1. Generation Z's Perspective on Underage Marriage

Gen Z no longer wants to marry young. The trend of early marriage is no
longer as massive as it was in previous generations. Marriage is still
something sacred. And for most people, especially in our country, marriage is
an achievement or milestone in one's life. Being unmarried at the age of 25 and
above is often seen as a disgrace. Therefore, it is not uncommon for young
people, even teenagers, to decide to get married at an early age. Especially for
women who live in rural areas. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS)
states that one in four girls in Indonesia was married under the age of 18 from
2008 to 2015. In 2012, around 1,348,886 girls were married under the age of 18.
Even more sadly, every year, an estimated 300,000 girls in Indonesia are
married under the age of 16. The data, as quoted from The Conversation,
states, "It seems that in the 7 years from 2008 to 2015, there was only a slight
decrease in the number of early marriages in Indonesia. Because the age
below 18 is still classified as a child, it means that marriages under 18 are child
marriages." The minimum age limit for marriage is stipulated in Law No.
1/1974 that a man must be at least 19 years old and a woman must be at least
16 years old. However, the regulation was revised by Law Number 16 of 2019
that marriage can be carried out by women and men aged at least 19 years.
The results of the revision provide a lot of space for women to pursue a career
or reach their dreams first, just like men. After the revision of the law, there
was indeed a gradual decline in early marriage. As BPS data shows, the
national early marriage rate has decreased from 11.21 percent in 2018 to
10.82 percent in 2019. And in 2020, it was at 10.35 percent, then decreased
again to 9.23 percent in 2021. An opinionated woman, NR (18 years old) said,
"Why marry young? If you are young, there is a lot that can be achieved. Still
free. And also immature thinking, mentally unstable, finances are also
unstable."

2. Students' Views and Responses to the 2024 Presidential Election

 This phenomenon caught the attention of one of the UMM Government
Science Study Program students class of 2020, Ahmad Fauzan. He said that in
terms of quantity, youth will dominate more, especially in terms of democracy
which implements the majority of votes. "As from the demographic bonus that
has begun to be read, that the dominance of youth in Indonesia is quite a lot
which will also indirectly indicate that the 2024 elections will be dominated by
productive age," said Fauzan. However, political awareness for young voters is
still questionable. Fauzan explained, as part of the productive age, one of the
obstacles that caused the decline in political participation of the productive
age generation was a crisis of confidence in the performance of power,
especially the government. "So, to increase participation, the younger
generation must gain trust from the government to complete all
responsibilities and mandates as well as possible and realize that political
participation from the younger generation is very important for the future
direction of the nation," he said. The role of the rapid development of
technology is certainly very influential on the participation of young voters. One
of the influences is the flow of information that comes and goes. The speed of
information, especially through creative media that is currently favored by
young people. "The conditions of the current political year are certainly
different from 5 or 10 years ago, where the dynamics of youth participation at
that time were still very much influenced by figures that were built less
optimally and still tended to be outdated when measured against the present.
But, now everything has changed and become more dynamic in every
movement, where one of the main drivers is the development of information
technology," he said.
Finally, as part of the productive age with voting rights in the upcoming 2024
elections, Fauzan advised "For young voters including me, let's convey our
voting rights, of course with the aim of going to the good, none other than for a
better future for Indonesia," he concluded.

3. The Role of Students in Overcoming Drug Abuse in Campus and Community

Environments
Head of the National Narcotics Agency (BNN) of Central Kalimantan
Province, Brigadier General of Police Drs. Sumirat Dwiyanto, M.Si said that
students are the golden generation of Indonesia in 2045 which will later realize
the Golden Indonesia as future leaders for an advanced and better Indonesia
which we must jointly protect from the abuse and illicit trafficking of narcotics
that can damage the nation's generation. Sumirat invites all students to be able
to make the surrounding environment free from drugs and do not hesitate to
report if there are friends, relatives or people known to use drugs for
immediate further action, such as counseling or rehabilitation where all costs
are free.
