Pendidikan dan Partisipasi Angkatan Kerja Perempuan di Indonesia: Analisis Data Sakernas 2019

Abstract

The level of female labor force participation (LFP) in Indonesia based on the results of the National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas) shows a stagnant value, and even tends to decline since 2000 until now. Although the TPAK of women in the world has also experienced a decline, but with the increase in gender equality in Indonesia, especially in the field of education it seems that it is not accompanied by an increase in women's work participation itself. Using Sakernas results in 2019 from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), a modeling of women's work participation using the probit model was conducted. Based on the established model, it was found that the increase in work participation of women in Indonesia was higher in those with higher levels of education and those who were heads of households. This is indicated by the marginal effect value of the probit model which is positive. While factors that tend to reduce women's work participation in Indonesia include women with marital status, having a toddler, and living in urban areas.
