Abstract
The gender equality index has been an assessment of the gap between female and male, but the role of female in economic growth is considered not yet optimal. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of gender equality and female labor force participation rate (FLF) on economic growth in Indonesia, using panel data from 34 provinces between 2019 and 2023. The results of this study show that gender development and empowerment index (GDI and GEI) have a significant and positive effect on Indonesia’s GDP, while the FLF variable has positive but not significant effect on Indonesia’s GDP. The government can implement regulations related to women's education through scholarships for women and establish regulations for companies regarding equal pay and promotions for women, to ensure they are equally represented in leadership positions.
