up children. The evidence also shows that work status in
one interval is a useful predictor of subsequent work participation.
A negative impact of marriage on the economic activity rates of
women does not occur immediately after marriage. Many women in this
study continue working up to the time they become pregnant or when
their first child is born. Women who have been working between
marriage and the birth of the first child are more likely to work
later. There is also greater likelihood among women to continue
working throughout their married life if they had worked after the
birth of the first child.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the characteristics of female in-migrants to
the capital, Kuala Lumpur as distinguished from total urbanward female
migrants in Peninsular Malaysia. The observed pattern has common
features with those of other capital cities in Southeast Asia, for
example, Bangkok, Jakarta and Manila.
The majority of female migrants may be streamlined into two
contrasting types: those young, single and poorly educated with high
labour force participation in low status service occupations, and
those with at least secondary level education who were either
continuing their education or holding jobs of high occupational
status. In Kuala Lumpur, the latter group was characterised by older,
recent migrant women above 25 years of age, married and mostly
teachers by profession.
The study seeks to identify the more important correlates of
female labour force differentials between migrants and non-movers, and
in which it is found that migration status and ethnicity are
significant factors to be reckoned with. It is clearly evident that
female migrants in the urban labour force in Kuala Lumpur were more
likely to be employed in the service sector when compared to
non-movers who were of similar age, marital status and education
characteristics. Also, in these aspects, migrants with a shorter
duration of residence (recent migrants) were more dissimilar from
non-movers than long-term migrants.

The cloth, the female counterpart of headhunting, was known as women’s war (Linggi, 1999). The process of mordanting yarns in preparation for tying and dyeing was seen as a way of managing the spiritual realm (Heppell, Melak, & Usen, 2006). It required of the ‘women warriors’ psychological courage equivalent to the men when decapitating enemies. Headhunting is no longer a relevant cultural practice. However, the cloth that incited headhunting continues to be invested with significance in the modern world, albeit in the absence of its association with headhunting. This thesis uses the pua kumbu as a lens through which to explore the changing dynamics of social and economic life with regard to men’s and women’s roles in society, issues of identity and nationalism, people’s relationship to their environment and the changing meanings and roles of the textiles themselves with global market forces. By addressing these issues I aim to capture the fluid expressions of new social dynamics using a pua kumbu in a very different way from previous studies. Using the scholarship grounded in art and material culture studies, and with particular reference to theories of ‘articulation’ (Clifford, 2001), ‘circulation’ (Graburn & Glass, 2004) and ‘art and agency’ (Gell, 1998; MacClancy, 1997a), I analyse how the Dayak Iban use the pua kumbu textile to renegotiate their periphery position within the nation of Malaysia (and within the bumiputera indigenous group) and to access more enabling social and economic opportunities. I also draw on the theoretical framework of ‘friction’ and ‘contact zones’ as outlined by Tsing (2005), Karp (2006) and Clifford (1997) to contextualize my discussion of the of the exhibition and representation of pua kumbu in museums. Each of these theoretical frameworks is applied to my data to situate and illustrate my arguments. Whereas in the past, it was the culture that required the object be made, now the object is made to do cultural work. The cloth, instead of revealing hidden symbols and meanings in its motifs, is now made to carry the culture, having itself become a symbol or marker for Iban people. Using an exploration of material culture to understand the complex, dynamic and flowing nature of the relationship between objects and the identities of the producers and consumer is the key contribution of this thesis.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis chapter examines the (de)legitimation strategies that women’s movement organisations in Malaysia use to advance their policy and issue demands. Sustained pressure from activists has been important to get the state to implement reforms to improve women’s rights in this country. One of the frequent means by which they delegitimise the decisions and practices of the state and claim legitimacy for their own change agendas is through media statements which are widely published and reported in the mainstream press. This case study explores the strategies employed in English language media statements released by the Joint Action Group for Gender Equality, the Women’s Aid Organisation, and the All Women’s Action Society. More specifically, it focuses on statements pertaining to one of the key areas that the groups advocate, namely women’s right to safe, healthy, and gainful employment. Using frameworks on discursive (de)legitimation and social actor representation, this chapter examines the various ways the organisations frame and assess legislation, policies, and political actions that impact the experiences and livelihood of working women. It distinguishes and analyses four main (de)legitimation strategies used in the press statements, which are (de)legitimation through authorisation, rationalisation, discourses of nation-building and discourses of women as victims. The chapter argues that these devices may be effective in shaping public opinion and gender governance outcomes if they are perceived as representing or promoting national interests but potentially constrained by culturally dominant discourses that marginalise feminist ways of thinking.

Full textAbstract:
Indonesia is a sending country for international migrant workers, dominated by women. Most of them work as domestic workers that only require a low level of education. The economic reasons are the main factor that drives women in Indonesia to become migrant workers abroad. They find it difficult to work at home as the necessities of life continue to grow. In carrying out their work, women who are migrant workers are more vulnerable than men to various actions that violate human rights and various international agreements relating to migrant workers and employment contracts. This chapter raises the experience of Indonesian women who are migrant workers working abroad based on the feminist perspective. Some Indonesian women who are migrant workers experience violence, sexual harassment, unpaid salaries, do work that is not in accordance with the employment contract, and cannot perform worship in accordance with their religion. This chapter also highlights the consequences that Indonesian women who are migrant workers must face when leaving their families to work abroad.

Full textAbstract:
Many Muslim leaders, entrepreneurs, and managers in Malaysia successfully apply the Al-Quran and Sunnah to their business organizations. In an organization, Islam stresses the cooperation and sense of collectiveness among the employees, as in fact, the religion cannot be practiced in separation. The collective efforts of people in a work situation should be aimed at achieving a certain goal since organizations are composed of very distinct people who are each of unique character and contribute in a particular way based on cultural diversity. In order to create an ethical organization culture that provides a fair treatment to all employees, Islamic leadership principles would become the best method for realizing it. Many verses in the Al-Quran explains justice and honesty in trade as well as courtesy and fairness in employment. In succession, managers should follow many values and norms in Islam as regards the practice in the organization.

This study examines gender equality issues in the workplace in Malaysia and New Zealand during the COVID-19 pandemic and their consequences for practicing human resource management (HRM) in light of potential social-economic influences. Based on the literature reviewed, content and thematic analysis are employed. Emerging themes, such as country profile, female representation in employment rate and labor force participation rate, gender wage gap, and women in senior management roles, in these two countries are discussed. The COVID-19 alert and protection systems adopted by these countries are compared and their implications on HR practices are examined. Overall, the workforce in Malaysia appeared to experience relatively more complex challenges than that of New Zealand. The current study highlights the importance of positioning the development stages and roles of HR adopted by an organization so that HR professionals, business managers, government, and higher education institutions can work collaboratively to close gender equality gaps in the workplace in these countries.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Background: The current fertility rate for Indonesia in 2020 is 2.28 births per woman. High fertility, particularly when it involves conception either too early or too late in the fertility cycle or when short birth intervals are involved, is known to pose higher risks for both mothers and infants. This study aimed to investigate fertility determinants in Indonesia. Subjects and Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out using Indonesian basic health survey year 2017. A sample of 34,199 women of reproductive age aged 15-49 years was selected for this study. The dependent variable was live birth children. The independent variables were education, knowledge toward contraception, employment status, literacy, family discussion, health insurance membership, child birth last year, contraceptive method, residence, province, and source of information. The data were analyzed by a multiple logistic regression. Results: The likelihood of women to have children >2 increased with low education (OR= 2.67; 95% CI= 2.53 to 2.81; p<0.001), low literacy (OR= 1.59; 95% CI= 1.44 to 1.75; p<0.001), and no family discussion (OR= 1.2; 95% CI= 1.13 to 1.24; p<0.001). The likelihood of women to have children >2 decreased with no health insurance membership (OR= 0.73; 95% CI= 0.69 to 0.76; p<0.001), use contraception (OR= 0.33; 95% CI= 0.31 to 0.34; p<0.001), child birth delivery last year (OR= 0.77; 95% CI= 0.71 to 0.83; p<0.001), lived in province in West Indonesia (OR= 0.69; 95% CI= 0.66 to 0.72; p<0.001), received information from private agency (OR= 0.83; 95% CI= 0.78 to 0.89; p<0.001), and worked (OR= 0.72; 95% CI= 0.69 to 0.75; p<0.001). Conclusion: The likelihood of women to have children >2 increases with low education, low literacy, and no family discussion. The likelihood of women to have children >2 decreases with no health insurance membership, use contraception, child birth delivery last year, lived in province in West Indonesia, received information from private agency, and worked.

Background: Menopause was the time of life when menstrual cycles cease and are caused by reduced secretion of the ovarian hormones estrogen and progesterone. the proportion of women aged menopause increases with increasing age. This study aimed to find the relationship between employment status, age at first delivery, number of children and smoking status to the incidence of early menopause in women aged 30 to 40 years. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted from secondary data Indonesian Health Data Survey (IDHS), 2017. The inclusion criteria were female respondents 30-40 years old with who are married and use contraceptives. The dependent variable was early menopause. The independent variables were employment status, age at first delivery, number of children and smoking status. The data were analyzed by chi-square and logistic regression. Results: This study found that women aged 30-40 years who had menopause were 10.3%. From the multivariate results, it was found that women who had more than 2 children had a 1.4 times greater risk of early menopause (OR= 1.43, 95% CI= 1.43 to 1.26). Women who have jobs have a 0.5 times greater risk of premature menopause than women who do not work (OR= 0.55, 95% CI= 0.49 to 0.61). The most dominant variable related to the incidence of menopause is the number of children. Conclusion: The family planning program needs to be increased in order to provide counseling on long-term family planning and how to plan to have children and prepare for menopause.
