Abstract-

The habits of Bugis women as housewives in work at home and outside the home have changed over time, influenced by factors such as modernization, education, and accessibility of technology. Housewives who previously spent a lot of time taking care of work at home, now also do a lot of work outside the home. This study aims to examine in depth the habits of Bugis women towards their work, their views, and the reasons why they do this work. The method used is descriptive qualitative research, which presents oral and written information and the behavior of the object under study that actually occurs in a particular place or community. Bugis women are the most entitled and very responsible for work at home, including kitchen affairs and family finances. The presence of technology that facilitates work at home, especially in the kitchen, provides opportunities for housewives to work outside the home to increase their family income. In conclusion, modernization has had a positive impact on the working lives of Bugis women. The habit of spending time taking care of work at home can be minimized, thus providing sufficient opportunities to work outside the home.

Key words: Habits of Bugis women, Housewives, Role change, Modernization
