Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe the analysis of the meter & horn model. In implementing policies on conditions that occur in gender equality in employment opportunities in the Lagoi tourist area of Bintan, Indonesia. The research method used is descriptive qualitative and analyzed in-depth using triangulation techniques. The results show that communication carried out by stakeholders of gender equality policies has not been maximally implemented, especially by the government to entrepreneurs, being one of the factors that gender equality policies in the Lagoi tourist area have not been achieved. Size and Objectives The policy implementation of the gender equality policy is carried out unilaterally according to the company's only benefit, namely the gain by not paying attention to the objectives of the policy itself, that the gender equality policy aims to build working relations for all parties, including increasing employment and job opportunities for women. Then the attitude of the implementers in the way of thinking about the benefits and support for policy implementation, namely the government with the presence of women workers assesses that they have met the criteria for the gender basis. Likewise, employers consider that gender equality is not the most important thing because for the company it is the achievement of company profits, so the strong attitude to influence from trade unions, NGOs, community leaders does not have a strong influence on the achievement of gender policies. The characteristic of implementing agencies in supporting the implementation of equality policies shows that the attitude of gender policies in the Lagoi area of the government is more passive.
