The study looked at how fishing laborers' households in Lampung make a living. They found that both men and women in these households work together to earn money. The researchers used a mix of watching, talking to people, and surveys to gather information. They discovered that the most important resource for these households is their social connections. Men spend more time fishing, while women often borrow money when needed. Overall, the resources available to the households are closely linked to the strategies they use to make a living.
