Abstract
This paper aims to explore what types of work are usually done by Bajo women, and how they manage household finances in order to survive and become a prosperous family. The research method used is a qualitative method with a case study approach [14]. The focus of the study is the Bajo women who work as fishermen. The results of the study show that: First, the fighting spirit and work ethic of Bajo women are very high on working. The type of work they do is very much, for example selling, making sarao hats, helping to install bait to catch suji crabs, fishing, catching octopus, looking for shellfish, gama, lola, to look for rocks to sell. Second, the management of the financial management of Bajo women's households is still very low, as a result they are still often entangled in debt. Therefore, the provision of knowledge related to household financial management is very necessary, not only to guarantee economic sustainability and their survival in the future, but also to free Bajo women in debt bondage
