Abstract

West Sumatra is one of the biggest rice producing regions in Indonesia. One of these areas is located in Solok Regency, but this is inversely proportional to the economic conditions of the community. There are still many who live below the poverty line. We can find this in Nagari Sungai Janiah, where in this area the community, especially women, work as paddy pangirai. The work is occupied by women because they have no other work and there is no agricultural land to be cultivated. The women in Nagari Sungai Janiah change their functions as paddy pangirai, they no longer find work as day laborers. This happens because of the large number of land use changes. In addition, farmers prefer to work their own farmland. The socio-economic life of rice suppliers is still far from feasible, they need funds for children's schooling, daily expenses. There is competition among paddy pengirai this happens because they are racing to get much paddy.
