Standard Project Report 2016
Progress in human development has been slower than economic development. Indonesia ranked 110th of 188
countries in the 2015 Human Development Index. Although Indonesia is approaching its target of 100 percent
enrolment in primary education, with 92 percent of boys and 93 percent of girls enrolled in 2012, girls have
significantly higher drop-out rates than boys, especially at the secondary level. Reasons for this include early
marriage, and financial and cultural constraints.
Indonesia ranks 110th of 155 countries on the gender inequality index. Despite economic growth there are
significant gaps with respect to gender equality in the areas of health, education, employment, and involvement in
decision-making processes, with women in rural regions suffering greater disparity than women in urban areas.
