Background
|
One
of the Sustainable Development Goals is sustainable development, and the
private sector has a critical role in this endeavour. Corporate sustainability – defined as ‘the
delivery of long-term value in economic, social and environmental terms’ – is
the most important contribution that business can provide to sustainable
development.
It is
widely accepted that women's empowerment yields strong economic returns and
may be the most critical enabler to achieving a wide range of sustainable
development and other objectives. Representing 49.5% of world population,
women represent untapped potential resources for accelerating the economic
growth. They are underrepresented in
many sectors, including in employment and business opportunities. It has been reported that the global
workforce participation rate of women still averages 50% of the population
and the trend is declining over the years for age 15 to 24 years, which is
likely linked to expanding educational opportunities at the secondary and
tertiary levels.
Business, along with other actors, has a key
role to play in advancing gender equality across the workplace, marketplace
and community.

Why Indonesia?
|
Indonesia
is a member of the G-20 major economies and its economy is the largest in
Southeast Asia. Approximately 52% of the population lives in rural
areas. Although challenges remain in
terms of efficiency and outreach, over the years, Indonesia has improved some
key areas related to gender inequality, such as health and education,
opportunities, voice and agency, and stipulating the necessary legislation
for gender mainstreaming.
According to World Bank’ data, female labour
force participation in the formal market was 49% in 2015, while male
participation reached 83%. Although
Indonesia has achieved good economic growth (averaged 5.35% from 2000 until
2016), to maintain this growth and take more of its people out of poverty,
Indonesia must increase workforce participation.
