Narasumber
neutral - Jamshed Kazi (UN Women Indonesia representative and liaison to ASEAN) Unless we
address the systemic inequalities that put women in low paid, undervalued work and inflex-ible
working conditions that limit their opportunities, we will not be able to close the gender pay gap

neutral - Diahhadi Setyonaluri (an economist at the Demographic Institute at the University of
Indonesia) Imagine if there was zero gender wage gap, there would be ad-ditional income

neutral - Diahhadi Setyonaluri (an economist at the Demographic Institute at the University of
Indonesia) The easiest way to see it is to consider its impact on the national income or economic
growth. With no wage inequality, our economic growth may increase by several percentage
points.

neutral - Ida Fauziyah (Manpower Minister) Given the gender gap in our labor market today, my
ministry, to-gether with all of our social partners and international organizations, continues to
reinforce our joint actions against gender-based dis-crimination at work. It is time for women
and men to be equally ap-preciated by their talents, work re-sults and competence, not by their
gender
