Regional Politics and Their Effects on the Labour Market (Kebijakan dan Strategi Pengembangan Regional dan Kaitannya Dengan Pasar Kerja)
The main objective of national development is the fair distribution of its results which depends to a considerable degree on the population situation and population distribution. In Indonesia, a programme of unequal developmental distribution would only increase the gap between regions. Those participating in the development programme have become a source of labour and in important element of efficacy. And yet, at the regional level, development has taken on variable characteristics and there should be bridges spanning the regions. The regional development programmes operating within the framework of the Presidential Instructions system (INPRES) have had an impact on the regional economies, as can be seen from the increased levels of employment and the multiplication of national products (INDONESIA, DEVELOPMENT POLICY, REGIONAL PLANNING, LABOUR MARKET)

Contraceptive Use in Indonesia. A History of the Programme and the Characteristics of Users
The various national development programmes launched in Indonesia during the last twenty years have led to a decline in fertility and mortality rates, as well as a reduction in the rate of population growth. These efforts must continue. A private family planning programme was launched in the late 1950s and was nationalised in the early 1970s. Financed by the Government and by both foreign and international agencies, it supplies services and contraceptive means to the couples concerned. In 1987, 60% of the users are given free contraceptives. The rate of contraceptive use has increased from 27% in 1980 to 48% in 1987. The author believes that Java and Bali have practically reached the reduced fertility model of two children. The article describes the regional variations in rates of use and surveys the elements which may provide an explanation: spatial distribution of the dispensaries, the number of live children, the education level of the women and their husbands, marriage duration, religion, etc. (INDONESIA, FAMILY PLANNING PROGRAM, CONTRACEPTIVE PRACTICE, CONTRACEPTIVE DISTRIBUTION)

Mother and Child Mortality in Indonesia (Angka Kematian Bayi dan Angka Kematian Maternal di Indonesia: Variasi dan Kecenderungannya)
The rate of infant mortality and the rate of maternal mortality are often used as indicators of social development. The author provides an update on these two parameters in Indonesia, by processing the various sets of data and by using various methods. The analysis concludes that there are considerable regional variations in infant mortality trends and in the differential characteristics of the two rates.

The Effect of Family Composition on the Nutritional Status of the Children on their 1st Year Elementary School (Efek Komposisi Demografis Rumah Tangga terhadap Status Gizi Anak Kelas I Sekolah Dasar)
This study attempts to analyze the variables of nutritional status found among children of elementary school age in West Sumatera by utilizing the rural household data. The nutritional status under observation was that of the children of the first year elementary schools and was based on the correlation of the physical height and the standard age. The findings show that there is a difference in the nutritional status between male and female children which was accounted for by the number of family composition.

A Comparison of Determinants of Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) between Countries with High and Low IMR
The infant mortality rate is often considered to be a good synthetic indicator of a country's socio-economic development. By applying a statistical model (weighted least-squares regression) to the data in the UNESCO report on children's conditions in the world (1987), the authors attempt to elucidate the relationships existing betwen various environmental, demographic and socio-economic factors and the infant mortality rate, as well as trends in these relationships when the rate begins to decline. They compare results between countries with high infant mortality and countries with low rates. As was to be expected, the infant mortality rate is closely linked to the overall socio-economic status of a country. Where it is high, the environmental determinants are of primordial importance and they disappear when the rate falls. It is the mother's level of education which is the greatest contributory factor to infant mortality decline: poor countries should therefore make women's education (in its widest sense) a priority in their development policy.
