Abstract

Indonesia is the largest country in ASEAN, with a population of 252 million, where the total labor force amounted to 120 million. The country also significantly contributed to the economic growth of ASEAN. However Indonesia has the lowest human development achievements in ASEAN. This study aims to determine the magnitude of the gender gap in human development achievement in Indonesia in the AEC. The study is conducted in Southeast Asia countries. The result of this research indicates that Gender Development Index and Gender Empowerment Measurement in Indonesia increased slowly since 2005 until 2013, but were always below the Human Development Index. Indonesia has largest gender inequality among the ASEAN-5. Various efforts have been made by the Indonesian government to increase gender equality such as increasing the education budget to 20% of the total state budget (Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Negara/ APBN), giving health and smart cards to the poor, and enactment of the Law No. 8 in year 2012 concerning the election of candidates that requires a minimum of 30% of those serving in parliament are women.
