Abstract
The informal sector is always identified with the use of cheap labor. Especially labor-intensive industries, the use of cheap labor is also used as a strategy to reduce production costs. Homework with the putting-out scheme is one of them. Women homeworkers must work without a work agreement, clear working hours and very little wages. The existence of a wage gap between intermediaries and homeworkers is a problem that is quite complicated to resolve. Women homeworkers play a dual role in their families. In addition to having to do domestic work, women homeworkers also have to do productive work to get additional income for their domestic life.
