Economic Resilience, Welfare, Paitua, Social Safety Net, Older AdultsAbstract
Older adults in Southwest Papua are increasingly vulnerable both socially and economically, while the
Paitua Program as a social safety net has not been empirically assessed. This study establishes a baseline
evaluation using an Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods design, combining quantitative and qualitative
approaches. Data were collected from 270 elderly respondents and five informants through questionnaires,
interviews, observation, and document review. Quantitative data were analyzed with descriptive and inferential
statistics, while qualitative findings were examined through thematic-phenomenological analysis. Results reveal
that the Paitua Program influences elderly well-being across economic, social, and psychological dimensions. The
program not only addresses basic needs but also reduces family burdens, enhances security, and improves self
worth. Average scores were 2.88 for satisfaction, 3.09 for economic resilience, and 2.81 for overall well-being.
Hypothesis testing confirmed significant positive effects both partially (t-test: well-being = 17.929; economic
resilience = 3.970 > t-table 1.650) and simultaneously (f-test = 257.887 > f-table 3.029). The novelty of this study
highlights that direct cash transfers strengthen not only economic resilience but also social and psychological
well-being, an area rarely emphasized in prior research.
