Factors affecting household income in the post-empowerment of small-scale fishermen wives

Abstract

Post-empowerment, the wife of small-scale fishermen, can affect changes in household economic incomes. This study aims to assess the factors that affect household income after the empowerment of fisherwomen. Furthermore, a multiple linear regression estimation model was used in this study. The results showed that fishermen's wife's household income after empowerment is influenced by wife's age, education, and the number of active family members. On the other hand, the number of dependent household members and regional differences had no significant influence. In addition, improving the household economics of fishermen can be further enhanced through the skills needed to process processed fish by providing market intelligence for the sustainability of their business.
