The Indonesian Creative Technology and Information and Communication Industry Association (MIKTI), in collaboration with Bekraf, produced a report titled ‘Mapping and Database of Indonesian Startups 2018’. Based on data from this report, it is evident that the majority of Indonesian startups were founded by men (91.18%), while women only account for 8.82% of the total founders recorded.
One of the causes of this disparity is the stereotype that leads to low female participation in science and technology.
Therefore, in line with the objectives of this mapping, one of which is to determine policies for startups, the involvement of all parties is needed to eliminate this stereotype so that future policies are more gender-sensitive. This will lead to an increase in the number of female startup founders over time.
