Cognitive and non-cognitive abilities are essential indicators in assessing an individual's human resource (HR) capacity. Cognitive abilities refer to intellectual potential, while non-cognitive abilities encompass social and emotional aspects. This study aims to analyze the relationship between cognitive and non-cognitive skills and preferences for formal or informal employment sectors. The research utilizes secondary data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) conducted in 2014 and employs a probit regression method with several control variables. The analysis reveals that cognitive skills have a significantly positive association with the likelihood of working in the formal sector. These findings provide valuable insights into the role of individual skills in determining employment sector choices.

Knowledge about sexual harassment committed by males with intellectual disabilities remains limited, despite extensive research on offenders without disabilities. Evidence from the late 1990s suggests that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can be effective for this population, with adjustments for cognitive deficits. This study systematically reviews the application of CBT to address cognitive distortions in sexual offenders with intellectual disabilities. Data were sourced from Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ProQuest, Jstor, and Emerald Insight. Articles were assessed using QATFQS for quality and ROBINS-I for bias risk. Six studies involving 127 participants (ages 17–65 years) demonstrated that CBT effectively reduced cognitive distortions up to 12 months post-intervention. Success factors included the presentation of information, therapist engagement, participant motivation, prior experiences of sexual harassment, and autism spectrum diagnoses. Strengths included simplified CBT interventions, availability of manuals, and group implementation. Weaknesses involved reliance on core steps adapted from general sexual offender programs, limited manual accessibility, and a lack of control groups for evaluating intervention effectiveness.
