Abstract

Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui etos kerja wanita pengrajin Batik Tulis di Kampung Batik Laweyan Surakarta. Angkatan kerja di Indonesia pada umumnya masih berpenghasilan rendah dan sebagian besar berada di tingkat kesejahteraan masyarakat pedesaan. Sebagian besar dari angkatan kerja bekerja di sektor pertanian, sedangkan menyempitnya lahan pertanian menuntut mereka pindah ke kota. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa banyak perempuan pekerja memberikan kontribusi terhadap ekonomi rumah tangga. Namun, tidak banyak  yang melihat etika pekerjaannya pada kesejahteraan keluarganya. Jam kerja pada perempuan yang lebih tua mendapat beban berat. Mereka tidak hanya melakukan pekerjaan dasar rumah tangga tetapi mereka juga bekerja mencari nafkah untuk kesejahteraan keluarganya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa wanita umumnya bekerja lebih lama, tetapi tidak ada perbedaan signifikan bahwa wanita lebih baik daripada laki-laki, karena pengelolaan pendapatan rumah tangga umumnya menjadi satu. Ukuran istri sejahtera muncul saat suami mereka mampu memenuhi rumahtangganya, ini yang nantinya akan berdampak pada turunnya etos kerja wanita dalam sebuah rumah tangga.
