<![CDATA[The gender gap in Indonesia remains a significant issue even though various policies have been implemented to reduce it. This article analyzes the inequality between men and women in the social, economic, educational, and political fields, and explores relevant social theories, such as Structural Functionalism, Feminism, and Institutional Economics.
