ANALYSIS OF WORKING TIME OF WOMEN TEA HARVESTERS AT SMM Co

Abstract

Sarana Mandiri Mukti Corporation’s tea harvesting mothers are
driven by the family's economic situation. Women tea harvesters
(domestic work) support their families financially in addition to being
housewives. Tea plucking housewives come from diverse locations
near the tea estates. Harvesters' daily activities fall into four
categories: productive, home, social, and rest. The purpose of this
study is to assess the working hours of female tea harvesters and the
factors that impact them. The descriptive technique was the primary
methodology employed in this study. Multiple Linear Regression is a
technique for data analysis. According to research data, tea harvesters
often labor nine hours every day. Women who harvest tea can spend
nine hours per day (37.5%) on productive activities, three hours on
homework (12.5%), four hours on social events (16.67%), and eight
hours resting (33.33%). Tea Picker Revenue (X1TPR), Number of
Family Dependents (X3NFD), Age (X4AGE), Education Level
(X5EDL), and employment Experience (X6EXP) all impact the
length of employment of female tea harvesters. Partially Tea Picker
Revenue (X1TPR), Total Family Revenue (X2TFR), Number of
Family Dependents (X3NFD), Age (X4AGE), and Education Level
(X5EDL), but Total Family Income (X2TFR) and Work Experience
(X6EXP) have no effect on the work of female tea harvesters.
