Demographic Transition Revisited: Low Fertility, Socioeconomic Development, and Gender Equity
2020Co-Authors: Thomas M. Anderson, Hanspeter KohlerAbstract:While new empirical findings and theoretical frameworks provide insight into the interrelations between Socioeconomic Development, gender equity, and low fertility, puzzling exceptions and outliers in these findings call for a more all-encompassing framework to understand the inter-play between these processes. We argue that the pace and onset of Development are two important factors to be considered when analyzing gender equity and fertility. Within the developed world, “first-wave developers”—or countries that began Socioeconomic Development in the 19th/early 20th century – currently have much higher fertility levels than “late developers”. We lay out a novel theoretical approach to explain why this is the case and provide empirical evidence to support our argument. Our approach not only explains historical periods of low fertility but also sheds light on why there exists such large variance in fertility rates among to-day’s developed countries.

examining the ict access effect on Socioeconomic Development the moderating role of ict use and skills
Information Technology for Development, 2017Co-Authors: Maria Veronica AldereteAbstract:This paper examines the role that Information and Communication Technologies ICT play in the Socioeconomic Development of countries. The proposed model analyzes the relationship between ICT access available ICT infrastructure and individual’s access to ICT, ICT use ICT intensity and usage, and ICT skills, and Socioeconomic Development. The methodology employed consists of a Structural Equation Model SEM. To achieve this goal, country-level data across 163 countries for the year 2013 is used from developing to developed countries. Results obtained indicate the moderating role of ICT use and skills in the relationship between ICT access and the Socioeconomic Development. The ICT usage and ICT skills enhance the effect of ICT access on the Socioeconomic Development. The model is robust with respect to the Development level.

Spatial Disparities in Socioeconomic Development: The Case of Pakistan
The Pakistan Development Review, 2016Co-Authors: Haroon JamalAbstract:Rising spatial disparities in Socioeconomic Development is a major concern in developing economies. Regional inequality is a dimension of overall inequality, but it has added significance when spatial and regional divisions align with political and ethnic tensions to undermine social and political stability. This paper is an attempt to document the extent and nature of regional inequality in the level of Socioeconomic Development. Seventeen indicators related to human resources and standards of living are developed from the district representative household data of Pakistan Social and Living-Standard Measurement (PSLM) survey for the year 2012-13. Development Indicators, for the first time in Pakistan are also aggregated at sub-district level to incorporate the intra-district inequalities in the analysis of spatial disparities. The study provides provincial multidimensional Gini coefficients and district Development ranking to evaluate inter and intra provincial disparities respectively in the selected dimensions of Socioeconomic Development with the help of Inequality-adjusted Socioeconomic Development Index (ISDI).

How Is Islamic Religiosity Connected with Socioeconomic Development
International Journal of Advances in Social and Economics, 2019Co-Authors: Mochammad Arif Budiman, Nurhidayati Dahlan, Priyougie PriyougieAbstract:Majority of the Muslim countries around the globe have been still experiencing a low level of Development in various aspects of life compared to non-Muslim countries. Indonesia as the most populous Muslim country is not an exception. As far as Islam is concerned, this fact shows an irony for this religion strongly propels its adherents to pursue an excellent life ( hayatan thayybah ) both in worldly life and hereafter. Moreover in Islam, religion and Development are very closely related each other where the level of Development is dependent upon the implementation of religion in the society. The existence of Islam in a particular society should ideally lead such a society to be developed. This paper attempts to investigate the connection between Islam and Development in South Kalimantan province, Indonesia. The province is selected for the study as it has long tradition of Islam, but it is reported to have a low level Development. The objective of this study is to reveal the actual role of Islam on the society and to examine its connection to Socioeconomic Development using Maqasid al-Shari’ah framework. The survey method was employed for the data collection and Structural Equation Modeling used for the analysis. The findings showed that religiosity was positively related to various aspects of Socioeconomic Development as measured by the components of Maqasid al-Shari’ah .

Islamic Religiosity and Socioeconomic Development: A CaseStudy
2016Co-Authors: Mochammad Arif Budiman, Manik Mutiara Sadewa, Mairijani MairijaniAbstract:According to Islam, religion and Development are closely related where the level of Development is dependent upon the implementation of religion in the society (QS. 7:96; 65:2-4). However, the general condition of the Muslim ummah today seems to be the opposite of what it should be, including in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. On the one hand, the Muslim society seems to be highly religious, but the province has exhibited a low level of Development as indicated by the low HDI (Human Development Index). This study attempts to resolve the above issue by examining the role of religiosity and its relationship on Socioeconomic Development using Maqasid al-Shari’ah framework. The framework consists of five components, i.e., preservation of religion, preservation of life, preservation of intellect, preservation of posterity and preservation of wealth. The survey method was employed for the data collection and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) used for the analysis. The findings showed that religiosity was positively related to various aspects of Socioeconomic Development as measured by the components of Maqasid al-Shari’ah.
