then consulted with representatives of youth organizations to obtain a
number of inputs. One of the issues raised is that the Indonesian Youth
Development Index has not given full attention to the domains and indicators
that have specific targets such as marginalized youth in various aspects
(gender, youth with disabilities, religious minorities, migrants, refugees, etc).
The issue of marginalized youth in various aspects needs to be included in
the youth development index because it is in accordance with the slogan of
sustainable development goals namely “no one left behind”. Issues that are
quite vulnerable to occur in Indonesia but are still hidden and many disparities
in access and support are disabled. Indonesian Law No. 8 of 2016 shows that
the Indonesian government should be principled to oppose discrimination
against persons with disabilities as stated in the 2011 United Nations
convention on the rights of persons with disabilities.
It has been estimated that between 4 percent and 11 percent of the
Indonesian population is affected by a disability that limits their ability to
participate in society. This wide range in the prevalence rate arises from
different surveys defining and measuring disability differently. Although there
are differences in the number of people who are classified as disabled by the
various surveys, there are patterns that are consistent across the various
surveys. For example, people with a hearing difficulty participate more in the
labour market than any other disabled group, and households with a person
with a disability have lower expenditure per capita (as a measurement for
income per capita).
One survey in Indonesia that can find out the prevalence of people with
disabilities is Socio-Economic National Survey or Survei Sosial Ekonomi
Nasional (SUSENAS). This survey is also one of the surveys used to scoring the
youth development index. With this survey, youth with disabilities can be used
as an indicator in calculating the youth development index so that the index
can increasingly describe youth development including marginalized youth.
The province of South Kalimantan is a province that has the lowest youth
development index in Indonesia. The gender and discrimination dimension
also become dimensions with the smallest values among the other
dimensions. With this in mind, the South Kalimantan government needs to
know in more detail the measurement of the youth development index in the
area mainly by including indicators of marginalized youth. Analysis at a lower
level is also done to get a better picture of youth and make the government
more focuses to intervene the youth so that the steps taken can be more
effective and efficient. In this research, a lower level of analysis was carried out
by dividing youth into gender groups and the classification of urban-rural
residences.
At the end, the development of youth can be monitored and prioritized on
indicators that better describe the actual conditions. Moreover, the youth
