Abstract

Gender parity, one key component to determine equal opportunities for accessing higher education, has become a topical issue yet still remain under-researched, mainly in the Indonesia Higher Education Institutions (HEIs). Publications regarding the issue of gender equity and equality in HEIs participation in the Indonesian context have been just flourishing relatively recently. Therefore, the present study aims at investigating published articles in some reputable journals, both national and international. This literature study aims at finding out the general overview of HEIs in Indonesia in practicing gender equity and equality as well as revealing the indication of gender parity in the Indonesia HEIs. The findings informed three primary topics that appeared in the articles, namely an endeavor to gender equity, strive for gender equality and an indication of gender parity. All of the three issues correlate one another, sometimes used interchangeably. However, those terms are completing each other as a cycle in the society development, especially in gendered participations. In conclusion, the existing of gender parity in Indonesia has actually been practicing in HEI, however, little documentation were reported in the published articles. Implications and further recommendation are presented.
