This study examines the effect of double burden and job performance on the economic welfare of female teachers in public and private schools in Surakarta. Using a quantitative explanatory approach and Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data were collected from 100 female teachers selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that the double burden does not significantly affect economic welfare in either public or private schools. Job performance significantly influences economic welfare only for public school teachers, while it shows no significant impact in private schools. The welfare of private teachers appears to be more strongly shaped by institutional conditions, remuneration policies, and income stability rather than performance. Meanwhile, the performance-based compensation system in public schools strengthens the link between performance and economic welfare. The study contributes to the literature by offering a comparative institutional perspective and emphasizing that structural differences determine female teachers’ welfare more substantially than individual workloads. Practical implications highlight the need for equitable incentive systems and gender-responsive policies to improve teacher welfare in both sectors.
