Abstract

Female headed households are faced with various challenges and obstacles during their
lives including multiple roles, discrimination, and economic difficulties which require
them to develop strategies to survive. This study aims to describe the survival strategies
of female headed households using library research methods. The survival strategy is
examined through three aspects, namely the active strategy carried out by maximizing
existing potential such as prioritizing energy, skills, talents and knowledge to meet family
needs. Then, the passive strategy is to reduce the cost of living for the family by helping
each other, in debt, and being creative. Furthermore, the network strategy carried out by
women heads of households is to utilize networks between individuals, kinship,
communities, groups, government and even outsiders who have concern for the welfare
of female headed households. Thus, this study seeks to identify various survival strategies
adopted by female headed households with their underlying dynamics. The network
strategy is seen as being able to support female headed households to develop their active
and passive strategies
