PERSPEKTIF MASYARAKAT DESA TERHADAP FENOMENA CHILDFREE (STUDI MASYARAKAT DESA WONOREJO, BLITAR)

Abstract

Childfree is a problem that is considered as something that deviates from the social construction of the community that believes that the purpose of marriage is to form a family consisting of fathers, mothers and children. Referring to the village of Wonorejo, Blitar Regency, this study aims to find out the perspective of its community on the phenomenon of Childfree. This study uses descriptive qualitative methods with several theoretical approaches, namely phenomenology, liberal feminism, and social construction. The results of this study indicate that the majority of Wonorejo villagers view that children are an entity and a valuable asset that will also have its own value so that the existence of children is what is needed.
