SEBAB PENURUNAN RANKING MALAYSIA

1) Pencapaian Pendidikan

Kadar Enrolmen

Sub-indeks pencapaian pendidikan menurun pada tahun 2019 denga skor MGGI 1.053. Kadar enrolmen wanita dalam peringkat menengah dan tertiari adalah lebih tinggi kerana wanita mempunyai keupayaan dalam pembelajaran lebih tinggi. Wanita juga cepat menguasai dan mampu membuat pecutan dalam proses pembelajaran. Pakar Psikologi Kaunseling, Universiti Pertahanan Nasional Malaysia, Prof Datuk Dr Mohamed berkata bahawa dari aspek psikologi, wanita mempunyai kebolehan mencanai dan menggunakan otak dua hala, iaitu otak kiri dan kanan untuk memproses maklumat lebih banyak dan membuat pertimbangan. Katanya, wanita lebih fokus kerana otak dapat menguasai dengan adanya kematangan dan boleh mendengar dalam waktu yang lama jika dibandingkan dengan lelaki kerana lelaki kurang fokus dan lebih suka akan aktiviti yang banyak bergerak. Walaupun wanita berpendidikan tinggi, tanggapan masyarakat terhadap wanita ialahtanggungjawab mereka hanyalah untuk berkahwain dan duduk di rumah.

1) Pencapaian Pendidikan

Skor MGGI sub-indeks penguasaan politik meningkat dari skor 0.106 (2018) kepada 0.108 (2019). Penguasaan wanita dalam bidang politik adalah lebih rendah kerana kemampuan wanita jauh lebih rendah daripada lelaki dari segi kekuatan fizikal, mental, intelektual dan dakwaan seperti wanita lemah dan sangat beremosi. Nik Safiah (2015) mengatakan, masyarakat memandang pemimpin wanita tidak matang, cepat membuat kesilapan dan tidak mempunyai ciri kepemimpinan. Contohnya, Dato Wan Azizah sanggup melepaskan jawatannya sebagai ahli parlimen dan menyerahkan kepada suaminya Dato Anwar, kerana beranggapan beliau lebih layak memegang jawatan itu berdasarkan pengalaman dalam urusan pentadbiran dan merupakan Mantan Perdana Menteri suatu masa dahulu.

2) Penguasaan Politik

3) Peluang dan Penyertaan Ekonomi

Skor MGGI untuk sub-indeks peluang dan penyertaan ekonomi menurun daripada 0.727 pada tahun 2018 ke 0.717 pada tahun 2019. Ini bemaksud bilangan wanita yang bekerja lebih rendah berbanding dengan lelaki. Selain itu, terdapat 23.3% wanita memegang jawatan penggubal undang-undang dan pengurus. Mengapakah golongan wanita kurang peluang pekerjaan walaupun tahap pendidikan mereka tinggi? Hal ini disebabkan oleh persepsi bahawa wanita adalah lebih bertanggungjawab terhadap rumah tangga dan penjagaan keluarga. Seterusnya, berkemungkinan bidang yang diceburi tidak memenuhi pasaran atau pasaran sangat rigid terhadap pekerja wanita. Majikan juga tidak mempercayakan kemampuan wanita dalam menggalas tanggungjawab di rumah dan tempat kerja. Tambahan pula, kebanyakan wanita melaporkan bahawa keluarga tidak membenarkan mereka untuk berkerja.

perbezaan kadar wanita dalam pencapaian pendidikan dan penyertaan tenaga buruh

apaKAH itu pencapaian pendidikan?

Pencapaian pendidikan merujuk kepada tahap pendidikan tertinggi yang telah berjaya diselesaikan oleh seorang individu.

PENGLIBATAN WANITA DALAMPENDIDIKAN TINGGI

Pernyataan Dr Wan Azizah pada laman sesawang malaysiadateline.com menunjukkan penglibatan wanita dalam pendidikan pada peringkat tinggi adalah sebanyak 48% manakala kumpulan lelaki adalah 38% Penglibatan wanita dalam sub-indeks pendidikan telah mengatasi lelaki dengan skor 1.053.

Secara am, penyelidik wanita di dunia tidak terlalu ramai. Namun jika dilihat daripada data Malaysia, wanita telah mendominasi bidang penyelidikan. Dr Wan Azizah turut menyatakan bahawa tenaga kerja wanita di Malaysia telah dicatatkan pada peratusan55.2%. Ini telah membuktikan bahawa tenaga kerja wanita agak kurang digunakan di negara kita

Had pencapaian wanita dalam bidang pendidikan adalah lebih tinggi daripada lelaki dengan skor 1.059. Ini telah dibincangkan oleh penerbitan statistik permerkasaan wanita dalam domain terpilih Malaysia pada tahun 2021.

PENYERTAAN WANITA DALAM TENAGA BURUH

Ketua Perangkawan, Datuk Seri Mohd Uzir Mahidin, menyatakan bahawa kadar penyertaan tenaga buruh (KPTB) wanita Malaysia masih rendah jika dibandingkan dengan negara Asia Tenggara yang lain, iaitu 55.3% pada tahun 2020. Keseluruhannya, KPTB wanita bagi negara membangun melebihi 60% pada tahun 2021 berbanding dengan tahun 2018 iaitu 55.2%

Link

Pada tahun 2019, kadar penyertaan tenaga buruh (KPTB) wanita lebih rendah,iaitu sebanyak 55.6%. Selain itu, anggaran pendapatan yang diperoleh oleh wanita adalah lebih rendah, iaitu sebanyak RM37,296 berbanding dengan lelaki yang memperoleh RM39,648. Ini bermaksud daripada RM100 yang diterima oleh lelaki, wanita hanya menerima RM94.07.Ini menunjukkan tidak ada kesamarataan antara wanita dan lelaki dari segi pendapatan mungkin menjadi punca kekurangan penglibatan wanita dalam bidang professional dan teknikal (44.4%) walaupun kadar enrolmen dalam pendidikan menengah dan tertiari bagi wanita adalah lebih tinggi.

PUNCA PENYERTAAN WANITA DALAM TENAGA BURUH RENDAH

Berdasarkan laporan daripada The World Bank (2019) antara kekangan utama wanita tidak bekerja adalah:

KEKURANGAN PERKHIDMATAN

Kekurangan pusat penjagaan kanak-kanak dan warga emas yang senang diakses dan mempunyai harga yang berpatutan untuk wanita yang bekerja

Akta sedia ada tidak melindungi wanita daripada dipecat atas kehamilan dan peruntukan tidak diberikan kepada wanita yang memerlukan 14 minggu cuti bersalin bergaji.

Purata pendapatan wanita adalah jauh lebih rendah daripada lelaki untuk hampir semua kumpulan pekerjaan

undang-undang

PENDAPATAN YANG RENDAH

apaKAH Luar tenaga buruh?

Luar tenaga buruh

Menurut Portal Rasmi Perangkaan Malaysia, bilangan luar tenaga buruh meningkat sebanyak 0.1 peratus (+5.19 ribu orang) pada suku tahun ketiga 2021 berbanding dengan suku tahun ketiga 2019. Lebih daripada separuh bilangan luar tenaga buruh adalah wanita yang merangkumi 68.9 peratus atau bersamaan dengan 5.12 juta orang. Manakala, lelaki pula merangkumi 31.1 peratus (2.31 juta orang).

Penduduk yang tidak dikelaskan sebagai bekerja atau menganggur, dikategorikan sebagai luar tenaga buruh. Misalnya, suri rumah, pelajar (termasuk mereka yang akan melanjutkan pelajaran), mereka yang telah bersara atau tidak berkeupayaan dan mereka yang tidak berminat untuk mencari pekerjaan.

FAKTOR PENYUMBANG MGGI TINGGI DI KUALA LUMPUR, KELANTAN DAN PERLIS

MALAYSIAN GENDER GAP INDEX IN 2019

Tiga negeri yang mencatat MGGI tertinggi pada tahun 2019 ialah W.P Kuala Lumpur, Kelantan dan Perlis. W.P. Kuala Lumpur mencatat markah tertinggi pada 2019 iaitu 0.846, diikuti Kelantan dengan 0.795 dan Perlis mencatatkan di tempat ketiga tertinggi dengan 0.769.

0.846

Faktor-faktor penyumbang MGGI

W.P. Kuala Lumpur mencatatkan pendapatan penengah tertinggi iaitu RM10,549. Hal ini kerana W. P. Kuala Lumpur merupakanibu kota yang menyediakanpelbagai peluang pekerjaan kepada penduduk dan banyak aktivitiekonomi berpusatdi sini.

PENDAPATAN ISI RUMAH

KUOTA PEKERJAAN

Peluang pekerjaan lebih tertumpu kepada lelaki. Nisbah yang digunakan bagi peluang pekerjaan lazimnya 3:1 lelaki:wanita. Hal sebegini menyebabkan golongan wanita sukar untuk mendapatkan peluang pekerjaan sama rata seperti lelaki. Kepercayaaan majikan lebih berbelah bagi kepada lelaki. Tamsilnya, kebanyakkan lelaki dipilih sebagai ketua di tempat kerja kerana dianggap lebih berlayak.

Pengguna internet meningkat daripada 84.2% kepada 89.6% pada tahun 2020 dalam kalangan rakyat Malaysia. Hal ini membantu peningkatan kemahiran penggunaan IT serta MGGI bagi ketiga-tiga negeri tersebut.

BAGAIMANAKAH MALAYSIA SECARA KESELURUHANNYA DAPAT MEMPERBAIKI MGGI SECARA KESELURUHANNYA DALAM MASA TERDEKAT?

Ulasan

Data laporan menunjukkan MGGI 2020. Enrolmen murid perempuan ke sekolah rendah mencapai 99.8%. Enrolmen pelajar perempuan ke sekolah menengah pula mencapai 75.4%, manakala pelajar lelaki hanya mencapai 69.2%. Enrolmen pelajar wanita ke pendidikan tertiari pula mencapai 49.9 peratus, meninggalkan pelajar lelaki yang hanya mencapai 40.7%. Dalam bidang kesihatan, jangka hayat wanita adalah 68.1 tahun, manakala jangka hayat lelaki adalah 65.3 tahun. Perkara ini mungkin berkaitan dengan kejayaan perkhidmatan kesihatan ibu dan kanak-kanak di seluruh negara. Namun, dalam penglibatan dan peluang ekonomi, hanya 55% wanita dewasa (berusia antara 15-64 tahun) yang terlibat berbanding 80.8% lelaki dewasa. Jadi, walaupun lebih ramai wanita mendapat pendidikan di sekolah menengah dan peringkat tertiari, namun bilangan wanita dewasa yang bekerja jauh lebih rendah daripada lelaki. Seterusnya, didapati bahawa hanya 20.4% wanita yang memegang jawatan-jawatan pembuat undang-undang, pegawai kanan dan pengurus berbanding dengan 79.6% lelaki. Dalampemerkasaan politik pula, hanya terdapat 14.4% wakil rakyat wanita berbanding 85.6% wakil rakyat lelaki. Selain itu, hanya terdapat 18.5% menteri wanita, berbanding dengan 81.5% lelaki. Maka, tidak hairanlah skor pemerkasaan politik untuk Malaysia adalah 0.108 dan berada di kedudukan 117 dari 153 negara.

Usaha mencapai kesaksamaan gender dalam urusan kehidupan seharian bukan hanya terletak kepada wanita. Ianya adalah tanggungjawab semua pihak, bermula daripada keluarga sehingga pentadbiran kerajaan. Usaha tersebut mampu dicapai melalui pemahaman atau kesedaran terhadap gender dan perspektif gender oleh pelbagai lapisan masyarakat. Menteri Pembangunan Masyarakat dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna Sabah, Datuk Hajah Jainab Datuk Seri Panglima Haji Ahmad Ayid, menegaskan kepentingan pemahaman terhadap perkara itu, terutamanya dalam membuat keputusan atau melaksanakan dasar-dasar tertentu dengan mengambil kira penilaian terhadap perspektif gender. Masyarakat awam, lelaki dan wanita, kanak-kanak mahupun orang dewasa perlu memahami bahawa lelaki dan wanita mempunyai keperluan dan kehendak yang berbeza. Hanya dengan menjadikan isu gender sebagai pusat rujukan dalam penggubalan dasar awam, barulah kita mampu melangkah maju dalam isu kesaksamaan gender. Beliau menambah, kesaksamaan gender perlu diamalkan dalam norma kehidupan seharian, seperti memberikan peluang atau kebebasan sama rata kepada kanak-kanak lelaki dan perempuan untuk memilih minat dan menyuarakan pendapat mereka. Mereka harus dididik untuk saling menghormati sejak kecil supaya mereka akan membesar dengan amalan sebegitu dan lebih sensitif terhadap isu gender.

LANGKAH-LANGKAH MEMPERBAIKI MGGI

Dasar Mesra keluarga

01

02

Penyediaan Tempat Penjagaan Kanak-kanak Di Tempat Kerja

Cuti Materniti

memudahkan penjagaan anak supaya ibu dapat berfokus dalam kerjamengurangkan kerisauan dan mengelakkan daripada isu penderaan anak

mempercepat penyembuhan tubuh badan ibu selepas bersalinmemberikan masa berehat kepada ibu sebelum balik ke kehidupan biasa

memperkasakan dasar 30 peratus wanita pembuat dasar

Meningkatkan kemahiran golongan wanita terhadap kepimpinan- meningkatkan keyakinan orang ramai terhadap pemimpin wanita

Mengalu-alukan lebih ramai wanita untuk menjadi calon pilihanraya- meningkatkan peluang golongan wanita menjadi pembuat dasar

MENETAPKAN KUOTA WANITA DALAM BIDANG POLITIK

Dapat menetapkan bilangan wanita yang akan menceburi bidang politik- Misalnya, sekurang-kurangnya 30 peratus daripada ahli parlimen mestilah merupakan wanita

MENAWARKAN LEBIH BANYAK PELUANG PEKERJAAN YANG MEMERLUKAN TENAGA KERJA WANITA

Pihak kerajaan mahupun bukan kerajaan perlulah membuka lebih banyak peluang pekerjaan kepada para wanita, terutamanya dalam bidang profesional. Menurut Pensyarah Kanan Institut Teknologi Antarabangsa Malaysia-Jepun (MJIIT), Dr Ts Rozzeta Dollah, sebanyak 59 peratus wanita Malaysia terlibat dalam sektor Sains, Teknologi, Kejuruteraan dan Matematik (STEM) sekaligus menunjukkan negara mempunyai himpunan bakat yang ramaidalam kalangan kaum hawa dan tidak ada sebab kaum wanita boleh diketengahkan. Dengan itu, Malaysian Gender Gap Index (MGGI) dapat diatasi di negara kita.

MEMPERKASAKAN PELAN TINDAKAN PEMBANGUNAN WANITA

Ini bagi memperincikan tindakan yang perlu diambil oleh agansi kerajaan, badan NGO, sektor swasta dan masyarakat demi mencapai objektif dan matlamat Dasar Wanita Negara.Mengandungi strategi meliputi 13 sektorIni seiring dengan matlamat Dasar Wanita Negara yang berhasrat menjamin pembangunan wanita dengan mengarusperdanakan kepentingan wanita untuk mencapai potensi sepenuhnya dalam perancangan dan pembangunan wanita untuk mencapai kesetaraan gender di Malaysia.

In the lead up to Father's Day, we'd like to revisit a Man Repeller piece about dads and the many different roles they can play. This story was originally published in 2019.
According to Pew Research, the number of stay-at-home dads in America is on the rise: 7% of American fathers choose to stay at home, which accounts for 17% of all stay-at-home parents (up from 10% in 1989). Depending on your view, those numbers will either be heartening (more dads subverting gender norms and choosing to place their partners' careers ahead of their own!), heartbreaking (fewer than one in four primary caregivers are men!), or just plain befuddling (why do we even track these things/why do we still adhere to outdated notions of gender roles/why is childcare in America so expensive/wait, there are MEN who stay at home with their children?).

I talked to three stay-at-home dads about their decision to stay home, and how they have reconfigured their understanding of success to do it. Below are their stories.

Conor, 34

As with many serious things in life, I laid the groundwork for being a stay-at-home dad by joking about it. But after my daughter was born, it became very important to me to be with her. My wife and I talked about our general desire to have a parent be her primary caregiver, but it was always with the understanding that it was my preference to fulfill that role, and not my wife's.

In the lead-up to the decision, we were in a good position to keep both our jobs. My wife had a great job that she loved and I worked at a fun fabrication firm. We had childcare miraculously lined up through sheer determination and some luck. But as much as I trusted the folks we found, the added stress and expense of managing logistics in a day largely spent without her didn't seem worth it. Fortunately for us, it turned out it was actually more feasible from a financial perspective for me to leave the workforce. This was a narrower view than we might have taken considering some of the potholes we've experience since we made this decision (like balancing home responsibilities, post-work free time, etc). I don't think we would have made a different decision, but we might have talked more about what it would mean for one of us to not be "working."

Early on, the biggest challenge was simply getting her to drink from a bottle. I have vivid memories of both of us crying in an armchair until one of us fell asleep on a throw pillow. But in the long run, trying to grow my limited pool of patience and actually learning more about the healthy management of my emotions has been hard. My kid is my mirror, especially as she has learned to speak and express herself more clearly. When I'm a bonehead or my voice is harsh, it is instantly apparent. And now she'll even say things like, "Dad, it's aaaalright. Cool your jets," when I sound annoyed (she's three-and-a-half). So I have serious motivation to learn to regulate and try to be a better example for her.

On a day-to-day level, just moving through the day with a fun and exploratory sense of adventure and everyone falling asleep peacefully and well-fed is a success.

I've always struggled with the idea of what it means for me to be successful. For me, this conjures up a sense of professional accomplishment, recognition, culminating in copious remuneration, so I can travel and be super classy. I have repeatedly made decisions that have moved me away from those things. So there is a tension between what I've grown accustomed to believing success to be and what I derive a sense of meaning from. It was my priority to be present as a parent versus being employed. So for me, I feel like I've been more of a "success" as a parent than if I had simply gone to work at a job to continue to earn money.

On a day-to-day level, just moving through the day with a fun and exploratory sense of adventure and everyone falling asleep peacefully and well-fed is a success. If I manage to clear some brush or work on a house project, then it's a real win. When my "working" life gave me a good feeling, it would happen at the end of a long project, or maybe when I was putting the finish on a beautiful table top. But as nice as those things felt, it's not like I would take my phone out later to look at pictures of these projects or table tops to cheer myself up.

I think I'm working more towards a sense of satisfaction than success. I'm grateful to be able to be with my daughter as she grows. But this is my choice for me and our family, you know? Lots of people raise other human beings in all kinds of ways, I'm doing it this way. And we'll see how it turns out.

There is one moment I remember really starkly, when another stay-at-home dad and I were strolling with our kiddos, when we were stopped by an older lady. She cooed at the kids and then looked up and asked if we were married. We both explained that our wives were out working and that we were the caretakers for these small humans. She looked at us and said, "That's great, just great. My husband - he wouldn't pick up a toothpick if it fell on the floor, the sonofabitch. But he's dead now. It's OK. God bless."

Otis, 55

The decision for me to stay at home was based on the best opportunity for our family. After having our son Oscar, my wife had gone back to producing TV while I continued to run my own sports memorabilia business. Oscar was always in our care as we arranged our work schedules to accommodate this.

When Oscar was still young, however, my wife got an offer to produce a show in Indianapolis. For the next three months she lived in a hotel room while I cared for our son and ran my business. We ended up having to get a part-time sitter, since I was still trying to work. But soon after, the network asked her to do a show in Vegas. Her career was picking up steam rapidly and we wanted to be together all the time, so the decision was pretty simple. I sold my business, we put our house on Airbnb, packed our stuff, and haven't looked back.

I never really understood it when people would ask me about "success." I never bothered with thinking about it and would fight it each time I heard it, which was too often.

The biggest challenge for me in this role is trying to stay busy and try new things. It's very easy to park a child in front of a TV and read your phone. Fortunately for us, as we moved from city to city we had nothing but new opportunities at each new stop. That has kept things fresh. The biggest joy is the ability to be with my son. He's seven now, and primarily homeschooled - he has probably spent more time with me than I spent with my either of parents. Obviously it can get a little testy at times, but it's worth every bit of that to be able to watch him grow daily right before my eyes.

As far as success goes, I am not a traditional capitalist. My capital was me initially and now it's my family. I never really understood it when people would ask me about "success." I never bothered with thinking about it and would fight it each time I heard it, which was too often. I simply did things, took each day at time and did my best not to force anything. This line of thinking was not popular with my parents. I am a huge fan of the late Colonel Bruce Hampton, whose mantra was to "collapse into yourself." When I heard this it was the first time I could articulate how I wanted to live. It's about not trying so hard or, really, not trying at all. It's based on letting things just happen. It's not pre-producing a movie of your life in your head.

That line of thinking comes with a guarantee of failure. Unfortunately we've been wired to fear failure, when in essence, it's one of the best opportunities to learn about yourself. This is not easy to do, but the less you care about others' ambitions for you, I think the opportunities can be endless. That philosophy has helped me move through five different careers, become a dad at 48, and who knows what else?

But yeah, I've had to defend my choice to stay at home! It certainly raises eyebrows and causes heads to shake. Being a stay-at-home dad requires being a team player, ignoring sexist stereotypes, putting most of your ego, some hobbies and interests aside for a bit, and seeing the big picture. I'm cool with being "Oscar's Dad."

Andy, 32

I've been a stay-at-home dad for just over a year, taking care of my 15-month-old daughter. My wife has been on a solid career track since before we met. I'm a visual artist and have had random, mostly administrative day jobs, but in the last few years have been able to supplement my income doing freelance work related to my visual art practice. It seemed like a no-brainer for me to be home with our daughter and for my wife to continue her path in her career - it made more sense financially for me to take on full-time childcare rather than pay someone else to do it.

A big challenge is dealing with other people's expectations of what a stay-at-home parent should be. I'm lucky to live in a community with a lot of parent/child meetups during the work week. Some mothers treat me like a novelty, tell me it's "so great" that I get to be home with my daughter, things I don't know if they would say to another mother. My first mom friend who asked me for parenting advice almost made me cry, feeling validation in my abilities as a parent from a social perspective. I also get a lot of doors held for me, pats on the back, compliments about being a good dad, giving mom the day off, etc. My wife doesn't enjoy this treatment from strangers when she's out alone with our daughter.

A lot of people, before the baby was born, asked me if I was sure I wanted to do this. My mother would ask me if I was sure I wanted to do this, if I realized what I was getting myself into.

In terms of success from a parenting perspective, it's just, like, taking care of my daughter all day and going to bed feeling like I did okay, like she had a good day and ate all her food and took a good nap. From a personal or creative perspective, it's taking advantage of the mental freedom to continue to grow my creative practice as an artist, and using my limited free time productively. I've had some small successes in my art practice in the last year that have felt very special. To have that as an outlet and to be able to actually get things accomplished always feels like a meaningful victory.

A lot of people, before the baby was born, asked me if I was sure I wanted to do this. My mother would ask me if I was sure I wanted to do this, if I realized what I was getting myself into. Now, people ask me how it really is being a stay-at-home parent, and I tell them that it can be hard and definitely tiring and frustrating, but it's never stressful. I feel lucky to be in this situation. My wife's job stresses her out, and she's going to leave it one day, while I get to raise our child to be a (hopefully) good person.

I have a very "normal" relationship with my own dad. He worked, isn't super emotionally giving, but certainly not a bad parent. To know that my daughter is going to be so much closer to me than I am with my own dad makes me really happy. People always say they want to learn from their parents "mistakes" in raising them, and I feel like so far I'm doing that. That feels really cool.
