It is estimated that Indonesia in 2007 had 47,702,310 microenterprises that provided jobs for 77,061,669 people, which represents 81.7% of all employed workers at that time in the country (BPS, 2008). Despite this scale, microenterprise based livelihoods have distinct forms of vulnerability, such as: inadequate or deeply uneven income streams, low productivity, and difficult working conditions (ILO, 2010). In this project we specifically focus on mobile food vendors, one of many types of microentrepreneur in Indonesia. read more

Recent studies on Balinese religion discuss the emergence of Agama Hindu as a new religion and the proliferation of new religious movements such as Sai Baba1. Leo Howe, an anthropologist working on Balinese religion, stated that the proliferation of Sai Baba followers in Bali is a result of the introduction of various Indian religious traditions to the island by its intellectuals. A recent observation of the Sai Baba movement will clearly show that this movement is growing more popular especially since the transition to post-New Order Indonesia in 1998. In contrast with the New Order era when Sai Baba was under strict scrutiny, these groups are now warmly accepted by a far wider audience and especially from educated affluent urbanites. read more
