Abstract

This study aimed at at analyzing social and economic argumentation related to labor force participation of married women in public sector in the province of West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. The study was a descriptive qualitative study employing an ethnomethodology method. Primary data were collected from key informants including working married women, family members, and other informants that were considered having the information needed. The involvement of other informants, in addition to the key informants, aimed at validating the findings. The study confirmed the following findings. (1) The main reason for married women to work was the economy of the family—the family income was under the subsistence level. (2) For families whose incomes were above the subsistence level, the reason for women to work was the social factor. (3) Two major categories were found related to the reason for married women in West Nusa Tenggara to work: need and want; this means, some women worked because they had to, while some others worked because they wanted to. (4) Married women performed double roles. (5) It was a family decision, not a personal one, for married women to work in both the extended family and the nucleus family form.
