AbstrakTulisan ini menguraikan bagaimana mayoritas masyarakat kota Cilegon sangat kental dengan tradisi dan adat istiadat keagamaannya. Tidak sedikit dari mereka membatasi hak perempuan di luar permasalahan rumah tangga, terlebih untuk berkarir di bidang politik. Padahal negara Indonesia sudah menerapkan Hak Asasi Manusia dalam Undang-Undang Dasar 1945 yang mana tidak membeda-bedakan antara perempuan dan laki-laki. Serta di dalam undang-undang nomor 2 tahun 2011 tentang partai politik disinggung dalam pasal 29 bahwa dalam penyelenggaraan pemilihan umum harus menyertakan kuota 30% keterwakilan perempuan dalam pencalonan. Implikasi yang muncul dari ketentuan tersebut, meski dalam pemilihan umum memenuhi kuota yang dimaksud, namun tidak berdampak pada jumlah anggota DPRD perempuan terpilih pada pemilu legislatif 2014 di Kota Cilegon, yang hanya mencapai 14% dari seluruh anggota anggota DPRD.Kata Kunci: Politik, Hak Perempuan, Pemilu AbstractMost of Cilegon people are devoted to religious traditions and customs. Many of them limit women's rights to the household matters, leave alone political carrier. The Indonesia Constitution of 1945 gives no distinction between men and women. It also stated in article 29 Act No. 2 Year 2011 on Politics Party, that 30% of legislative candidate on general election should be women. Even though this stipulation can promote the women's representation in the 2014 legislative general election in Cilegon and reach 30% of the quota, the number of women who were elected in the said year is 14% from the total of elected Cilegon legislative members.

This research proves that religiosity (Islamic totalism) is a predictor of conservative ideology, as is the need for cognitive closure and right wing authoritarian which has been proven as a psychological variable that affects conservative ideology. The ideology of conservatism emphasizes on the tendency to preserve what is already established, resist change and maintain existing orders whether social, economic, legal, religious, political, or cultural (Jost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003). This research utilized a quantitative survey method. Participants of this study were 528 college students from Jakarta with multiple regression analysis. The results obtained are 1) Islamic totalism, cognitive closure and right wing authoritarian are social and economic conservatism predictors; 2) only Islamic totalism is a religious conservatism predictor; 3) Islamic totalism has the greatest influence on social, economic and religious conservatives.
The study purpose is to analyze the effect of gender inequality in education, health, and labor force participation on income inequality in Indonesia. Data from 33 provinces in Indonesia during 2011-2018 were analyzed with panel data regression. The results show that gender inequality in education and labor force participation has a negative and significant effect on income inequality. However, gender inequality in life expectancy does not affect income inequality. The implications are the government should provide free education in poor regions such as by providing a larger allocation of scholarship funds and create employment programs to reduce education as well as income inequality, government. In this case,the government can expand community empowerment programs accompanied by intensive and sustainable assistance and private sector should open the widest possible job opportunities without gender discrimination. This research contributes to development economics, particularly regarding the problem of gender inequality and income inequality where it is found that income inequality is influenced by the occurrence of gender inequality both in terms of education and work participation. Previous studies have examined the relationship between gender inequality and economic growth, while this study analyzes the relationship between gender inequality and income inequality based on provincial data in Indonesia. Apart from gender inequality, this study also analyzes two control variables: government capital expenditure and income per capita.
Previous studies have indicated that the direct influence of cooperative capital on surplus (SHU) is linear and positive.However, how the capital can increase surplus has not been formally explained.Therefore, in this article the authors try to explain the mechanism of the influence of cooperative capital on surplus (SHU) by including turnover as an intervening variable in the relationship between cooperative capital and surplus.This study used secondary data which consist of cooperative capital, surplus, and business turnover from 43 cooperatives in Indonesia recorded in the annual report of the Ministry of Cooperatives and MSMEs 2016. Cooperative capital, surplus, and trunover are measured in rupiah. Path analysis was employed to analyze the data. The effect of mediation was tested by the causal method developed by Baron & Kenny and the product of coefficient method developed by Sobel. The results indicate that turnover perfectly mediates the relationship between cooperative capital and surplus. This research contributes to the lacking formal logical explanation of the relationship between cooperative capital and surplus, that is, cooperative capital encourages business turnover which eventually increases surplus. Therefore, cooperatives in Indonesia should be able to increase cooperative capital, especially internal capital or supporting external capital. In addition, the government should also encourage efforts to develop and promote cooperatives in Indonesia by making policies to facilitate financial access for cooperatives
The phenomenon of aging farmers has received severe concern in many countries due to its adverse impact on agricultural productivity. Therefore it is essential to investigate the determinants of farmer regeneration. This study aims to analyze the effect of parents' landholding, education, motor vehicle ownership, and parents' desire on rural youth's interest in becoming farmers. This study is different from the previous ones by adding parents' desire for their children to become a farmer as a new independent variable. The population of this study consists of rural youth aged 15-24 years whose parents are farmers. Cluster sampling was used to select 44 respondents. The data was then analyzed by multiple linear regression. The results show that parents' landholding and parents' desire that their children become farmers have a positive effect, education has a negative impact, and ownership of motor vehicles indicates no effect on the interest of youth to become farmers. These results imply that to increase the interest of the rural child to become farmers, the welfare aspect is a crucial consideration. Therefore, government, schools, and parents need to emphasize understanding the strategic role of agriculture in the economy and make it a promising source of livelihood.

The source of state revenue comes from taxes, the tax collected by tax collectors is then managed to become state expenditure for operational and development implementation of government and community affairs. One element of state income is the income tax. This study analyzes the relationship between state revenue, especially Income Tax, in the structure of the State Revenue Budget from several external factors such as inflation, the exchange rate of Indonesian rupiah (Rp.) to US dollar (US $), interest rates, and Indonesian crude oil price. From these factors, which one influences the growth of income tax revenue. The exchange rate of Indonesian rupiah (Rp.) to US dollar (US $) has a significant effect on income tax. Indonesian crude oil price, interest rates, and inflation have no effect on income taxes.
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of inflation, the current account balance, and the interest rate on the exchange rate of the rupiah against the dollar after the application of the free floating exchange rate system. The data used in this study is the time series from 1997 semester 1 to 2018 semester 2. The analysis tool used is multiple linear regression with ordinary least square (OLS) model. The results of the analysis show that the current account and interest rates variables have a positive and significant effect on the rupiah exchange rate at a 5 percent significance level. The inflation variable has a negative and not significant effect on the rupiah exchange rate. The implication of this finding is that the government and Bank Indonesia must continue to monitor and control interest rates and increase exports so that the current account balance remains surplus.

This study examines the use of production factors in lanting kuning (food made from cassava, shaped like a small circle, and fried to dry like chips) producers in Sumpiuh District, Banyumas Regency. Researchers are interested in conducting research on lanting kuning because the number of producers decreases almost in every year. This study has the following research questions. First, how the influence of the production factors used such as capital, raw materials, and labor on the number of lanting kuning production. Second, how is the level of efficiency of the use of these production factors. The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of capital, raw materials, and labor on the number of lanting kuning production, and analyze the level of efficiency of production factors based on the returns to scale. The research method used is a survey. Determination of the number of samples using the Slovin formula, found as many as 14 lanting kuning producers as respondents. Estimation of the Cobb-Douglas production function coefficient using multiple linear regression. The results showed that capital, raw materials, and labor had a positive and significant effect on the number of lanting kuning production. The level of efficiency is in decreasing return to scale, which means that increasing the use of all factors of production will be greater than the increase in the number of lanting kuning production. The implication is that the government provides support to micro and small businesses in the form of encouraging banks to provide a portion of working capital loans with interest and conditions that are easily fulfilled by producers. Local governments can help from upstream to downstream, for example, conduct training on how to work with cassava farmers to ensure the availability of raw materials for making lanting kuning, conduct training to improve skills to make food products that are safe for consumption and halal, and teach how to expand the marketing of production.Keywords: Cassava, Capital, Raw materials, Labor, Total production.
