Abstract

Gender-oriented development influences economic performance through human capital quality and resource allocation efficiency. This study examines the roles of female human development, gender equality, gender inequality, and female labor force participation in shaping economic growth in Central Kalimantan. The findings show that female human development significantly promotes growth, while gender inequality has a significant negative effect. In contrast, gender equality and female labor force participation are not significant, indicating that improvements in equality and participation have not translated into productive outcomes. These results highlight that enhancing women’s human capital and reducing inequality are more critical than expanding participation alone
