Tuesday, September 7 2021. Resource person for the 2019 - 2023 East Kalimantan RPJMD in supporting efforts to increase economic empowerment.
Head of Bappeda East Kalimantan Province Prof. DR, Ir. H. M. Aswin, MM attended the Resource Capacity Building activity for institutions providing women's empowerment services under provincial authority as a resource person.
He delivered a presentation with the theme "2019-2021 East Kalimantan RPJMD in an effort to support women economic actors"
Regarding the fifth vision of sovereign East Kalimantan, namely that East Kalimantan is able to produce quality and competitive human resources, Aswin said that to achieve this the role of women is very important.
The East Kalimantan Human Development Index has been good, recorded over the last 5 years and has continued to increase from 74.17 in 2015 to 76.61 in 2019 with an average HDI growth of 0.8% per year.
The indicator to be achieved is the Gender Development Index (IPG). That is, it measures achievement on the same dimensions and variables as HDI but reveals inequality in achievement between men and women. The greater the gender difference in human development, the lower the IPG compared to the HDI value.
Meanwhile, the Gender Empowerment Index (IDG) focuses on participation, by measuring gender inequality in the economic sector, political participation and decision making. With indicators of the proportion of representatives in parliament of men and women; proportion of managers, administrative staff, professional workers and technicians; and wages of non-agricultural workers.
In the East Kalimantan RPJMD, the East Kalimantan IPG in the 2016-2019 period continued to increase with an achievement of 85.60 to 85.98. In the IPG formulation, the formulation uses HDI components separated according to gender, so that the decline in HDI due to the impact of Covid-19 will have an effect on the decline in IPG.
