Abstract
In Indonesia, gender disparity is one problem that occurs in many areas. Although, government has big concern in emancipation and has enough effort to reduce this problem, gender disparity still occurs, no exception in higher education. In this research, we analyze the woman participation in public universities in Indonesia by using statistical computational method. k-means method has been used to clustering the gender based statistical data in public universities in Indonesia. The level of program that is clustered includes: diploma, bachelor, master, doctoral, profession and specialist. In this research, we show that there is negative correlation between progam level and woman participation. Woman participation goes lower when the program level goes higher. Woman participation is high in education/teaching, healthcare and social science program. Meanwhile, woman participation is low in engineering, farming and fishery program.
