This study analyzes the determinants of female and male labor force participation (LFP) rates in Indonesia during the period of economic liberalization and rapid growth (1986-1997). First, the study estimates the determinants of female and male labor force participation by using the Probit model. Using a gender-based decomposition analysis, the study attempts to explain whether the female-male LFP gap is due to lower productivity-related endowments of female labor or the existence of structural barriers -including possible discrimination- for women to enter the labor market. The findings suggest that due to the lower structural barriers, the female-male LFP gap in the urban areas has been narrowing slightly during 1986-1997. Yet, the difference in endowments of female and male labor becomes even larger. However, the rural LFP gap is widening, as the difference in endowments increases.
