However, the land owners often have difficulty in finding workers from inside the village or around the village, since in general the have their own lands and they prefer to go home every day. As a result they land from other areas in addition to the local workers. The workers from other areas outside of Batu district are than called migrant workers. There are two types of migrant workers, status, free daily workers and permanent workers. Free daily workers go home everyday, so they live far away.
Permanent workers are migrant workers who stay within the village.
This paper will describe the part case of women migrant workers who worked for Mr. Slamit. He is one of the rich farmers, who has 15 hectures of land and he cultivated most of his land, with ordinary chili plants. At the time, Mr. Slamit has 60 workers consisting of 20 women and 40 men. From the 40 men only 15 percent became permanent workers. Land owning farmers had to bring workers from various areas to free them from activities.
