Abstract

The Purpose of this study is to examine how the division of labor by sex and livelihood work change in 'yeehang' village after economical structure has been changed by industrialization. Based on qualitative methods, this study has several findings. Women's participation in economic activities has been continuously enlarged and the established strict division of labor by sex became weak in the village after a series of social economic structure change. Women engage in fishing and rice farming currently that they were typical men's work in past. The other side, men engage in production process of oyster after oyster farming introduced in the village. Until recently, division of labor by sex maintains in many economic activities and women tend to carry out more tedious and repeat works than men. And then, women's participation in typical men's works is more frequent than men's participation in typical women's work. I guess that this findings result from several characteristics of the village: isolation of outside world by geographical position; limitation of capitalization relations from having the additional job which is various in most of those inhabit in the village; enlargement of this tendency toward having more additional jobs in the most recent. Finally, effects of industrialization among farming and fishing villages have not uniformity but diversity which is based on regional feature.
