| description |
In 2018, Indonesia’s poverty rate fell
below 10 percent for the first time; poverty rates had
halved over the previous two decades, driven in large part
by strong economic growth in the country. Continued economic
growth, rather than changes in distribution, will continue
to be a key driver of poverty reduction. The objective of
continued economic growth and poverty reduction is apparent
in the Government of Indonesia’s new medium-term development
plan (Rencana Pembanguanan Jangka Menengah Nasional or
RPJMN) (2020-2024). Investments in gender equality to close
specific gender gaps have the potential to contribute to
greater economic growth for Indonesia, thereby contributing
to further poverty reduction. The objectives of this report
are to review the current status of gender equality and
women’s issues in Indonesia; and to provide an evidence base
for the Indonesian Government on specific actions and
priority responses needed to close gender gaps to drive the
growth and human capital potential of the country.
Specifically, the assessment focuses on areas where
demonstrated improvements in gender equality can contribute
to economic growth, both in the short term through
improvements in economic participation, but also over the
medium term through investments in human capital. The report
starts by providing the assessment framework and context to
understand patterns of gender equality in Indonesia in
chapter one and chapter two. It then moves to a discussion
on women’s economic participation to elucidate the key
factors underlying these current trends in chapter three,
before moving to a discussion of the current areas Indonesia
will need to address to ensure the equivalent human capital
accumulation of women across the country in chapter four. It
then summarizes some of the early dual health and economic
impacts of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic in
chapter five, before providing a set of strategic priority
actions to advance the country’s growth and poverty
reduction objectives through investments in gender equality
in chapter six. |
