Abstract

. The role of women in various aspects of life not only demands equal rights between women and men, but also states that their function has meaning in community development. The economic condition of the family is the main reason for women to work. Family income that does not increase causes women who were originally in the domestic sector to participate in the public sector to help the family economy. The purpose of this study is to describe how the dual role of women and the impact of the dual role of women working in the warehouse in improving the family economy. This study uses a qualitative method with a descriptive analysis approach. The data sources used were primary data and secondary data. Data collection techniques were carried out by observation, interviews and documentation. data analysis techniques through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions in research. The results of the study state that women's dual roles include traditional roles and transitional roles, when carrying out their public roles women must divide their time in carrying out both roles. women who are married and work are the demands of the family's economic needs. Because most of their husbands only work in the private sector, the amount of income is not sufficient to meet the needs of family life. The positive impact is that it can increase family income, build a sense of mutual understanding between family members, and increase family status. While the negative impact is felt by children, attention and affection are reduced, and attention in terms of education is also reduced because both father and mother work outside the home. They delegate childcare to other family members.
