Social Welfare Index as an Indicator of the Success of Social Welfare Implementation in Indonesia

Abstract

Undang-Undang  No. 11 of 2009 concerning social welfare is a directed, integrated, and sustainable effort carried out by the Government, local government, and the community in the form of social services to meet the basic needs of every citizen, which includes social rehabilitation, social security, social empowerment, and social protection. Social welfare indicators themselves are defined in various ways, also depending on the characteristics of the region itself. This means that in measuring the Social Welfare Index (Social Welfare Index) we need indicators that truly reflect conditions that can explain the actual conditions of the welfare of the community itself so that the programs implemented by policymakers can be following the existing problems. This study aims to explore more contextually about the Social Welfare Index (Social Welfare Index) as an indicator of the success of implementing social welfare in Indonesia. There are still limitations to finding similar research, so this research will form the basis for studies, especially for both central and regional governments as an indicator of performance success. Based on studies published and indexed by Scopus, this research is based on bibliometric research to see the contextual development of the Social Welfare Index (Social Welfare Index). The bibliometric approach to review has gained popularity due to several factors, including the introduction of software, cross-disciplines, and increased ability to handle large volumes of data. Data analysis in this study used VOSviewer to identify the relationship between the literature on the key Social Welfare Index (SWI) so that it can support the key findings of the Social Welfare Index (SWI) as an Indicator of Successful Implementation of Social Welfare. The results of the study show that the development of the literature on the Social Welfare Index (Social Welfare Index) has been little researched in recent years.  The development of literature on the Social Welfare Index (Social Welfare Index) is very helpful in terms of reference for policymakers, especially in dealing with social problems.
