Women Working Hours as a Family Economic Stabilization (Study on Pepper Famers in Dellas Village, Air Gegas Sub Disrtric, South Bangka Regency)

The scope of the position of women in families and households and the wider community has a dual role, this means that a woman does not only play a role as a domestic workforce where her position gives support to other breadwinners to take advantage of existing employment opportunities but also women as workforce looking for a living that brings results directly. Women as laborers not only devote their time to taking care of the household but also to work. This study aims to analyze the outpouring of women's working hours as an economic stabilization effort for the family of Pepper Farmers in Delas Village, Air Gegas District, South Bangka Regency. It was observed that there was no influence on age, family income, and the number of family dependents on working hours and how they affected the family's economy. Data analysis methods used in this study are multiple linear regression models or OLS. In this study, the sample used was 60 female farmers. The sampling of farmers was carried out by simple random sampling (simple random sampling). The results of the data analysis showed that the variable unit (X1) had a positive and significant effect on the outpouring of women's work time while the Family Revenue (X2) and Dependent Amount (X3) variables had a positive but insignificant effect on the working hours of the rubber farmers in Dari Village. The results of this study also show that female pepper farmers have a small contribution to the family's economy because the nature of their work as a form of additional income is not for main income.
