Test the Different Perceptions of Students towards Gender Equality Partnerships in a Different Decade (2012 and 2022)

Abstract

Gender discrimination in various aspects of social life results in different outcomes between men and women. Differences in treatment, norms, and views that are formed in society between men and women have an impact on various things in life. The younger generation has different desires and expectations from decade to decade because the development of society demands dynamic patterns of thinking and acting. As objects, they still need coaching and development toward growing potential and ability to an optimal level; they are not yet independent.

Operational Definition The variable used in this study is students' perceptions of male-female equal partnerships, which means that students' opinions about harmonious conditions between men and women are manifested through the pattern of attitudes and behavior between men and women who care, respect, value and help each other so that between men and women can work together as equal partners by using questionnaires in ordinal measurement data and a Likert scale. The indicators used are a gender analysis framework.

For women, there is no difference in perceptions of equal partnerships between 2012 and 2022, which means that women's perceptions are consistent about equal partnerships in terms of a gender analysis framework. Men and women have the same position, rights, obligations, and opportunities to play a role in all aspects of life. In men, there are differences in perceptions of equal partnerships between 2012 and 2022. It means that in terms of the gender analysis framework, men's perceptions of equal partnerships between 2012 and 2022 have experienced positive and significant changes.
