Abstract

Drawing on the governmental policies, lack of health facilities and infrastructure, the threat of economic crisis, increasing poverty rate, high inflation, and several issues in Indonesia, we investigate the role of women-headed families during the pandemic of Covid-19. Since Covid-19 entered Indonesia in March 2020, the number of women-headed families has increased significantly. The pandemic certainly impacts the resilience of women-headed families, including in Dasan Agung Village, Sapalarang District, Mataram City, in West Nusa Tenggara. We are focusing on three main types of women-headed families: women who become widows because their husbands die; their husband lost their job due to the impact of the long pandemic; third, they become the women-headed family because their husbands are sick and cannot work. Based on this circumstance, we investigate how women-headed families’ resilience, both with intervention and without intervention. We use a qualitative descriptions approach with field research methods to understand how they could survive in the current situation, which forced social change worldwide, including in Indonesia.
