This study aims to analyze the influence of women’s involvement in parliament and women’s professional careers on economic growth, as well as the mediating role of women’s income contribution in Aceh Province. The study employed panel data from 23 regencies/cities during the 2018–2024 period. The analysis method used panel data regression with the Common Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and Random Effect Model approaches, which were selected through the Chow Test, Hausman Test, and Lagrange Multiplier Test. The Sobel Test was applied to examine indirect effects as part of the mediation analysis. The findings indicate that, In Model 1, women’s involvement in politics does not have a significant effect on economic growth. In contrast, women’s professional careers have a positive and significant effect on economic growth. In Model 2, women’s political involvement also has no significant effect on women’s income contribution, while women’s professional careers have a positive and significant effect on women’s income contribution. In Model 3, women’s income contribution has a positive and significant effect on economic growth. Furthermore, the mediation analysis in Model 4 reveals that women’s income contribution is unable to mediate the effect of women politicians’ involvement in parliament on economic growth; however, it significantly mediates the effect of women’s professional careers on economic growth.The policy implications of this study emphasize the importance of expanding women’s access to professional employment, improving the quality of women’s human resources, and strengthening women’s economic empowerment policies in order to support inclusive and sustainable regional economic growth.
