Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the role of social services, women’s empowerment, and child protection in improving the economic status of families with disabilities in Mojokerto City.

Research Methodology: A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Triangulation was used to ensure the validity of the data, and narrative analysis identified patterns, themes, and relationships.

Results: The findings reveal that the Social Service, Women’s Empowerment, and Child Protection Office of Mojokerto City has performed moderately well in empowering people with disabilities. Programs such as skills training, social assistance distribution, and facilitation of population and health documentation have contributed positively to the economic welfare of families with disabilities. However, limitations were noted in socialization efforts, community communication, and the availability of disability-related information.

Conclusions: Empowerment efforts by the Mojokerto City social services have succeeded in enhancing the economic status of families with disabilities, particularly through capacity-building and support programs. Nevertheless, optimization is required in information dissemination and community engagement to maximize impact.

Limitations: The study focuses on a single city and relies primarily on qualitative data from interviews and observations, which may not fully generalize to other regions or represent the perspectives of all stakeholders. Future research should consider broader samples and mixed-method approaches to validate and extend these findings.

Contributions: This study provides empirical evidence on the role of local social services in promoting economic empowerment for families with disabilities. It highlights effective strategies and areas needing improvement, offering guidance for policymakers and social service administrators.
