Abstract:

This study aims to examine the determinant of food security in a disabled household in Indonesia. This research is analyzed with a sustainable livelihood perspective and modified with household characteristics in a disabled household. The research data used cross section data covering IFLS wave 5 data taken in 2014-2015 using sample of 2,407 households with disabilities based on their chronic conditions. This study uses a binary logistic regression method with the dependent variable being food security status, while the independent variable is a sustainable livelihood perspective (covering maternal education, income, disaster risk, access to information, arisan participation) and household characteristics (covering the number of household members). The results showed that all independent variables, both mother's education, income, natural disaster risk, access to information, arisan participation, and a number of family members had a statistically significant effect on the food security of disabled households. It is concluded from the study that empirical research results are useful to consider in formulating policies related to food security for disabled households.
