The Impact of the Indonesian Financial Crisis on Children : Data from 100 Villages Survey
The author examines the Asian
crisis's impact on children in 100 Indonesian villages,
based on data from four rounds of the 100 villages surveys
that was used to examine changes in health status, school
attendance rates, and children's participation in the
labor force. She finds little evidence that the crisis had a
dramatically negative impact on children. School attendance
dropped slightly after the onset of the crisis but then
rebounded to higher-than-pre-crisis levels. Fewer children
are now working, although the older children who are working
and are not attending school seem to be working longer
hours. Children's health status appears to be
relatively stable, although comparisons of indicators of
children's health status over time are complicated by
changes in the questionnaire used. The author also examines
ways households reported they were coping with the crisis.
