The goal of this study is to figure out how resilient families who get the Gemilang Social Safety Net (JPS) are in terms of physical resilience, economic resilience, social psychological and sociocultural resilience, and family resilience based on each type of work. Another part of this study will look at how income, the number of people living with you, and how many times you’ve been given JPS Gemilang affect your physical resilience. This is a quantitative study. The people who took part in this study were people who had JPS Gemilang stage III in the province of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). Samples were chosen by a method called stratified random sampling. This study used the Treebox Method and multiple regression analysis to figure out how total income, number of dependents, and number of times receiving JPS Gemilang affected physical endurance, economic resilience, socio-psychological, and socio-cultural resilience, as well as how many times they were given the JPS Gemilang drug. According to a study done by looking at 100 samples, each person who gets JPS Gemilang has a high level of family resilience. This is true for the physical, economic, socio-psychological, and socio-cultural aspects that make up a person’s family. All of JPS Gemilang are in the top group. It doesn’t matter what job you do; your family is going to be able to handle it. People who work as professional staff, such as honorary teachers, honorary staff members, and teachers, do a lot of work that helps families be more resilient in general, but when they look at each of these things individually, they’re in the middle. Physical resilience, economic resilience, socio-psychological and socio-cultural resilience don’t seem to be affected by income, number of dependents, or number of times JPS Gemilang has been given to people. This is based on statistics.

This paper analyzes the dynamics of the labor market in Latin America during the COVID-19 pandemic. After a decade of a virtuous circle of growth with the creation of formal jobs, the pandemic has had an considerable impact on the region’s labor market, generating an unparalleled increase in the proportion of the inactive population, considerable reductions in informality, and, in contrast, smaller fluctuations in formal jobs. In this context, the formal sector, given its lower flexibility, became a "social safety net" that preserved the stability of employment and wages. Based on the findings presented in this paper, it is projected that, starting in 2021, informality will grow to levels higher than those of the pre-COVID-19 era–with 7.56 million additional informal jobs–as a result of the population returning to the labor market to compensate for the declines in incomes. According to the simulations presented, postponing or forgiving income tax payments and social security contributions conditional on the generation of formal jobs could reduce the growth of informality by 50 to 75 percent. Achieving educational improvements has the potential to reduce it by 50 percent.

Compared to many other wealthy nations, the United States lacks a strong social safety net, has weak legal protections for workers, has suffered long-term declines in unionization, and has eroded the gains in prosperity achieved by the working class in the post-WWII era. Consequently, despite advancements in science and medicine, the U.S. working class has suffered great harms during the COVID-19 pandemic, from the direct effects of illness and mortality and from indirect familial, social, and economic impacts. The failure of the federal government to protect blue collar, service, and retail sales workers with strong mandatory worksite infection control regulations has further endangered working class communities. The dearth of federal leadership has been countered by solidarity and a diversified set of pandemic monitoring and mitigation efforts on the part of worker organizations (primarily labor unions), social service NGOs, Indigenous nations, and communities of color. Defeating the COVID-19 syndemic will require continued working class solidarity, an ethical framework for envisioning a future which prioritizes social and racial justice, and structural economic and sociopolitical transformations.

By matching domestic ODA projects for specific implementation in accordance with the 2020 Fire and Disaster Prevention Agency Facility Infrastructure Master Plan and 2030 Vision, a social safety net construction project in Vietnam, its business feasibility was analyzed. Vietnam is undergoing rapid change and urbanization. As a result, demand in the firefighting sector is expected to increase rapidly. Because there are no domestic manufacturers of firefighting vehicles in Vietnam, the demand is largely satisfied through imports; however, the firefighting vehicles and additional devices provided through this ODA project should greatly contribute to the promotion of domestic exports. To represent the environmental factors that can cause fires in 58 provinces, the selection of project areas to support firefighting vehicles is based on population, jurisdictional area, population density, age of firefighting vehicles, number of firefighting targets, and number of firefighting vehicles in the past four years; the trend of reinforcement of firefighting vehicles and regional characteristics is determined. Twelve provinces in Vietnam were selected in the same way as the selected areas to support firefighting vehicles. This ODA project is expected to provide an opportunity to improve the legal and institutional aspects of the firefighting and disaster prevention field in Vietnam by applying domestic advanced firefighting force deployment standards.

PurposeDuring these unprecedented times, acts of charity are deemed essential to help individuals in need and support the social safety net. Given the importance of prosocial behavior for survival through the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, the authors investigate the effects of partitioning experiential consumption and self-construal on consumer responses.Design/methodology/approachBased on the literature on partitioning and self-construal, the findings across three experimental studies provide novel insights into the interplay between partitioning and self-construal, and offer psychological processes on prosocial and behavioral intention.FindingsIndividuals with predominantly independent (vs. interdependent) self-construals and those primed with independent (vs. interdependent) self-construals showed higher prosocial intention when the experiential product ad was in an aggregated (vs. partitioned) format. The fit between the type of format and self-construal leads to the high control coping mechanism, and ultimately prosocial intention.Originality/valuePartitioning experiential consumption has not been directly examined using self-construal, providing novel insights into consumer reactions during the pandemic. This paper provides practical implications to practitioners and researchers to better understand and adapt to shifting digital consumption patterns.
