DAMPAK KETIMPANGAN GENDER TERHADAP PERTUMBUHAN EKONOMI DI INDONESIA

Abstract

There is no any region in a developing country where women have got equality in legal, social and economic rights (United Nations Development Programme, 2010). Gender inequality occurs in education, employment, access to resources, economy, power, and political participation. Women bear the heaviest burden as a result of inequality, but basically, inequality harms everyone, and ultimately hurts the economy of a country. This study aims to analyze gender inequality in Indonesia by using the Gender Development Index (GDI) and the Human Development Index (HDI). Descriptive analysis shows that there is a gender inequality, seen from the distance between HDI and GDI.
