Abstract: Abstract The Gender Development Index (GDI) of Bangka Belitung women is still in the low category compared to men. In contrast, the economic condition of Bangka Belitung Province generally decreased in 2017–2020 due to Covid-19 Pandemic and changes in government regulations related to tin exports. Numerous studies have found a link between gender equality and economic growth. As a result, this research aims to investigate gender equality through health, education, and economic indicators on Bangka Belitung’s economic growth for the 2017–2021 period. Furthermore, as the analytical method approaches, panel data analysis of variance with Pooled Least Square (PLS), Fixed Effect Model (FEM), and Random Effect Model (REM) are used. The result shows that gender equality in education, represented by The Female Expected length of School, and in the economic sector, represented by Female Per capita Expenditure, has a positive and significant influence in increasing the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) in Bangka Belitung Province. Policy implications showed that the Regional Government of Bangka Belitung Province and women’s organizations should be more proactive in promoting gender equality. Equal rights for men and women in areas such as health, education, and the economy will improve the quality of human resources, which will affect economic growth. Furthermore, several SDGs can achieve maximally if gender equality is implemented.
