Women’s distribution across agricultural and non-agricultural employment reflects differences in human capital, household conditions, and access to productive resources. This study analyzes the individual and household factors associated with women’s employment sectors in Aceh Province, Indonesia. The analysis uses cross-sectional data from the March 2024 National Socio-Economic Survey (Susenas), covering 8,025 employed women aged 15 years and above. Binary logistic regression is used to estimate the likelihood of women being employed in the non-agricultural sector rather than agriculture. The results show that junior secondary, senior secondary, and tertiary education, never-married and divorced status, larger household size, and access to credit are positively associated with non-agricultural employment. In contrast, age and the number of children under five are negatively associated with employment outside agriculture. Primary education and widowed status are not statistically significant. Overall, women’s sectoral employment in Aceh is associated with a combination of human capital, demographic characteristics, household circumstances, and access to financial resources. The findings emphasize the importance of women’s education, skills development, and financial access in supporting broader participation in non-agricultural employment.
