THE WORK TIME ALLOCATION OF LONGLINE FISHERMEN WIVES AND PRODUCTIVE CONTRIBUTION OF FISHERIES SECTOR TO HOUSEHOLD INCOME IN KARANGGANDU VILLAGE, TRENGGALEK

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the productive working hours and income contribution of fishermen's wives to the household income of longline fishermen in Karanggandu Village, Trenggalek. The sample was determined using purposive sampling of 24 longline fishermen's wives who work productively in the fisheries sector. The results show that the types of productive work performed by fishermen's wives in the fisheries sector are fish selling, reyeng making, and smoked fish production. The amount of time spent working is 90 HOK/year for fish sellers, 123 HOK/year for reyeng makers, and the most time is spent on smoked fish production, which is 135 HOK/year. The average household income of longline fishermen is Rp. 121.224.410/year. The contribution of income from fishermen's wives who work as fish sellers is 55% (11 people), fish paste makers 5% (10 people), and smoked fish businesses 63% (3 people). The contribution of fishermen's wives' income is relatively high, especially in the smoked fish business, but only 3 people are engaged in this business due to limited capital and labor. The greater the ability to utilize production factors, particularly skills, capital, and simple technology, the greater the added value created and the contribution to the economic welfare of fishing families.
