Abstract

This paper examined indicators of women's gender development in three dimensions in Java: healthy life, knowledge, and standard of living. The analysis method used panel data to determine which factors need to be improved to increase GDI and K-Mean clustering to minimize variation among cluster data and maximizes variation with data from other clusters. The study’s objective focused on the island of Java based on district-level data, using BPS Sakernas Data from 2010 to 2020. The main results showed that the GDI of East Java and West Java provinces is below the national average. Although West Java has a low GDI, it has a moderately rapid GDI growth. East Java province has slow growth and should be a priority in gender development. An increase of 1% in women's revenue will increase GDI by 0.09%, and a 1% increase in women's education will increase GDI by 0.14%. The implication of this research to obtain policy recommendations includes improving women's education and healthcare facilities and providing exceptional training for women to enhance their skills.
