Abstract

Indonesia, known as an agricultural country, is marked by the majority of people living in village/ rural whose daily working is as farmer. To the year of 2005, there has been about 17,9 million agricultural workfield within the broad area of 15,4 million land where the usage of the land employed was about 0,7 hectare. This phenomenon shows such a decrease in the land ownership. This changing phenomenon of land ownership, creates a problem on working opportunity, since it has been any limitation on the widespread of workforce.This condition impacts on the changes within Java’s rurals which leads to the unsufficiency of employment in the agricultural sectore. Such alternative should be considered, by promoting city mobility program, by taking the other industrial activities which stands to be their major expectation. On the other sides, the home industries are commonly recognized by the rurals. The rurals then start to be introduced about the small scale market economy. This strategy benefits the rurals in terms of providing a chance for their products (rural product) to be sold.Compared with the other countries in ASEAN Community position Indonesia were complexity problem. Exspeciale population growth ± 1,9 percent. Until 2015, Indonesia population about 250 milion, mayority (± 68percent) living in village as a farmer. Their income percapita under us$ 1000.Key Words : Rural, Liberalism Household Industries

Review

This paper addresses a highly pertinent issue concerning Indonesia's economic transition and its preparedness for regional integration within the ASEAN Community, specifically focusing on the shift from a predominantly agricultural economy to one that leverages household industries. The abstract effectively highlights a critical demographic and economic challenge: the declining availability of agricultural land and subsequent employment in rural areas, coupled with a significant rural population reliant on farming. It proposes household industries and small-scale market economies as a potential alternative, aimed at creating opportunities for rural products. The ambition to contextualize these domestic challenges within the broader ASEAN framework of 2015 adds a layer of strategic importance to the study. The strength of this work, as suggested by the abstract, lies in its identification of a crucial nexus between rural livelihoods, land ownership patterns, and national economic strategy. By presenting specific statistics regarding agricultural land, workforce, population growth, and per capita income, the authors demonstrate an intent to provide an empirical foundation for their analysis. The emphasis on promoting household industries as a means to diversify income and provide employment for the large rural population is a relevant and potentially impactful area of inquiry for a developing agricultural economy like Indonesia. Furthermore, situating this discussion within the context of ASEAN community integration underscores the paper's potential to offer insights into Indonesia's competitive positioning and strategies for sustainable rural development. However, the abstract also raises several questions regarding the depth and clarity of the paper's analysis. The language itself could benefit from significant refinement to improve clarity and flow, which might indicate similar issues within the full manuscript. While suggesting household industries as an alternative, the abstract lacks specifics on *how* this transition is to be achieved, the challenges inherent in scaling such initiatives, or the policy mechanisms required. The connection to "Liberalism Household Industries" as a keyword is intriguing but not elaborated, leaving readers to wonder about its specific theoretical framework. More critically, the abstract does not clearly articulate the methodology used to assess Indonesia's "complexity problem" facing ASEAN 2015, nor does it hint at specific policy recommendations or a deeper analysis of the competitive landscape. To enhance its contribution, the paper would need to clearly define its analytical framework, provide concrete examples or case studies, and offer actionable insights derived from a rigorous assessment of the proposed strategies.
