Abstract

The Asean economic community requires high economic competition among ASEAN countries. Indonesia is one of the ASEAN Countries which is assumed to have a low capacity to win the competition. Hence, Indonesian workers are sued to have a better skill level heading the tight competition. Thus, workers with better skills are needed to strengthen the comptetition. Both practition and scholars believe that the issues of gender are currently attractive for the manpower market. Accordingly, this study is aimed to explore the effects of gender on the influence of skill on the readiness of Indonesia worker toward business competition in the Asean Economic Community (AEC). This study employs 352 workers from various Industries. Multiple regressions are used to analyze the data. The result shows that the skill of male workers has stronger effect on their readiness toward AEC competition rather than their counterparts. Implication and future research are discussed.
