Indonesia's Gender Inequality Index (GII) has steadily improved from 2015 to 2019. In 2015, it stood at 0.466. Four years later, the score improved to 0.421.

This improvement in Indonesia's GII was driven by improvements in five indicators. First, a reduction in the proportion of births not attended by skilled health personnel, from 22.4% in 2015 to 14.1% in 2019. Second, an increase in female representation in parliament from 17.3% in 2015 to 20.5% in 2019.

Third, the female labor force participation rate increased from 48.9% in 2015 to 51.9% in 2019. The next indicator showed a slight increase: the proportion of the population aged 25 and over with at least a high school education reached 31.9% in 2019, up 0.2% from 31.7% in 2015.

Finally, the proportion of women under 20 years old at the time of their first childbirth showed fluctuating trends. Compared to 2015, it increased slightly from 27% to 27.1% in 2019.
