Abstract: ALMENDO, LEIZEL LUNA, "Gender-Based Analysis of Reproductive Activities in Coffee Farming Systems", B. S. Thesis, Bachelor of Science in Development Management, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite, April 1999. Adviser: Dr. Marietta C. Mojica. The study was conducted to describe the socio-economic characteristics of coffee growers and their household, describe the gender-role differentiation in reproductive activities, analyze the time allocation of coffee growers and their households in reproductive activities, describe the access and control over home-based resource, and identify the problems encountered in the performance of reproductive activities. Amadeo and Silang of Upland Cavite were selected as areas of the research study. A total of 172 respondents was selected using stratified proportional sampling. Majority of the respondents were male. The average age of the respondents was 50 years, the majority of which were elementary graduates. The household size of the respondents ranged from two to 16 members. The average annual family income was P-92,876.26. In terms of gender-role differentiation in reproductive activities, results show that among the household members, mothers still performed most of the activities except in house repair, gathering firewood and buying liquified petroleum gas (LPG). Average time allocation of household members in reproductive activities, per day revealed that mother still spent 1,080 minutes or 18 hours. Father still spent about 90 minutes while the children spent 480 minutes or 8 hours during weekend. Majority of the respondents reported that both men and women shared equal access to cash, as well as to television and electric fan . Women had access to washing machine (88 percent), radio cassette/stereo (86 percent) and gas range/stove (86 percent) while 100 percent of women had access to sewing machine. Majority of the respondents claimed that it was the women who had control over home-based resources. Almost all of the respondents (99 percent) reported that men had control over carpentry tools. The problems encountered in reproductive activities were financial, health condition, shortage of water and time.
