Abstract

Maternal status and autonomy play a crucial role in achieving gender equality, which in turn has the potential to decrease the incidence of stunting, a persisting challenge in Indonesia. This study explores the correlation between stunting and factors such as maternal status and autonomy at the provincial level across Indonesia. It employs methodologies like cross-tabulation and odds ratio, complemented by the Mantel-Haenszel test for analytical purposes. The research utilizes data from the 2017 Indonesia Demographic and Health Survey (IDHS), the Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) of 2022, and publications by the Central Statistics Agency from 2021 and 2022. Findings indicate a notable correlation between the prevalence of stunting and women’s participation in decision-making, particularly regarding physical mobility and the Net Enrollment Rate (NER) for junior high school females. To address this discovery, there is a pressing need for governmental and other relevant entities to focus on enhancing educational attainment and ensuring that all initiatives are grounded in principles of gender equality.

印度尼西亚母亲在家庭中的地位和自主权与儿童发育迟缓的关系

孕产妇地位和自主权在实现性别平等方面发挥着至关重要的作用，而性别平等反过来又有可能降低发育迟缓的发生率，这在印度尼西亚是一项长期存在的挑战。本研究探讨了印度尼西亚各省发育迟缓与孕产妇地位和自主权等因素之间的相关性。研究采用了交叉表法和几率比率等方法，并辅以曼特尔-海恩泽尔检验法进行分析。研究利用了 2017 年印尼人口与健康调查（IDHS）、2022 年印尼营养状况调查（SSGI）以及中央统计局 2021 年和 2022 年出版物中的数据。研究结果表明，发育迟缓的发生率与女性参与决策之间存在明显的相关性，尤其是在身体活动能力和初中女生净入学率（NER）方面。为了解决这一问题，政府和其他相关实体迫切需要将重点放在提高受教育程度上，并确保所有举措都以性别平等原则为基础。
