Right To Welfare

Humans are social beings who live in groups and form an order of social life such as building a country. One of the ways that the government takes to realize the welfare of its people is through development. With development, the right to welfare for the whole community can be achieved. The concept of welfare in development is not seen as the same thing. Every society in this world has a different level of wealth. This is because they do not only take into account gender differences, but also all vulnerable groups. Basically, development is held for improvement. This means the desire to grow based on individual or group strengths depends on the situation and condition of human labor and social structure. When viewed from the development process to date, there are still many disadvantages for vulnerable groups who also participate in economic growth in the community. Gender perspective is very important in determining policies that will be implemented for the development to the process and results, especially laws which do not regulate detrimental losses to vulnerable groups. This shows that women and other vulnerable groups should receive special attention in the development because they are at a higher risk of physical and non-physical violence.

Background: According to World Health Organization (WHO), vulnerable groups such as persons with disabilities are facing severe impacts of the pandemic. There has always been significant challenges and hurdles in terms of achieving adequate and equitable inclusivity of persons with disabilities in all sections of social life. Education and employment of persons with disabilities were least focused which created more marginalization for the community. The long term impact of these marginalization has also led to the lack of jobs and social security of persons with disabilities, which is very clear now given the crisis in place. In low and middle income countries like Bangladesh the situation is even worse. To better understand the conditions of persons with disabilities in this crisis situation, the present study was initiated to explore the dimensions of livelihood with respect to income and wellbeing of persons with disabilities and to generate evidence for developing policies around these issues.Methods: A qualitative study was undertaken among 30 persons with disabilities from 8 different geographical divisions of Bangladesh. The interviews were conducted through telephone calls due to the existing COVID-19 crisis and mobility restrictions. The respondents were purposively selected based on gender, type of disability, area of resident (urban, rural) and their ability to communicate, therefore most (25/30) respondents were persons with physical disability. Thematic analysis was conducted to generate the findings of the study.Findings: Study findings revealed that majority of the respondents were involved in informal jobs. Predominantly males were daily wage-earners and often the sole breadwinner of the families, very few females were involved in economic activities. Since they had no stable income, the economic shock from the COVID-19 pandemic had affected them badly even leading to household level famine. The study identifies low level of education and informal job security as the primary causes of socio-economic insecurity among persons with disabilities, resulting in challenges in ensuring a stable livelihood during crisis situations, such as COVID-19.Conclusion: Constant alienation of persons of disabilities from the formal sector results in the deterioration of their livelihood standards which even worsen during any emergency crisis such as COVID-19. The study pinpoints that only aided services are not adequate to ensure persons with disabilities' rights rather there is an urgent need of disability inclusion in formal job sector and livelihood training for persons with disabilities. To achieve the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 and to irradiate the inequality towards persons with disabilities in the society it is important for the Government and concern bodies to focus on the inclusiveness with better implementation and monitoring strategies.

The Relationship

Abstract The present paper studies empirically the relationship between government spending and non-oil economic growth in the UAE for the last four decades by using the vector autoregression (VAR) approach. The findings of the study suggest that the implementation of expansionary policy, through the intensification of current and development public expenditures, induces an increase in the non-oil economic growth during the subsequent periods of the government spending shock. Thus, the implementation of expansionary government spending stimulates the UAE economy, especially during recession periods. The study suggests that policymakers should concentrate their spending on the right projects, as well as on research and development. Moreover, they should channel their transfers and subsidies to the productive sectors, and they should ensure that higher productivity in public institutions is in conjunction with the rise in wages and salaries to achieve sustainable economic growth.

Subject The future of dollarisation in a context of low oil prices. Significance Oil revenues have underpinned the popularity of President Rafael Correa's government by enabling spending on welfare, infrastructure and development that has boosted economic growth. The collapse of world oil prices has placed the dollar-denominated economy under severe strain and raised doubts about the future of dollarisation in Ecuador. Impacts The fiscal challenges the government is facing will provide the opposition with an opportunity to strengthen in 2015. The right will play on concerns over the management of the economy, the scale of public debt and the size of the state. The left will attack the government for failing to reduce Ecuador's reliance on oil and undertake wider and deeper reforms.

The Right

Previous studies on the development of socio-economic rights in Indonesia heavily focus on the Constitutional Court’s decisions in upholding the rights. But there is still minimum study on the political economy behind the development of socio-economic rights in Indonesia. This article will analyze the development of socio-economic rights through the lenses of the right to social security. This article relies on two major theoretical frameworks to analyze the development of the right to social security in Indonesia. The first theoretical framework is the authoritarian constitutionalism in the economic sphere. The second theoretical framework in this article is Kathrine Young’s theory of the construction of socio-economic rights. This article postulates that the rights to social security has been constitutionalized but not constituted in Indonesia for several reasons. First, and foremost, the legacy of authoritarian constitutionalism that prioritizing economic growth over the fulfilment of social economic rights. The “growth” ideology has contributed to the discrepancy between the constitution and reality, in which the government merely considers protection of socio-economic rights as extra cost, which will hamper the growth of the economy. Second, the lack of philosophical and comparative analysis in the interpretation of rights to social security. Third, the transformation of the Court as a detached court in the enforcement of the rights to social security. The element of detachment is clearly seen in the Court’s too much deferral to the Executive and Legislative branches in defining the scope and meaning of the right to social security. Finally, the failure of social movement to create a new narrative on injustice and the importance of rights to social security.

This paper focuses on the lives of women scavengers heads of households and how the state guarantees the fulfillment of the right to health. Women are relatively more vulnerable to various risks related to their life cycle and role in the family; thus, their access to health insurance is an obligation that must be met by the government. This paper has two objectives: to map social life and, at the same time, analyze the accessibility of the Healthy Indonesia National Health Insurance Card for female head of household scavengers in TPA Cipayung, Depok City. Using qualitative methods, and focusing on five dimensions of accessibility: availability, accessibility, accommodation, affordability, and acceptance, this study found that all health insurance arrangements are still very problematic. Even though these women scavengers are protected by JKN-KIS PBI, in reality, they are still challenging to get access to health services, ranging from the availability of doctors, the scarcity of drugs, to the discrimination of health services. This shows that they have not yet received full health insurance, which has a direct impact on the social and economic lives of the scavengers.

National development has a multidimensional goal, one of which is to realize a democraticIndonesian society, because with a more democratic condition, it allows the public to be more open toparticipate in development in all fields. The development of faster and more complex developmentdemands all components involved in the development process and democracy able to realize what isthe goal of national development.Community participation in the development process in Indonesia in general is currently very low. Thecommunity is still reluctant to engage in a continuous manner in the entire process of developmentplanning, implementation and evaluation carried out by the government. This low participation is aresult of government policies that are still lacking in providing space for every citizen to participate indevelopment. The implementation of the Development Planning Conference (Musrenbang) starting atthe village level up to the national level is considered by some as merely a serimonial process. Nationaldevelopment based on community empowerment will be realized if the government has a strong desireto implement it. The government encourages and provides opportunities for the public to be involved inthis participatory pattern. This pattern makes the community more empowered and participates inenjoying the cake of economic growth resulting from the development process that is carried out.Quality economic growth makes development carried out by the government together with allcomponents of the nation able to improve the welfare of society at large in accordance with what is thegoal of national development itself. National development balanced with active community participation or empowered communities will produce a force capable of realizing national goalsaccording to their goals. Encouraging community participation in developing Indonesia from theregions will be realized if the government has a good desire to implement it. The government mustencourage and provide opportunities for the public to be involved in this participatory pattern.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a critical role in supporting national economic growth. The MSME sector has been particularly hard hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has disrupted supply and demand as well as supply chains, causing the economy's wheels to grind to a halt at the MSME level. MSMEs must be supported by the government and other stakeholders in order to grow and develop. The goal of empowering MSMEs is to achieve a balanced, developing, and equitable national economic structure, as well as to boost regional development, job creation, income distribution, economic growth, and poverty alleviation. The East Java Provincial Government has developed a policy as a strategy for empowering MSMEs in East Java, so that MSMEs are not disrupted in their development process during the pandemic.Keywords : strategy, MSME empowerment, pandemic

AbstractSocial protection programs have been an important part of development process and planning in India since its Independence. However, after sixty-five years, around one-fourth of its population lives in poverty. Despite a plethora of social protection programs, vulnerable groups among the poor have not been well targeted. However, the recent paradigm shift towards rights-based legislations may have hit the right chord with its self-targeting mechanism. The Right to Work, or the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) provided employment to almost 55 million households and spending nearly 8 billion US dollars in April 2010–March 2011. Participation of women and socially backward groups has been exceptionally high. This paper analyzes the policy provisions, implementation and monitoring mechanism of MGNEGA to argue that policy designs with legal enforceable mechanisms and collaborative governance systems can lead to empowerment of the marginalized sections.
