According to the dominant types of livelihoods that are highly affected by climatic conditions; the residents of Panjang Selatan, Kota Karang, Kangkung and Batu Putu
Villages may be more prone to climate related disasters. As state previously, however residents in these villages do not depend on one sector only. Their
alternative jobs would increase their resilience during adverse climateweather conditions.
B. Family member Participation In Looking For Family Income
In general, head of the family is obliged to find income for his family. In order to improve family welfare, however, each family member will try to look for additional
income. There are 13 models to describe persons that contribute to generating income Table 2.13; these are: 1. husbands alone; 2. husbands and wives; 3.
husbands and sons; 4. husbands, sons, and daughters; 5 husbands, wives, and sons; 6. husbands, wives, sons, and daughters; 7. wives alone; 8. wives and sons;
9. sons alone; 10. husbands and daughters; 11 husbands, wives, and daughters; 12. sons and daughters; and 13. daughters alone.
The family that rely on husbands as sole breadwinners is only about 46.56. There are 31.58 of the residents’ families where the husbands and wives work together to
support their families. In a situation when husbands can no longer work, the family would rely on wives’ support. There are 2.02 of the residents’ families that rely on
wives income. The largest percentage of families relying on wives’ income is in Kota Karang Village. The data also shows that there are residents’ families whose family
members contribute income to support their family. In this group, adult family members, husbands, wives, sons, and daughters, all have jobs and all of their income
is for supporting their family. Therefore, in general, the role of wives women in supporting their family life is relatively high. The role of women in family economy
is also shown in FGD activities in observed villages. Residents admit that the role of wives in helping their husbands has existed since long time ago.
28 In many cases of working women, the wives’ job is related to the husbands’ job. For
example in Panjang Selatan and Kota Karang Villages where most of the male residents work in fisheries; many of the working women in these two villages work
as fish sellers, either in markets or from door to door. Usually the wives sell their husband’s catch, but if the catch is low they sell their neighbours’ catch or they buy
fish in markets. Besides having permanent jobs, women also have seasonal jobs. According to Mr. Aan, the head of RT 14 Kota Karang Villages,
“...usually women are needed during fish harvesting season. At that time there will be many fish with various kinds and sizes. Before the fish is sold to fish auction or
market, the fish must be sorted. Usually the wives will help the husbands sort the fish”.
The activity involves not only the wives but also other family members. Similar condition happens to the residents whose main job is in agriculture, where the wives’
job is related to the husbands’, for example, wives is helping husbands in plantations or fields.
