According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the Gender Inequality Index (GII) of West Java Province in 2024 was higher than the national average.

In that year, West Java's GII was 0.458 on a scale of 0-1 points, while Indonesia's GII was 0.421 points.

BPS explains that the higher the GII score, the greater the inequality between men and women. This means that the level of equality is lower.

Although West Java's GII is higher than the national score, there has been a downward trend over the past 6 years.

In 2018, the province's GII score was 0.508 points. In 2021, it decreased to 0.493 points and in 2024 it decreased again to 0.458 points.

BPS uses 3 dimensions in measuring GII. First, empowerment, consisting of the percentage of male and female legislative members and the percentage of male and female populations with a high school education or higher.

In 2024, the percentage of male legislative members in West Java was 77.31% and female 22.69%. Meanwhile, males with a high school education or higher were 42.04% and females 34.71%.

Second, the dimension of reproductive health, consisting of the proportion of women aged 15-49 years who, in the last 2 years, gave birth to their last live birth not in a health facility (MTF), and the proportion of women aged 15-49 years who were under 20 years old when giving birth to their first live birth (MHPK20).

According to BPS, West Java's MHPK20 score in 2024 was 0.281 points and MTF 0.121 points.

Third, the labor market dimension with the indicator of Male and Female Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR). In 2024, the male LFPR in West Java was 84.51% and female 50.59%.
