Discussed By Prilly Latuconsina, This Is An Independent Women's Criteria

JAKARTA - Artist Prilly Latuconsina has recently been widely discussed after a video of herself being cut when discussing independent women went viral on social media. In the video, Prilly said the number of independent women was more than the established men in Indonesia.

"Because there are many independent girls, but a few established boys," Prilly Latuconsina said in the video uploaded to the X account @999o7i, reported Wednesday, December 4, 2024.

It should be noted that the phenomenon of many independent and established women in Indonesia, as Prilly said, is currently happening. Especially when it comes to reducing the number of marriages in Indonesia.

Based on data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the number of marriages in Indonesia has decreased by 128 thousand compared to 2022. Some areas that experienced a decrease in the number of marriages, such as Jakarta, decreased by 4 thousand, Central Java decreased by 21 thousand, East Java decreased by 13 thousand, and the highest in West Java was 29 thousand.

Not only that, but the data also shows that the number of women who have careers in Indonesia is currently increasing compared to the previous few years. The percentage of women who work as professionals every year also increases by 49.53 percent.

Meanwhile, a person's criteria can be said to be established are now a topic of conversation. In the Big Indonesian Dictionary (KBBI), self-established means stable or unsteady, but now it is often used to describe a person's financial condition.

Women who are established are also often referred to as independent women. Judging from the APA Dictionary of Psychology, independence is a freedom of influence or control from others. There are three aspects that make a person called independent.

Self relief is a responsibility for any consequences related to any action or behavior we do.

Resourceful is a proper awareness of the resources we have both competence, potential, and capacity of ourselves.

Coachable is the ability to accept input, rebuttal, and criticism from others. However, in the end the decision still comes from ourselves.
