However, due to its lucrative business nature, the increase of the sex industry in the last few decades is largely the result of national and international socioeconomic and political policies. Globalization has made the poor get poorer and many countries are in financial and political crisis. Women are generally the poorest of the poor and are preyed on by recruiters, traffickers, and pimps. Global sexual exploitation has increased due to rise in military presence in many parts of the world; racial myths and stereotypes; and women's inequality. There are at least four main actors in sex trafficking: (1) the men who buy commercial sex acts, (2) the exploiters who make up the sex industry, (3) the states that are destination countries, and (4) the culture that tolerates or promotes sexual exploitation. This paper reviews Indonesian government policy regarding laws on combating sex trafficking and offers recommendations to improve the quality of reducing sex trafficking in Indonesia. It provides an overview of sex trafficking problem in Indonesia, Indonesia's responses to date and the likely effectiveness of those strategies to eradicate sex trafficking regarding the position of Indonesia in the globalized world. The following are recommendations to combat sex trafficking in Indonesia: (1) set zero tolerance policies for sex trafficking; (2) set an abolitionist approach to sex trafficking and prostitution; (3) redefine prevention; (4) end tolerance for the illegal sex trade, including open advertising of criminal activity; (5) redefine and rename police department units to combat sex trafficking; (6) end discrimination against victims in arrest and prosecution of trafficking and prostitution-related offenses; (7) increase criminal investigation of exploiters; (8) train law enforcer to recognize exploiter behaviour and signs of victimization; (9) devise strategies to combat different markets for victims; (10) review state approaches to prostitution for effectiveness in reducing the demand for victims and for eliminating the markets for victims. The following are some operational programs to combat sex trafficking: (1) Producing community education materials such as pamphlets, brochures, leaflets, posters, banners, compact disc, mass media (printed, audio and audiovisual); (2) Proposing formal and non-formal community education through inserting specific materials describing the risk of sex business, modus operandi of sex trafficking actions, and practice to avoid sex trafficking; and (3) Proposing the poverty eradication to minimize the push factor of sex trafficking. The program consists of a broad range of community empowerment as mental and spiritual guidance, vocational training, women's living skills, family welfare counselling, and saving and loans or micro finance credit schemes.

Our empirical results show that an increase in birthweight has significant positive effects on children’s subsequent height and weight-for-age z scores, whereas an improvement in drinking water quality, as measured by coliform bacteria count, increases the weight-for-height z score. Interestingly, there is seasonality in birthweight; this measure is significantly higher during the dry season than during the rainy season, and is also higher in a Christian-majority province than in Muslim-majority provinces, during the period shortly after Ramadan. Finally, the availability of modern water infrastructure improves the quality of drinking water. These findings show that interactions of environmental variations affect early childhood human capital formation and can have long-term impacts on their outcomes.

Rural household welfare can be approached by evaluating income ad expenditure level both for total and capita level. In the mean time, income structure reflects activity distribution as sources of income gained by the households. Income distribution level can be identified by applying Gini Index. This study was conducted in various agro-ecosystems in Java and Bali. This paper discusses about income and expenditure structures of those rural households at the mentioned agro-ecosystems. This study results was expected to be useful for research and assessment (R&A) in those areas mainly in evaluating outcome and impact of the R&A in those respective agro-ecosystems.

Social capital played a crucial role in small irrigation management allowing all water distribution with appropriate criteria, amount and time for all farmers within the irrigation network. Therefore it was necessary to investigate various influencing factors on investment development and financial viability in a small irrigation system. The research used survey method with indepth group discussion. Data were analyzed descriptively. Government’s ignorance and less wise for community self-help and social capital has caused a dependency to Government’s aids. Water User’s Association (WUA) institutional for small irrigation was definitely considered important in managing irrigation water. Social capital was formed and interacted with natural capital and human capital and framed in group social rela...

In addition, it also can reduce agricultural yield loss. Technology application is started with dissemination and socialization activity and then followed by technology adoption. The process of dissemination and adoption of the introduced technologies is a crucial part of the efforts to apply technology at the end user’s level. Various influencing factors on the process of dissemination and adoption are associated with the technology, dissemination process, and technology beneficiaries. This paper describes an analysis of post-harvest technology transfer process mainly for food crops and estate crops, and community development in various regions of Indonesia. A concept of zero waste development policy is enhanced in the process of disseminating postharvest technology toward development of rural agro-industry.

Because of that position, it is important to identify rice consumption pattern of Indonesian people. This research aims at analyzing the trends of rice consumption at home and rice-based eaten away from home in terms of weight and expenditure. By using mathematical and simple statistical methods, data of household rice consumption from National Socio-economic Survey (Susenas) years 1996 to 2017 (seven data sets) were analyzed by location and income quintiles. Results of these analyses indicated that during 1996 to 2017 the real expenditure of food away from home tended to increase, the real expenditure and per capita of rice consumption for all household categories tended to decrease, and the expenditure for processed rice had different path compared to the expenditure for rice consumption.

Rice production enhancement deals with many challenges, among others, negative impacts of climate change such as floods and droughts.

This paper identifies communication system in STRV dissemination process and acceptance while trying to formulate an effective communication strategy to speed up the adoption process to support food self-sufficiency achievement. Farmers’ rate of adoption of technology innovation was influenced by internal factors, external factors, socio-economic and environmental conditions.

The paper shows that network relationships influence the dissemination of new information on seed. In their decisions to adopt new rice varieties, farmers are strongly influenced by their kin and friends. The study also investigated social networks by gender in order to gain greater insights into how gender inequalities influence the effectiveness of social capital through social networks. Results show that information opportunities of men and women vary in terms of exposure to and control of information. These differences are mainly influenced by their social and cultural setting in rice farming systems and communities. The paper shows that gender should be accounted for when investigating the determinants of social networks. Factors affecting social networks differ by gender, and also across countries. For instance, older males in Indonesia tend to have larger social networks. Women who belong to large farming households tend to have bigger social networks. Generally, having more relatives is a good opportunity to increase social networks for males and females.
