Abstract

The increasing dual role of women, in which housewives not only perform domestic work but also engage
in economic activities to help increase family income. The objective of this study is to ascertain the amount of time
allocated by housewives who work as fish sellers in Lapulu Village, Abeli District, Kendari City. The study
population consists of housewives in Lapulu Village who are involved in or work as fish sellers at Lapulu Market,
totaling 20 individuals. The research sample was determined using the census method. The data were collected
through the documentation method and interviews with a guided interview. The research variable was the time
allocation of housewives who are fish sellers. The collected data were then subjected to a descriptive quantitative
analysis. The results of the study indicate that the time allocation of housewives who are fish sellers in Lapulu
Village, Abeli District, Kendari City, involves dual roles as household managers and business operators. The
allocation of time among housewives who engage in fish selling activities reveals their dual role as both household
managers and business operators. This finding suggests that the majority of their time is allocated to domestic
tasks rather than to activities related to the sale of fish.
