Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of patriarchal traditions, education levels, and family environments on feminist poverty in Batak society. Strong patriarchal culture places women in a subordinate position, limiting their rights in decision-making, education, and economic access. The results show that Batak women face cultural challenges that reinforce economic dependence on men, limited inheritance rights, and low priority of education for women. In addition, the family environment plays a significant role, both as a reinforcement of poverty through oppressive norms, and as a supporter when providing access to education and economic freedom. Feminist poverty in Batak society is not only in the form of low income, but also includes limited access to resources, health, and education, as well as social stigma that worsens the situation of women. This study emphasizes the importance of customary reform, increasing public awareness of gender equality, and inclusive education and economic policies as an effort to break the cycle of feminist poverty. These results are in line with Connell's patriarchal theory and Sen's views on the role of education in women's empowerment, and show the relevance of Bourdieu's social capital in shaping women's economic opportunities

Abstract

Gender inequality remains a structural problem in local economic development that directly contributes to the persistence of women’s poverty, particularly within societies characterized by patriarchal socio-cultural systems. This study aims to analyze the impact of gender inequality on women’s poverty among the Batak Angkola community in Padangsidimpuan City. The research employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected through a survey of working-age women from low-income households, selected using purposive sampling. Gender inequality is measured through indicators of educational attainment, women’s economic participation, access to economic resources, and patriarchal social norms, while women’s poverty is assessed based on income levels and household economic vulnerability. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to examine the relationships among variables. The findings indicate that women’s educational attainment and economic participation have a significant effect in reducing women’s poverty, whereas patriarchal norms exert a negative influence by increasing women’s economic vulnerability. These results underscore the critical role of gender inequality in shaping inclusive local economic development outcomes. This study recommends the formulation of gender-responsive local economic development policies through improved access to education, women’s economic empowerment, and the transformation of social norms as sustainable strategies for reducing women’s poverty.
