Abstract

This study explores the linkages between gender and rural transformation in Indonesia. Utilising time-series data from the National Labour Force Survey from 32 provinces in three different years (2010, 2015, and 2020), we analysed the linkages between rural transformation and gender-related variables such as womenʼs access to healthcare, education, and technology, gendered income gaps, and womenʼs engagement in agriculture. The results reveal that enhancing education and healthcare accessibility for women can significantly boost their earnings. Basic infrastructure, such as electricity and clean water, is also critical in driving non-agricultural GDP growth. The findings also show that involving women in rural non-farm labour is essential for rural transformation, suggesting that policies must focus on gender equality in education, healthcare, and infrastructure access to accelerate economic diversification. Further action is also needed to overcome ongoing gender disparities in womenʼs economic empowerment, such as the prevailing substantial gendered income gap between men and women in rural areas in Indonesia.

性别与印度尼西亚农村转型之间的联系

本研究探讨性别与印尼农村转型之间的联系。利用来自32个省份在三个不同年份（2010年、2015年和2020年）的全国劳动力调查的时间序列数据，我们分析了农村转型与性别相关变量（如妇女获得医疗保健、教育和技术的机会、性别收入差距和妇女参与农业）之间的联系。结果表明，提高妇女的教育和医疗服务可显著提高她们的收入。电力和清洁水等基础设施在推动非农业GDP增长方面也至关重要。研究结果还表明，让妇女参与农村非农业劳动对农村转型至关重要，这表明政策必须注重教育、医疗保健和基础设施准入方面的性别平等，以加速经济多样化。还需要采取进一步行动，克服在赋予妇女经济权力方面目前存在的性别差异，例如印度尼西亚农村地区男女之间普遍存在的巨大的性别收入差距。

It is a peer-reviewed journal that targets research in policy studies in Australia, Asia and the Pacific, across a discipline focus that includes economics, political science, governance, development and the environment. Specific themes of recent interest include health and education, aid, migration, inequality, poverty reduction, energy, climate and the environment, food policy, public administration, the role of the private sector in public policy, trade, foreign policy, natural resource management and development policy.
