Abstract

COVID-19 pandemic significantly affected female workers. Their rights that have been marginalized have been increasingly degraded during the implementation of social restrictions. It became a double impact, socially or economically, because female workers as a housewife were forced to bear the burden of their family, and at the same time they had to be a mother to teach their children because of the school-from-home programme. Some of them experienced a more severe impact than others because their husband lost his job so that the wife took over the burden of the whole family. However, these female workers had social capital that was able to help them economically and psychologically in continuing their activities during pandemic. Using qualitative method and social capital theory, we found that the existence of social gatherings can support their economy. Even simply doing sharing with their peers has a direct impact on these female workers’ mental health.
