Bulletin Insight edisi Juli 2021, Volume 2 (1) kali ini menerbitkan edisi khusus berupa laporan penelitian dari Arif Novianto (Peneliti Muda di IGPA MAP Fisipol UGM) tentang kondisi kerja layak dan adil di GoKilat, sebuah layanan pengiriman barang sehari sampai dari GoTo. Berikut adalah ringkasan dalam penelitian dari Arif Novianto ini:

• Kondisi kerja dari driver GoKilat belum berjalan sesuai dengan pekerjaan yang layak dan adil. Hal itu terlihat dari rata-rata jam kerja adalah 11,2 jam/hari, 25,2 hari/bulan, 60% kurir tidak memiliki jaminan kesehatan, 97% kurir tidak memiliki asuransi kendaraan, hubungan kemitraan yang dikuasai sepihak oleh perusahaan platform, tidak adanya jaminan pendapatan dasar, dan lain sebagainya.
• Pendapatan dari kurir GoKilat pada Mei 2021 belum mencapai pendapatan yang layak. Dengan membandingkan dengan UMP DKI Jakarta tahun 2021, pendapatan bersih kurir GoKilat (pendapatan kotor dikurangi biaya sarana produksi dan jaminan sosial) hanya 1.661.514 rupiah per bulan (diukur berdasarkan kerja 40 jam/minggu), sedangkan UMP DKI Jakarta pada tahun 2021 sebesar 4.416.186 rupiah per bulan.
• Dari aspek “kerja layak dan adil” terhadap pekerja gig di GoKilat, GoTo hanya mendapatkan poin 4 dari poin maksimal 15. Sehingga GoTo mendapat rapor merah “kerja layak dan adil” dalam hubungan kemitraan yang mereka jalankan di GoKilat. Bukannya berupaya memenuhi kerja layak dan adil bagi kurir GoKilat, kebijakan penurunan insentif yang ditetapkan oleh GoTo pada 08 Juni 2021 justru menjauhkan pekerja gig dari kerja layak dan adil.

EKONOMI GIG saat ini tengah banyak digandrungi oleh perusahaan platform, dari bidang pengantaran barang, antarpenumpang, pembuatan film, desain, konten kreatif, pekerjaan rumah tangga, hingga pengantaran makanan. Istilah kerja gig sendiri merujuk pada cara kerja musisi, bahwa mereka hanya dapat bayaran ketika ada gig atau acara manggung. Mekanisme gig tersebut, diaplikasikan secara luas dan fleksibel oleh perusahaan platform dengan menggunakan piranti teknologi digital. Di Indonesia telah ada banyak perusahaan platform yang menggunakan model ekonomi gig, baik Gojek, Grab, Marxim, InDriver, Mr Speady, Shopee Express/Food, Upwork, dan juga yang lain. read more

Capaian “keberhasilan” program dana desa yang dilaksanakan pemerintah pusat sejak tahun 2015-2019 perlu kita cermati kembali. Berdasarkan data statistik yang dikeluarkan Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) nasional menunjukkan bahwa jumlah angka kemiskinan dari tahun ke tahun menunjukkan trend penurunan. Namun, bila trend angka penurunan tersebut dicermati lebih mendalam, dibalik angka penurunan tersebut ternyata disertai dengan trend tingkat semakin parahnya kemiskinan yang juga merangkak naik tiap tahunnya. Artinya, bahwa ketimpangan dalam struktur sosial masyarakat antara kelas sosial “bawah dan atas” semakin parah terjadi. read more

The Impact of COVID-19 on the Socio-Economics of Indonesia’s Vulnerable Workers

IGPA collaborated with the Forbil Institute conducted a preliminary study regarding the influence of social restrictions policy on the socio-economic conditions of vulnerable communities. The social restrictions policy has reduced the economic activities of the community, thereby impacting their income levels during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study used interview techniques via telephone and online platforms. We found that the COVID-19 pandemic not only caused economic vulnerability in society but also deepened economic vulnerability that existed before the pandemic and even created new vulnerable communities to emerge. This research recommends basic needs assistance policies as an alternative for COVID-19 response measures. Apart from that, efforts to formulate policies that continuously reduce socio-economic vulnerability need to be made. The results of this research were published a book “Governance for Handling COVID-19 in Indonesia: Preliminary Study (chapter 3) read more

Assessing the Performance of New Provinces Decentralized Governance in Indonesia : The Case of Banten and North Kalimantan Provinces 

Prof. Dr. Wahyudi Kumorotomo, MPP; Prof. Dr. Haryanto Dr. I Wayan Nuka Lantara, Kurnia Cahyaningrum Effendi, Dr. Terry van Dijk

IGPA received a research grant from Fisipol UGM in collaboration with the University of Groningen, Netherlands. Decentralization policy in Indonesia, since Law no. 22 of 1999, has led to increasing turmoil in the region and the formation of the New Autonomous Region. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing Banten and North Kalimantan Provinces. Both Banten and North Kalimantan are newly established regions and are still struggling with issues of identity, governance, public services, financial management and accountability. The research results show that in Banten there is a tendency for strong patterns of corruption, collusion and nepotism, as well as dynastic politics. Apart from that, spatial inequality between North and South Banten is still visible in terms of the HDI index. The problems of the new autonomous region look different from those of North Kalimantan Province. The expansion of North Kalimantan province aims to reduce the gap in the border area with Malaysia. The success of this goal can be seen from the access and infrastructure that are starting to be improved. Politics in North Kalimantan is more stable than Banten, but faces economic problems in the form of low regional revenue, declining investment trends, and quite high access gaps between district areas. read more
