Summary
The current Covid-19 pandemic has changed various aspects of family life. Many families experience a decrease in income, causing economic pressure. The economic pressures is a condition where the family cannot meet their needs properly. Economic difficulties will affect family life, especially through the financial pressures they face (Conger et al, 1992). International Labor Organization data or ILO (2020) estimates that as many as 1.25 billion workers, representing nearly 38 percent of the global workforce, will be at risk of layoffs. This phenomenon certainly causes problems, because the number of layoffs is getting higher which causes a decrease in family income
