Gender equality in Indonesia is about where you’d expect given the country’s level of development. Indonesia has more gender inequality than some neighbouring countries and less than others; and less than in the vast majority of Muslim-majority nations worldwide, regardless of level of income. Women’s economic participation is however low relative to Indonesia’s level of development. Female labour force participation is low as many women leave the work force when they get married and have children, particularly in the formal sector as formal sector employers do not generally offer flexible workplace conditions that would increase their ability to retain female employees. Social norms that position mothers as the main caregiver play an additional important role in women’s low economic participation. Public information campaigns that challenge people’s perceptions of gender norms are likely to be an important component of efforts to increase women’s economic participation. Greater female economic participation has pay-offs in terms of increased national economic growth. By contributing to household income and reducing economic stress within the household, greater female labour force participation is also likely to reduce family violence and so lead to happier home and family lives. A focus on increasing women’s economic empowerment would be far-sighted as the country looks to recover from the pandemic and lay the groundwork for a dynamic future.Program09:00 – 09:30 Registration 09:30 Opening09:35 Welcoming remarks by Dr Teguh Dartanto (Dean, FEB UI)09:45 Keynote remarks by Professor (Emeritus) Mayling Oey-Gardiner (FEB UI)10:00 Lecture: Gender equality and development: Indonesia in a global context by Professor Lisa Cameron (The University of Melbourne)10:40 Discussion by Dr Putu Geniki Lavinia Natih (FEB UI) and Dr Asep Suryahadi (The SMERU Research Institute)11:00 Question &amp; answer session11:55 Closing remarks by Dr Firman Witoelar (ANU Indonesia Project)The event will be held in English.
