Abstract

The Gender Development Index (GDI) is a measure of human development based on the dimension of health, knowledge, and economic in a region by considering equality between women and men. West Java Province had the lowest women’s GDI in Java Island in 2017-2019. Those condition shows that there is still a gap in human development based on gender in West Java Province. The study intends to identify the factors affecting women’s GDI in West Java from 2017 to 2019 by applying a regression analysis method of panel data involve 27 regions in West Java Province and determining the best model. Regression analysis of panel data is an alternative method to estimate parameter which is a combination of time series and cross section data. The method used were data exploration, regression analysis of panel data, and classical assumption tests. The results showed that there was an individual effect on the model. The best model was a fixed effect model with individual effects. This model produces a coefficient of determination wih an R2 value of 77,75%. This suggest that the model is good enough to illustrate that 22,25% of the varience of women’s GDI at the region level in West Java can not be explained by the model. Variable that have impact to women’s GDI are the percentage of the population who experience health complaints, the percentage of population who have health insurance for hospitalization, women's income contributions, and school participation rates at the Junior High School or the same level.
