Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between tourism policy, gender, and purusa culture in the provision of local labor and female gender, review gender-based tourism policies, compare theories such as the rule of law, welfare state theory, human rights theory, democratic theory. economics, and tourism empowerment theory. Also adopted the Boley & McGehee Population Empowerment model through the Tourism Scale (RETS). The method used in this study is normative juridical research with a statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the systematic interpretive analysis show that the absorption of female labor is expressed as a product of structural and cultural forces, and domestic conditions around women's roles, therefore a combination of material and discursive analysis is needed to examine the socio-cultural relations of tourism policy production, the response to the absence of equality. gender in the middle of purusa culture. Workforce competency certificates that comply with the ACCSTP (ASEAN Common Competency Standards for Tourism Professionals) criteria are a preventive alternative for women to be able to target jobs in the public sector and the readiness of countries as ASEAN member countries.

Highlights

The development of tourism can have a positive impact on every country that makes the tourism industry a mainstays (Sedarmayanti, 2014)
Tourism policies that limit the local workforce, especially women, due to the influence of the purusa culture such as in Bali have an impact on the minimal participation of local female workers in the tourism sector
The results of this study are in line with the research of (Wirartha, 2000) who presented findings that female workers in the Gianyar Regency in the tourism sector experienced discrimination which was reflected in lower wages than male workers even though they had the same education and or the same occupational position. (Sutrisna, 2011) presented their findings on the limitation of women's activities in the public domain such as various forms of marginalization, discrimination, and subordination as reflected in wage or salary inequalities. (Sorinasih, 2019) shows the findings in the form of analysis of the percentage of absorption of local labor in the management of tourism business services is still relatively low because it only reaches the 30% range

Summary

Introduction

The development of tourism can have a positive impact on every country that makes the tourism industry a mainstays (Sedarmayanti, 2014). Restrictions on local female workers reflect gender discrimination so that labor absorption, competitiveness and labor productivity are low. This condition is contrary to the indicators of support (Indonesia, 2014) in creating jobs, reducing unemployment, reducing national poverty, and increasing the welfare of the community through the tourism sector. This phenomenon shows the obstruction of tourism development in creating jobs, where so far the tourism industry has been more dominant in using labor than machines
