Abstract

This research was carried out to obtain scientific evidence showing the development of female human resources in the context of education and also the world of work. Today, gender balance is still an issue that gets the parties' attention. We have obtained data from several journals and books published between 2010 and 2022, which we obtained electronically by searching for us to review in establishing findings as answers to studies and hypotheses. We carry out the research process under a phenomenological approach, namely a method for getting answers from several existing data to obtain phenomenal findings in a study context. The review involves, among other things, the data coding system, the interpretation of the data, and the conclusion drawn on the principles of high validity and reliability. After discussing the results, we understand that the goals and functions of developing female human resources at the higher education level are mandated by the constitution of the republic of Indonesia following the declaration of world nations where the study of gender equity is ongoing. Hopefully, these findings will benefit efforts to develop studies on gender equality in education and will help develop similar studies in the future.
