Dampak KB Terhadap Kesejahteraan: Mitos dan Kenyataan Faturochman; Wini Tamtiari; Henry Sembiring Family planning is an instrument to achieve family welfare but it is not the only one. However, the simplification of family planning-family welfare linkage has exaggerated the family planning role. Many studies, such as conducted by Population Studies Center Gadjah Mada University, show that the direct effects of family planning practice and fertility on family welfare are weak. Understanding that the role is not big as expected, BKKBN introduced family welfare program. The program seems meaningful but institutionally it looks inappropriate. We suggest BKKBN to concentrate on its core business, e.g. serving FP, rather to do the family welfare program.

Mens Involvement in Family Planning: A Gender Perspective Adi Utarini Gender perspective has been a powerful standpoint which creates various responses across disciplines, professions, and regions. As an illustration, epidemiologists and public health experts react by initially disaggregating their data according to sex to look for sex differences; sociologists in the past two decades begin to dig even deeper by differentiating between how nature determines biological male and female (sex) and

how society or culture attaches behavioral, attitudinal, and physical expectations to each sex (gender) (Auerbach and Figert, 1995); feminists postulate that disadvantages of being a woman is the result of women oppression by men.

Perkembangan Indeks Gini di Propinsi Dati I Jawa Barat Sutyastie Soemitro Remi The problem of inequality in income distribution has for long been a focus of research interest. There is also a high possibility that this problem is responsible for the social stress and disturbances. In order to address this issue, there is a need to approach it through the gini index both over time and between regions, rural-urban, and also between groups in order to get an empirical observation, particularly in provincial level of Java. We can draw a general conclusion that the inequality in income distribution in West Java is low. In this connection, there is a tendency that the degree of inequality is high in areas the middle of development is relatively higher and then in urban areas. Thus, development policies aimed at improving on community income distribution should therefore, prioritize these areas.

Mobilitas Penduduk di Propinsi Bali Sebelum dan Semasa Krisis Moneter Beserta Dampaknya Ida Bagoes Mantra The relatively low negative impact of the Indonesian economic crisis on the province of Bali is due to the ability of

the agriculture and tourist industry in the province to sustain this impact. The price of non-food crop production such as cloves, coffee, cocoa, and cashew nuts is very high, and this is partially as a result of the stable peace and security enjoyed by the province. The high trend of foreign and national tourist to Bali which had declined drastically because of the demonstrations and chaos in some cities on the Java Island has no once again picked up momentum. The prevailing peace and stability in the Island of Bali is utilized by the Indonesian Chinese have taken asylum in this province as their houses and property in the other provinces were burnt and destroyed in the previous upheaval. The exodus of Chinese to Bali during that crisis led to a Bali during that crisis led to a negative impact on the population, economic, and cultural sector of the province.

Mobilitas Tenaga Kerja Indonesia ke Luar Negeri dan Dampaknya Terhadap Diri Migran: Suatu Tinjauan Awal terhadap Kasus Buruh Bangunan di Kuala Lumpur M. Arif Nasution This writing is the outcome of studies concerning Indonesian migrant in the construction sector in Kuala Lumpur. Although in the beginning of this paper, there are many explanation about the development condition of Indonesian international labor with the purpose to picture the global trend since the first five year development plan until the sixth five year development plan, but the focus in this writing is more on the impact analysis for the migrant oneself in the destination country. The result of the studies shows that the migrant

income level increases in proportion to when living in Indonesia especially in fulfilling the basic requirements. On the contrary, for job experience many say that they have no progress at all and in fact rather become stupid. The migrants also infected with various diseases especially skin diseases and back ache. Likewise sexual behavior, there is a tendency to have sexual intercourse with the fellow migrant or go to the cheap prostitution places around Kuala Lumpur.
