The use of long-acting and permanent methods of contraception (LAPMs) by couples of reproductive age in Jambi Province is still comparatively low. Long-term contraception users were only 18.26 percent in 2018. Based on these, the objective of the study is to analyze as follows: 1) the determinants of LAPMs and non-LAPMs used by couples of reproductive age; 2) the relationship between couples of reproductive age and use of LAPMs. Data is obtained from the 2018 Performance Monitoring and Accountability of Population, Family Planning, and Family Development programs. Data were analyzed using binary logistic regression, One-way ANOVA and Chi-Square Test. The results of the analysis found that the determinants of LAPM and non-LAPM selection by couples of reproductive age are woman’s educational attainment, woman’s employment status, the difference between ideal and actual number of surviving children, the desire for more children, the knowledge of contraceptive methods, economic conditions, and urban-rural residence. Furthermore, the characteristics of couples of reproductive age significantly related to the LAPM choice include woman’s age, woman’s educational attainment, the actual number of surviving children, the difference between ideal and actual number of surviving children, the desire for more children, the knowledge of contraceptive methods, economic conditions, and urban-rural residence.

This study aims to analyze: 1) the socioeconomic characteristics and NEET (Not in employment, education, or training) status of young individuals in Jambi Province; 2) the determinants influencing the NEET status of young people in Jambi Province. The data utilized in this study is derived from a survey conducted in four sample villages within Jambi Province, consisting of 200 young participants. Descriptive statistical tools, single-frequency and cross-frequency tables, and binary logit regression are employed for analysis. The findings of the study reveal that: 1) NEET youth, when compared to non-NEET youth, tend to be older, have a higher proportion of females, possess higher education levels, are more likely to be married, are predominantly non-migrants, and have fewer siblings or step-siblings; 2) The parents of NEET youth, in comparison to non-NEET youth, generally have higher incomes and predominantly belong to non-Malay ethnicities in Jambi. 3) Factors significantly impacting the categorization of youth as NEET include gender, education, marital status, and parental income.

This study examines older adults' subjective well-being (SWB) in Jambi Province, Indonesia, and identifies the key socio-economic determinants influencing their well-being. Using a structured survey of 207 respondents aged 60 and above, SWB was measured through a 19-item instrument encompassing life satisfaction, emotional well-being, and sense of purpose. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that increasing age correlates with a decline in SWB while being female, having a higher level of education, maintaining an active role in the household, being married, and having a stable source of income contribute positively. Pensions or steady financial support can significantly enhance well-being, often even more than simply having a job. On the other hand, larger households may lead to lower well-being, likely because of the financial strain and caregiving demands they bring. Interestingly, older adults from the Malay and Bugis/Banjar ethnic groups tend to feel better than those from the Javanese/Sundanese groups. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening social security systems, lifelong learning programs, and community-based support to enhance the well-being of older adults.

This study aims to examine the entrepreneurial intentions and characteristics of the millennial generation in rural areas of Jambi Province and to identify the factors influencing these intentions. Data were collected through a survey of millennials in rural Jambi and were analyzed using descriptive statistical tools and the Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) approach. The key variables evaluated were individual characteristics, attitudinal factors, and contextual factors. The findings indicate that the entrepreneurial interest of millennials in rural Jambi is relatively high, signaling a promising potential for the emergence of young entrepreneurs in the future. The surveyed millennials' attitudinal and contextual factors directly influence this entrepreneurial interest. While individual characteristics do not directly impact entrepreneurial intentions, they exert an indirect influence mediated by attitudinal and contextual factors.

High population growth without concurrent improvements in human quality poses significant challenges in promoting equitable welfare across various life aspects. Thus, population control is crucial for achieving sustainable development goals. This study emphasizes the role of Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) in managing fertility rates and investigates three main components of population growth: fertility, mortality, and migration. The objectives are threefold: 1) Analyze the profile of fertile-age couples using LARC in rural Jambi; 2) Investigate the socio-economic factors influencing the choice between LARC and non-LARC methods among these couples; 3) Explore the relationship between the couples' characteristics and their choice of LARC. Data were collected from a survey of 200 fertile-age couples participating in a family planning program across four villages in Jambi. The analysis utilized descriptive statistics, binary logistic regression, and multinomial logistic regression. Findings indicate that LARC usage among fertile-age couples in rural Jambi is low, at approximately 28% of total contraceptive users, with implants being the most common LARC type. In contrast, non-LARC methods are more prevalent, accounting for 72% of usage, dominated by three-month injectables, followed by pills and male condoms. Significant factors influencing the choice between LARC and non-LARC include the husband's education, the woman's employment status, the number of living children, the disparity between actual and ideal family size, desire for more children, knowledge about contraceptive options, and family income. Furthermore, characteristics significantly related to the choice of LARC methods such as tubal ligation, implants, and IUDs include the woman's age, number of living children, the gap between the ideal and actual number of children, desire for more children, woman's employment status, knowledge about contraceptive devices, and family income.
