President Joko Widodo (Jokowi) has announced the names of the ministers in the "Indonesia Maju" Cabinet who will assist him during the 2019-2024 period. Five women hold ministerial positions in this cabinet.
They are Retno Marsudi (Minister of Foreign Affairs), Sri Mulyani (Minister of Finance), Ida Fauziah (Minister of Manpower), Siti Nurbaya (Minister of Environment and Forestry), and I Gusti Ayu Bintang Darmawati (Minister of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection).
The number of female ministers in the "Indonesia Maju" Cabinet is fewer than in Jokowi's previous cabinet, which had eight. The "Kabinet Kerja" (Working Cabinet) had the highest number of female representatives since the Reformasi era.
During the presidencies of BJ Habibie (1998-1999), there were only two female ministers; Abdurrahman Wahid also had two (1999-2001); Megawati Soekarnoputri had two (2001-2004); Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono had four (2004-2009) and five (2009-2014).
