Abstract

This research aims to decompose the employment participation rate to explain gender gap in DKI Jakarta Province in three periods (1995, 2005, and 2015). Determinant of employment participation rate of men and women was estimated by probit regression model and marginal effect. Non-linear decomposition technique used to analyze the source of gender gap. The results show that the main cause of gender gap comes from structural factors in the labor market (discrimination). The value of the gender gap in 20 years has decreased, in 1995, 2005, and 2015 it was 40,82%; 39,17%; and 29,34% respectively. It shows that the discrimnination rate in Jakarta has decreased.

Bahasa Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan dekomposisi pada tingkat partisipasi kerja untuk menjelaskan gender gap di Provinsi DKI Jakarta pada tiga periode, yaitu 1995, 2005, dan 2015. Determinan tingkat partisipasi kerja laki-laki dan perempuan diestimasi menggunakan model regresi probit dan efek marginal, sedangkan untuk menganalisis sumber gender gap digunakan teknik dekomposisi nonlinear. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan penyebab utama gender gap tingkat partisipasi kerja berasal dari faktor-faktor struktural di pasar tenaga kerja (diskriminasi). Nilai gender gap dalam 20 tahun makin mengecil, pada tahun 1995, 2005, dan 2015 nilainya sebesar 40,82%; 39,17%; dan 29,34%. Hal ini menunjukkan tingkat diskriminasi di Jakarta makin berkurang.
