Abstract

Potato commodities present after the era of corn and tobacco in Dieng Plateau in the early stages contribute significantly to the economic aspects of farmers. High selling price and short planting season cause farmers to do the potato farming activities intensively. The inclusion of potato commodities led to the modernization of agriculture and created the social stratification gap of farmer communities in terms of production mode mastery. Population growth then complicate the issue. Agricultural activities have penetrated the environmental destruction on the basis of agricultural and residential needs. The impact is reduced environmental support and also the income of farmers. The modern agricultural system in Dieng Plateau creates a new economic structure relating to the capitalist market and contributes to ecological damage. The problems that occur in Dieng Plateau attract the attention of various parties to perform the recovery through the process of 'empowerment'. Unfortunately, the empowerment process is still technically biased and makes the poor as well as the farmer as an object.

Abstract

Employment issues remain a significant challenge under the current government. The lack of job opportunities forces people to take any available work to meet their daily needs, aligning with Scott's subsistence theory, which describes survival efforts to fulfill life necessities. Consequently, many turn to the informal sector as a survival strategy due to the lack of alternatives. This phenomenon is evident in Sindangjawa Village, where agricultural labor is highly demanded. Despite insufficient wages for agricultural workers, they do not shift to other sectors. This study aims to identify the factors influencing Sindangjawa Village residents to work as farm laborers and to examine the wages provided. Using descriptive qualitative research methods, data were collected through interviews and documentation. The study provides an overview of the conditions and symptoms observed in the field. The findings reveal that the primary factors driving Sindangjawa Village residents to choose agricultural labor are low education levels and inadequate transportation. The average education level in the village is junior high school (SMP), making it difficult for residents to compete for other jobs. Additionally, limited public transportation hinders access to urban areas. The seasonal nature of agricultural work is a significant challenge, as farm workers only earn during the planting and harvest seasons. In between these periods, finding work becomes difficult, making it hard for agricultural workers to meet their daily needs
