Exploring Dual Role Conflict and Gender Equality for Working Women

Abstract

Women have long been viewed as passive agents of development, leading to an underestimation of their individual and collective abilities. Various studies show that women have limitations in capacity building, so that their enthusiasm for the family economy and national economic development is forced to decline, and they face social gender attitudes. The purpose of this study is to provide a new picture of the socio-economic aspects of women's empowerment and gender equality in support of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 5) and to find out whether female workers experience multiple role conflicts and support for gender equality from their partners. This type of research is descriptive with a phenomenological approach by observing phenomena that occur in the field. Data collection techniques through document research by analyzing the information collected in text, notes, documents or results from previous research. The results show that women's empowerment is a tool for measuring sustainable development (SDG) based on the concept of gender and development which expects the development of all individuals regardless of gender. Women's empowerment can also be achieved through the concept that women must be allowed to be themselves, wherever they are, without being separated in the public or domestic space. They can play various roles as long as they are committed to truth and justice with the support of their partners. Ending all forms of threats to women is not only a human right, but critical to accelerating sustainable development and helping to drive overall economic growth and development, in line with the announced 2030 global roadmap and Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) 5.
