Abstract


The participation of women in the world of work does not only contribute to changing the mindset and economic order of a region, but has contributed greatly to the economic welfare of the family, especially in the economic field. Working women can increase family income and help improve the quality of life and family health. The purpose of this study was to determine the role of women's performance in improving the family economy of the Branta Pesisir Pamekasan Village. This research method uses descriptive qualitative analysis, data collection techniques using observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of this study found that the role of women's performance in the household economy is very important, this is evidenced by the amount of income generated by women not much different from the income generated by male workers in general. This is driven by the high enthusiasm of a housewife to help alleviate the burden on the husband in the household economy, also the opportunities in natural resources, as well as the ability of human resources (in this case women) to work.
