Konstruksi Sosial Perempuan Menikah Tanpa Anak (Childfree)

Abstract

This research discusses about the social construction of married women who wish to not having children which was reviewed based on the responses of a discussion initially by Gita Savitri on her Social Media Instagram and gain much popularity since then. The purpose of this study is to find out the social construction of Childfree and the process in individuals who responded to the event. By using qualitative research methods with a phenomenological approach that is able to explain the phenomena, as well as helping writers to understand the point of view of the individual who responds, it can be known all the process and the background of the formation of social constructions to the phenomena discussed. This research was conducted on people who responded directly to Childfree that Gita Savitri made and pointed out on her social media. The data analysis technique used is interactive data analysis by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana which is carried out interactively and lasts continuously until it is complete. The social construction formed by Childfree is divided into two main ideas, namely the acceptance of Childfree as a choice based on women's right to choose, and Childfree rejection for any reason because it opposes the values believed in the majority of today's society as well as culture and religion. It can be concluded that in response to this phenomenon, society is divided into two groups that then lead them to different responses in response to Childfree.
