ABSTRACT
This chapter analyzes accessibility to three services: health, education, and employment. This chapter argues how services facilitate income-generating activities that enable people to become more active citizens. These are essential aspects of human rights of citizenship, belonging, and development. This chapter shows how the respondents of both neighborhoods manage their health facilities, children’s education, and employment in the face of exclusion. This chapter addresses the situation in the Korail and BRP neighborhoods by posing some questions such as does everyone have equal access to public services? If not, do they possess alternative sources for them? Can the private sector and NGOs play a role in providing alternative services in the face of inaccessibility? For example, this chapter explores how formal housing inhabitants have fewer alternatives than informal neighborhood inhabitants in terms of health care. However, it also explained that despite the larger number of schools, including private primary and high schools, NGO schools and madrasas, informal housing parents could afford less schooling for their children than the formal housing parents owing to economic crises, housing instability, need for child labor, eviction threats, and other factors.
