Time allocation housework and childcare average on a fishermans wife is 5.5 hours (in the range of 16 hours per day), while the fisherman husband was no time available to it. The results of the qualitative analysis of gender relation show that the fishermen's wife had an egalitarian relationship, meaning the wife and husband has a role equal and balanced that allows them respect each other and work together. The wife was also found to have the flexibility in managing their shared money, which is from husband's income as a fisherman and the wife's income from the shop, maids or clothes washer.
