Abstract


The Industrial Revolution 4.0 has brought many exponential changes in many fields, including the employment sector. However, the reports from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection, and the World Economic Forum simultaneously show that there is a trend of stagnation in labor force participation rates based on gender in several countries, including Indonesia. This study discusses the social construction of gender on labor force participation through a comparison of the independence of urban and rural families. The research was carried out through desk research on document reports of the Central Bureau of Statistics, namely the Gender Inequality Index, three study reports from the Ministry of Women's Empowerment and Child Protection namely Portraits of Gender Inequality in the Economy, Gender-Based Human Development, and Profiles of Indonesian Women, and the World Economic report, namely the Global Gender Gap Report. The findings of this study show that the inappropriate gender social construction that is still inherent in today's modern life forms the disparity in male and female labor force participation rates in Indonesia.
