Abstract

The problem of poverty is still identical in the community environment which is partly a livelihood as a fisherman, until now it is still a classic coastal phenomenon. Where women fishermen have the potential as a driving force for the empowerment of coastal communities. In this case, they have the potential to help increase family income. In this study researchers chose to use a qualitative approach. Data collection method uses in-depth interview techniques, observation, and documentation studies. The results show that women in coastal areas have a very large contribution or role in increasing family income. Wife's income contribution can be seen from the fulfillment of the needs of primary, secondary, and even tertiary families. The relationship between husband and wife can meet family needs by working together to improve the welfare of their families. The increasing role and duties of the wife as a breadwinner leads to an agreement between husband and wife to share duties.
