Utilizing the case of factory- and home-based women workers in an enclave-shaped area within Pringapus, a suburb of the Semarang Metropolitan Region in Indonesia, this study endeavors to empirically investigate the intricate connections between the evolution of garment industries, urbanization, and the roles of women workers within households. Employing descriptive statistics, data from 200 respondents who participated in a questionnaire survey were analyzed. The findings suggest that beyond contributing to urban sprawl, large garment factories serve as magnets for rural migrant women and catalyze the growth of ancillary businesses and services. This includes the establishment of home-based garment industries, which offer additional employment opportunities for local married women. Both factory-based and home-based women workers expressed satisfaction with their current employment, reflecting an alignment between their workplace and individual characteristics. Moreover, both groups exhibited a positive level of bargaining power within their households, encountering minimal resistance from family or community members. This is particularly noteworthy given the prevailing patriarchal norms prevalent within Java Island. This study raises awareness about the need for pro-women policies in industries like the garment sector, where women make up the majority of the workforce. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
