| Abstrak/Abstract |
Early marriage has been one of the issues still happening in Empat Lawang Regency. The First Marriage Age (UKP) percentage of teenagers aged 16 and under is 15.78%, and the percentage of 17-18-year-olds is 22.28%. As a result, adverse effects on health, economy, education, and social religion have also emerged. To overcome this, stakeholders from local government elements have tried to carry out various early marriage reduction programs by coordinating across sectors. This study aimed to identify the coordination and inhibitory factors that appeared in the process. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach to data collection techniques: interviews, observations and documentation. The study results showed that coordination was carried out according to the purpose of the countermeasures. Based on its involvement, coordination is divided into functional coordination, instantaneous coordination and territorial coordination. On the other hand, multi-stakeholder communication is carried out horizontally and vertically. The inhibitory factors in the coordination process are the need for more mutual understanding between stakeholders, the lack of quality skilled workers and the lack of public awareness of the negative effects of early marriage. The support factors are individual values and the communication of individual stakeholders. |
