Penduduk lanjut usia termasuk dalam kelompok rentan di masa pandemi COVID-19. Tujuan tulisan ini adalah untuk mengidentifikasi peran pemerintah baik tingkat pusat maupun daerah dalam pemberian bantuan sosial bagi lansia. Data penelitian didapatkan dari open source sejak bulan Maret hingga Juli 2020. Ditemukan bahwa pada level pusat, Kementerian Sosial dan Kementerian Pemberdayaan Perempuan dan Perlindungan Anak, serta pada level daerah, Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta dan Jawa Timur, telah menyediakan bantuan sosial yang menyasar lansia di masa pandemi. Program bantuan ini kemudian dianalisis menggunakan konsep familisasi dan defamilisasi. Beberapa lansia sebelum masa pandemi masih mampu bekerja dan memenuhi kebutuhan hidup sehari-hari tanpa bergantung pada keluarga (defamilisasi). Namun, selama pandemi, lansia tersebut harus bergantung kembali kepada keluarga (familisasi) karena terbatas untuk bekerja di luar rumah dan atau tidak memiliki dana pensiun. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa bantuan sosial dari pemerintah bagi lansia selama masa pendemi sangat diperlukan untuk mengurangi risiko-risiko defamilisasi.Kata Kunci: bantuan sosial; lanjut usia; COVID-19; familisasi; defamilisasi Elderly are included in the vulnerable group during the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper aims to identify the role of government at both the central and regional levels in providing social assistance for the elderly during the pandemic. This study utilizes an open-source obtained from March to July 2020. It was found that at the central level and at the regional level, have provided social assistance. This assistance is then analyzed using the concept of familization and defamilization. Some elderly before the pandemic were still able to work and fulfill their daily needs without depending on family (defamilization). However, due to the pandemic, the elderly had to depend on their families (familization) because they are limited to working outside the home and do not have a pension fund. It can be concluded that social assistance from the government during the pandemic is very much needed to reduce the risk of defamilization.Keywords: social assistance; elderly; COVID-19; familization; defamilization

Participation Frameworks

The scope for involving private capital participation in wastewater treatment and pollution control is attracting attention in a number of countries. After noting briefly some influences giving rise to this trend, this paper discusses frameworks in which such participation may be developed. In some aspects, there are choices available and it is essential to shape the private participation appropriately to the community's situation and problems, with due recognition of the hazards also involved. In other aspects, policy choices are more constrained, and there are requirements which it is suggested all private participation frameworks should provide for as clearly as possible. Effective private participation generally depends on re-designing and strengthening the role of government as the scale of its former role is reduced. Getting this re-design of the government role right is at least as important as making appropriate choices for format of private participation.

For this reason, government has tried to guarantee old-age’s pension eligibility. In our country pension system is presented with three-level pension system, which join mandatory and voluntary components – solidary system (first level), compulsory accumulation system (not exist now) and private pension system. According to Ukrainian’s pension model, basic and minimum pensions are funded by solidary system or PAYG (“Pay-As-You-Go”) system. As the results, maintains of sufficient financial resources of Pension fund’s budget is very important for financial stability of pension system.

Chapter 3 discusses government in the two cities in four sections. First, we do not take for granted what government is supposed to do but instead analyze how leaders consider the role of government in the first place. Second, we discuss the priorities that rank highest on their priorities rubric for the government. Third, we discuss how they pay for city services by examining budgets and tax structures. Finally, we look outside government to see how much of what is public is accomplished by nongovernmental actors, especially in Market Cities. Through all of these, we show how Copenhagen has a much wider and collective imprint on what government should do than does the Market City of Houston.
