Abstract

Gender empowerment is one of the components of gender development achievement measures that is an important agenda at the global level in realizing the Sustainable Development Goals. The Gender Empowerment Index (GEI) of Indonesia has been continuously improving since 2010, indicating an increasing involvement of women in various areas of life. However, behind this upward trend in GEI, there is still inequality at the provincial level. Therefore, there is a need to formulate development strategies, one of which is gender-based. One possible step is to categorize regions in Indonesia based on their gender empowerment characteristics so that government interventions can be targeted effectively. This research utilizes two clustering approaches, namely Hierarchical Methods and Partitioning Methods, with data consisting of three variables representing the components of GEI for 34 provinces in Indonesia in 2022. The selection of the best method and number of clusters is based on internal and stability validity, followed by the determination of the smallest within and between standard deviation ratios. From the cluster analysis results, the best method is found to be K-means with a total of 5 clusters.
