Abstract

Drawing our attention to the managerial and administrative elements of global health, Nuzulul Kusuma Putri describes how the “glass ceiling” operates in two provinces of the Indonesian health sector—one culturally matriarchal (West Sumatra) and the other patriarchal (East Java). Using position reviews, she analysed promotion processes within District Health Offices and in both provinces found a wide gap in promotion probability between male and female health officers which was not explained by lack of technical competence or merit on the part of women.
