According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS), the Gender Inequality Index (IKG) score in Central Java has shown an improving trend during the 2018-2024 period.

In 2018, Central Java's IKG score was 0.389 on a scale of 0-1 points. In interpreting the IKG, a lower score indicates a lower disparity between men and women, signifying an improvement in gender equality.

This downward trend continued until 2020, reaching 0.370. However, the IKG briefly increased in 2021 to 0.377 points.

The latest data from 2024 shows a decrease to 0.308 points, the lowest score during the 2018-2024 period. This score is also lower than the national average of 0.421 points.

As is known, the BPS uses three dimensions to measure the IKG score.

First, the empowerment dimension, with indicators including the percentage of male and female legislative members and the percentage of men and women with an education level of senior high school or higher.

In Central Java Province, in 2024, the percentage of male legislative members was 82.35% and female members was 17.65%. Meanwhile, 35.72% of men and 29.61% of women had completed senior high school or higher education.

Second, the reproductive health dimension, consisting of the proportion of women aged 15-49 who gave birth to their last live child in the past two years without utilizing health facilities (MTF), and the proportion of women aged 15-49 who were under 20 years old when they gave birth to their first live child (MHPK20).

According to BPS records, Central Java's MHPK20 score in 2024 was 0.249 points and MTF was 0.018 points.

Third, the labor market dimension, with the indicator of Male and Female Labor Force Participation Rate (TPAK). In Central Java in 2024, the male TPAK was 85.66% and the female TPAK was 61.82%.
