摘要：This research aims to analyze the factors that influence the decision of women of eligible couple to enter the labor market. The research method used is quantitative methods using statistical analysis techniques Binary Logistic Regression. The research data used is primary data with cross section data type. The number of respondents in this study was 1200 observations determined by the multistage random sampling method. Sampling was carried out in stages from the scope of Central Java Province, one district/city per residency was selected. The results of the study stated that the variables of education level and family planning participation did not significantly influence the decision of women of eligible couple to enter the labor market. Meanwhile, the family welfare variable was influential but not significant with a statistical Z value of 1.62 but still smaller than the Z table value of 1.645. Then the variables of age, number of children and understanding of gender have a significant effect on the decision of women of eligible couple to enter the labor market. Based on the results of the probability estimation, it is stated that the increasing age of an eligible couple woman, the higher the probability of an eligible couple woman entering the labor market, the more children an eligible couple woman has, the lower the probability of an eligible couple woman entering the labor market. The probability of an woman of eligible couple who has one child to enter the labor market is 43.68%, while the probability of having 5 children or more is only 21.93%. And the higher the value of understanding about the gender of women of eligible couple, the higher the chances of entering the labor market. Women of eligible couple with an average gender score of 1, have a probability of entering the labor market of 0.5 or 50%. Meanwhile, women of eligible couple with an average gender score of 5 have a probability of entering the labor market of 0.5915 or 59,15%.
