I J A B E R, Vol. 13, No. 6 (2015): 4371-4384 ECONOMIC LITERACY AND THE SOCIO-ECONOMIC CONDITION OF COASTAL COMMUNITIES IN INDONESIA Muhammad Rakib 1 Abstract: The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of economic literacy and socio-economic conditions on the consumption behavior of coastal communities in Indonesia. The study composed of 1,700 households, and samples were taken from 10% of the population,i.e., 170 respondents. The data collection techniques used were questionnaires, observations, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis involved the use of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis techniques. The results showed that economic literacy has positive and significant effects(15.90%) on the consumption behavior of coastal communities in Pinrang Regency, and the socio-economic condition of the family has a positive and significant effect (14.90%) on consumer behavior in rural coastal communities of Indonesia. It is therefore recommended that the government promotes or develop the economies of coastal communities by improving economic literacy for the creation of rational consumption behaviors of citizens. Keywords: Economic literacy, social economic conditions, consumer behavior INTRODUCTION Studies of consumption and business cycles are important, because they help to explain factors that affect economic growth and expansion. Research shows that consumption patterns are not the same for all product categories (Bergh, 2013), something which influences consumption behaviors. In effort to fulfil needs, consumers are often pushed by specific motives to obtain the goods and services they require. Consumption motives in modern society are based more on emotional than rational motives. Problems faced by the community in daily life are filled with various consumption activities. Consumption of a good or service forms a certain lifestyle from a specific status group, and a base for climbing up from the status group. Someone in the upper class tends to have a different lifestyle than someone in the lowest class. Those in the upper class tend to consume more than those in the bottom class. This consumption imbalance occurs because an abundance of resources facilitates spending, and, if such spending is 1. Fakultas Ekonomi, Universitas Negeri Makassar, E-mail: rakmadunm@gmail.com

4372 Muhammad Rakib undertaken without being based on a rationale of economic literacy, consumptive behavior will likely result. The coastal communities are famed for their tough character. This character is warranted because the lifestyle of these communities is heavily dependent on nature. Characteristically, these coastal communities have chosen fishing as their main source of income. In the coastal community of Pinrang Regency in Indonesia, the education system differs from that of urban communities. The majority of the coastal communities adhere to an education which is based on life experiences. Formal schooling in the coastal communities is extremely limited and supported by less than adequate facilities, making education in the coastal communities of a poor quality. Added to this is the way of thinking, culture and economic pressures. These issues influence the level of community understanding (literacy) regarding basic needs, scarcity of means of fulfilling needs, economic principles, economic motives and low economic activity, which affect consumption behavior. The socio-economic condition of the coastal community can be assessed based on education level, type of work, income level, ownership of economic valuables, and quality and status of residence (home ownership). The coastal communities have several characteristics, namely: (1) levels of education of fishermen so low that there is no choice of employment other than continuing as a fisherman, (2) fishermen s income (daily increments) of un-fixed amounts, with income dependent on season and fisherman s status, and(3) fishermen are closely related to the barter economy and production is not related to staple food. The consumption behavior of the coastal communities is more consumptive. When the incomes of these communities is high, their consumption pattern is accordingly high. However, when income is low, these communities survive by selling their valuables or borrowing money at high interest rates. Based on these details, we gain an indication of the problem, namely, how does the economic literacy level and family socio-economic condition influence the consumption behavior of the coastal community in Pinrang Regency? Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the influence of economic literacy level and family socio-economic condition on consumption behavior for the coastal community of Pinrang Regency. LITERATURE REVIEW Wulandari (2011) found that economic literacy is a life skill necessary to making appropriate economic decisions. Johnson (2013) stated that Economic literacy is defined as the competence in identifying and evaluating economic concepts as

Economic Literacy and the Socio-Economic Condition of Coastal Communities 4373 it relates to personal finance, the economy, and political systems. Salemi (2005) emphasizes economic literacy for learners ability to apply basic economic concepts to situations relevant to their daily lives. Buckley (2013) defined economic literacy as an investment because a person with good economic literacy will manage access to significantly increased educational standards and social welfare, be more sensitive to the threat of fraud / financial manipulation, and become increasingly wise in making financial decisions. Economic literacy should be taken seriously because of its relationship with a person s ability to understand the economy as a whole, which affects one s ability to improve one s quality of life. A person who does not have adequate economic literacy will fail to manage his or her money, may become trapped in debt and experience various problems in developing a career(harris, 2009). Mathews (1999) states that economic literacy is an individual ability to recognize and use economic concepts and an economic way of thinking to gain and improve prosperity. Ability signifies an indication that understanding economic literacy results from a sustainable learning process. Based on the various opinions mentioned above, economic literacy allows a person to understand economic concepts well enough to make intelligent choices based on knowledge of basic needs, scarcity of means of fulfilling requirements, economic principles, economic motives and economic activities. Economic literacy plays an important role in making intelligent choices. According to Sitorus (2000) social status determines an individual s position in society. Social status is based on the differentiation of society into vertical classes according to wealth. A Socio-economic condition, particularly economic class, is usually used to create layers of society based on economic elements. Based on Sitorus opinion, socio- economic class shapesan individual s status or position in society. In other words, vertical differentiation of society into classes is embodied by the existence of social levels ranging from high to low based on wealth. According tomax Webber, socio-economic conditions divide society into classes based on ownership of land and possessions. These classes are upper class, middle class and lower class. Division of society in this way still makes it possible for a person in the lower class to rise to the upper class, and conversely, a person from the upper class may fall to a lower class, depending on the accomplishment and fortitude of that person. Socio-economic conditions also differentiate society according to ownership and the control of material. There are categories of people based on ownership of wealth and economic activity who use their accomplishments. In other words, income, education, ownership of wealth and employment divide members of a society into various layers or social classes within a society.

4374 Muhammad Rakib As such, an individual s socio-economic condition is an indicator of his or her status or position in society, based on the vertical differentiation of society into economic classes. Socio-economic condition is indicated by factors such as education level, type of employment, income level, ownership of economic valuables and home ownership. According to Lamb, Hair, and McDaniel (2001) consumer behavior forms a process for a customer in making a purchasing decision, also to use and throw away goods and services bought, and also include factors which influence decisions to purchase and use a product. According to Umar (2003), consumer behavior is a direct action in obtaining, consuming and using up a product and service, including the preceding decision making process and subsequent action. Consumer behavior also informs study of the decision-making process investigating why consumers buy and consume products (Griffin & Ebert, 2003). Based on these definitions of consumer behavior, it can be said that consumer behavior is a behavioral and consumption activity geared toward finding, regulating, exchanging, sifting, using and evaluating goods and/or services for use is daily life. RESEARCH METHOD This study uses a quantitative approach based on a correlational descriptive survey design model to investigate the influence between several research variables, namely, economic literacy and family social economic condition, as predictor variables, and consumption behavior as a variable criterion. The study examined the coastal community of Pinrang Regency, specifically, Lero village in the Suppa District where 100% of the inhabitants livelihood is based on fishing. This village was selected because it embodies the general characteristics of the coastal community in Pinrang Regency. With 1,700 households, this particular coastal community is large. This study sampled 10% of the community s population, or 170 respondents. The data collation techniques used were questionnaires, observations, interviews and documentation. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses were used to examine the data. RESEARCH RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Presentation and Analysis of the Data Economic Literacy The level of economic literacy of the coastal community of Pinrang Regency is presented in the following table.

This shape means that for each additional point for the variables of economic literacy and family socio- economic condition, there will be an increase of 0.269 points in the consumption behavior variable. DISCUSSION Influence of Economic Literacy on Consumption Behavior Based on the research results showing a value of R of 0.399,an R Square value of 0.159, and a degree of significance of 0,000, the hypothesis that there is a positive and significant influence of economic literacy on the consumption behavior of the coastal community of Pinrang Regency is accepted. These research results show that the level of economic literacy in Pinrang Regency is low, as shown by the level of understanding of the coastal community regarding basic needs, scarcity of means of satisfying requirements, economic principles, economic motivation and economic activities. Of 170 respondents, 60 respondents, or 35.29%,fell into the medium category, and 110 respondents, or 64.71%, fell into the low category, with no respondents falling into the very high, high or very low categories. These results were supported by the percentage calculations, which yielded a result of 48.06% (interval 21% - 40%, low category). These results are in line with the opinion of Sina (2012)that low economic literacy will affect the consumption characteristics of a community. Other indications of low economic literacy include many cases and victims of investment fraud, including the most recent case of Antaboga-Century. Other phenomena include low Indonesian community desire to save and a tendency to spend excessively, rendering it difficult to be an intelligent consumer. By becoming consumers subject to the desire to shop, Indonesians create a life cycle that precludes them from achieving their aspirations. As such, low economic literacy affects community consumption behavior and prosperity. Thus, prioritizing economic literacy is a must for individuals and families who wish to prosper. In other words, increasing the mastery of economic literacy is unarguably necessary and begins from a desire for balanced learning. Increasing economic literacy has a positive effect on the accumulation of assets, the de-accumulation of debt, protection, the accumulation of savings and managing spending(sina, 2012).These results are also in line with Caplan (Kustiandi, 2011), who stated that economic literacy forms knowledge about the economy, which it is necessary because human activity (consumption) is inseparable from economic issues. Furthermore, these results are also in line with Budiwati (2014),

4382 Muhammad Rakib who demonstrated that consumer behavior is influenced by economic literacy. The results of this study show that the higher an individual s economic literacy level, the more rational his or her consumption behavior. Increasing economic literacy is critical in creating rational consumers, and can be achieved through formal economic education, non-formal educational training, or through informal education in the family. Influence of Family Socio-Economic Condition on Consumption Behavior The results demonstrate that family socio-economic condition has a significant and positive influence on the consumption behavior of the coastal community of Pinrang Regency. This influence is evidenced by an R value of 0.386 and an R Square value of 0.149, indicating that the contribution of the family socioeconomic condition variable on the consumption behavior of the community is 14.90%. The remaining 85.10% is determined by other factors. The above results can be explained as follows:(1) education influences the level of knowledge and attitude, which influences consumer behavior within the family, and (2)generally, education influences income level, which influences purchasing power. High purchasing power will provide more choices in determining the variety of food and nutrition consumed. Thus, high levels of income, alongside good attitudes and knowledge of the economy, will have a positive influence on consumption behavior. As such, education and income are key to determining consumption behavior. The implication is that every effort to improve the direction of consumption must attempt to improve income and education. If these goals are undertaken well, but food supply is disrupted, then the effort will be meaningless. This aspect of food availability is also a key factor in the diversity of food consumption (Cahyani,2008). Influence of Economic Literacy and Family Socio-Economic Condition on Consumption Behavior The research results show that economic literacy and family socio-economic condition have a medium and positive simultaneous influence on consumption behavior. The contribution of economic literacy and family socio-economic condition on the consumption behavior of the coastal community of Pinrang Regency is 17.70%, and the remaining 82.30% is determined by other factors.
