Abstract

Based on the 5th Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), gender equality is an important instrument that supports national development. In Indonesia, women are still experiencing gender gaps or inequalities in the form of violence, double burdens, and subordination. In this case, it is hoped to identify the factors causing gender inequality and its consequences, especially for women, in realizing economic development in Indonesia. This study uses a literature analysis approach by dissecting the factors causing women in Indonesia to face gender inequality in carrying out domestic and public roles in the social environment. In the literature analysis, it can be seen at a macro level, that indicators from the United Development Programme (UNDP) such as the Gender Empowerment Index and the Gender Development Index. Judging from the results of the analysis based on related indicators, from the regencies in Central Java, there are still Gender Development Index and Gender Empowerment Index values ​​that are not optimal in their implementation. Therefore, there is a need to increase gender equality for women to encourage economic development in Indonesia in order to achieve sustainable development and foster an adaptive attitude towards the social environment.
