Abstract

This research aims to examine the impact of gender equality on regional development, represented by regional economic growth. The analysis applies econometric methods to panel data from 27 districts/cities in West Java Province for the 2018–2022 period, with the Common Effect Model (CEM) selected as the optimal regression model for this study. Gender equality is represented by indicators such as the ratio of female to male in per capita expenditure, mean years of schooling, life expectancy, and labor force participation rate. The findings reveal heterogeneous effects: gender equality in per capita expenditure, education, and health positively influences economic growth, with health, as measured by life expectancy, being the most significant factor. Conversely, the labor force participation rate exhibits a negative effect, indicating challenges in optimizing female's roles in the labor market. Overall, the study finds that gender equality development contributes 12.34% to West Java's economic growth. These findings highlight the need to provide equal opportunities for female by enhancing access to education, healthcare, and economic resources while addressing barriers in labor force participation to achieve inclusive and sustainable development.Keywords: Econometrics Analysis, Economic Growth, Gender Equality, Regional Development.

Abstract

All attempts have been taken by majority nations to reduce and invent the greenhouse gases (GHG) emission, but none of them provide any quantitative framework to assess ecosystem capacity for carrying carbon. To measure ecosystem boundaries to offset carbon and how far the emission has exceeded beyond them, this paper aims to calculate the carbon carrying capacity and evaluate its availability to sequester CO2 emission in a certain area. Considering forests, the major carbon reservoir to be the key ecosystem and taking West Sumatera Province in Indonesia as the case study, the Carbon Carrying Capacity (CCC) assessment is conducted with ecological footprint concept through carbon capacity surplus-deficit. The results show the forest CCC was fluctuated which were the highest 3.9 million ton in 2016 and the lowest 2.4 million ton in 2019, and primary mangrove land cover was the biggest carbon sequesters for 114 ton C/ha every year. The forest CCC was dominantly deficit which interpreted as limited and unavailable forest capacity to offset carbon emission. To improve forest CCC, forest area needs to be conserved, also develop low-carbon and green economic transformation to reduce GHG emission. The local society can take role to conserve the forest through customary laws application, then the government ought to plan spatial strategies through limiting land use for the primary forest and prohibiting mangrove and swamp forest conversion, also monitor, control and make legal approach to achieve national targets on reducing CO2 emission.
