- Abstract
Women, like men, are also in charge in family economics. This study aimed at understanding the meaning of economic activity in the family economics from Balinese women’s perspective. The approach of this study was transcendental phenomenology by discovering the meaning and reality of informants about their life experiences. The results of the study revealed that the meaning of economic activity in the family economy from the perspective of Balinese women is a high commitment to the family as it alleviates the burden of the head of household on household expenses, school costs, health costs, and social activities. The religious activity of making banten (a sacrifice) for the piodalan day (Hindu holyday) is also practiced by every Balinese woman as a form of yadnya (sincere sacrifice). Balinese women are self-reliant in the economy through their income which makes them selective in their consumption.
