Indonesia’s sustained economic growth over the past decades has reshaped its social, economic, and cultural landscape, with rising living standards, expanding education, a growing middle class, and urbanization. This panel examines the gendered implications of these developments, focusing on how they influence education, labour market participation, marriage, fertility, and social mobility. The first paper explores the relationship between the rise of the middle class and educational and labour outcomes. The second paper investigates urban sprawl in Greater Jakarta, analysing gendered dynamics in commuting and labour market participation. The third paper highlights the role of babysitters in the care economy, addressing gender, class, and rural-urban disparities. The panel concludes with a comparative analysis of the legislative processes behind two gender-related bills in Indonesia: the anti-sexual violence bill and the domestic worker protection bill. This panel offers insights into the cultural, social, and legal transformations shaping contemporary Indonesia from a gender-inclusive perspective.
