Redefining Strategy of Nuclear Empowerment in Indonesia's Nuclear Industry: A Deep Dive into the Diving Gender Equality, Inclusivity, and Leadership Through A Case Study of International Nuclear Empowerment

There is still a large gap between the careers of men and women in the public and private sectors, especially in Indonesia’s nuclear industry. The gender gap has many effects on women's lives including career development.  At the national level, Indonesian women's engagement in the formal labor force is consistently lower than that of men. According to the 2020 (Central Statistical Agency) BPS statistics, just 34.65% of women are employed, compared to 49.50 percent of all females in the country based on population survey data. Therefore, gender equality and women’s empowerment are essential parts of achieving human development. Indonesia has a similar background to other countries in how was difficult for women to gain the position in nuclear jobs. A common fallacy we can discover is an implicit bias in society. Numerous nuclear-focused organizations and non-profit entities have proffered a plethora of strategies to augment female engagement within the nuclear sphere, encompassing fellowships and organizational endeavors such as the Black Sea Women in Nuclear Network, WiN Global's Women in Nuclear Southeast Asia subgroup, and the Maria Sklodowska-Curie Fellowship Program. Nevertheless, a multitude of initiative programs and solutions aimed at amplifying female participation in the nuclear domain persistently confront impediments, notably among Indonesians. In this research endeavor, the aim is to furnish recommendations to various organizations and the Indonesian government concerning nuclear development and women's involvement in the nuclear industry. These recommendations draw upon a range of nuclear development initiatives gleaned from several case studies in countries such as India, the United States, Africa, and others, as well as solutions to enhance female participation from these nations, utilizing the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) framework. Those correlations will be decided by multiple parameters such as environment, technical, and society with Indonesia's situation. This paper analyzes about international movement to increase gender equity in the nuclear industry and describes how a country’s nuclear power plant can integrate gender equity measures. Furthermore, a recommendation is to increase gender equity, inclusivity, and leadership in the nuclear industry, especially for the developing country, Indonesia. Not only that, an initiative program based on case studies from another country could help Indonesia bring Nuclear Women Empowerment to every woman in Indonesia's nuclear industry.
