This study investigates the relationship between educational attainment, gender, and income in Indonesiausing individual-level data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS4). Applying an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS)regression model with log-transformed income as the dependent variable, the analysis explores whether years ofschooling and gender significantly affect earnings. The findings indicate that while education has a positive associationwith income, the effect is statistically insignificant. Similarly, no meaningful income gap was observed between maleand female respondents after controlling for education. These results suggest that the economic returns to education inIndonesia may be limited by structural labor market conditions, particularly the dominance of informal employment andmismatches between education and job requirements. Although gender did not emerge as a significant predictor in thissample, broader national data continue to show disparities, pointing to the need for cautious interpretation. The studyhighlights the importance of aligning educational systems with labor market demands and addressing systemic barriersto wage equity.
