Abstract: GULTIANO, GRETCHON F. and TUMAMBING, MARICAR S. Gender Division of Labor of Pineapple Farming in Selected Upland Areas of Cavite. Undergraduate Thesis. Bachelor of Science in Business Management. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. April 2015. Adviser: Dr. Nelia C. Cresino. A study was conducted to determine the gender division of labor of pineapple farming in selected upland areas of Cavite, namely: Indang, Silang, and Tagaytay City from November 2014 to January 2015. Data were obtained through personal interviews with 170 pineapple growers with the aid of an interview schedule. Data were analyzed using frequency counts, mean, percentage, and ranking. Generally, pineapple growers were in the middle age, married, attained high school level of education, male, had farming as their major source of income, and tenants. On the average, the growers had a monthly income from pineapple of P11,403.53, 29 years of experience in farming, 24 years in producing pineapple, and had a household size of four. The productive activities in pineapple farming were predominantly males in particular, the fathers assisted by male helpers particularly in harvesting, fertilization, and weeding. The mothers had minimal labor contribution. However, their participation was largely in marketing, and in the selection and gathering of planting materials. The reproductive activities predominantly attributed to the mothers include: cleaning the surroundings, cleaning the house, preparing meals, washing the dishes, washing clothes, ironing clothes, child care, care of the sick/elders, tutoring children, and shopping/going to the market. The fathers were most responsible in house repair and buying LPG. The male participants devoted much time in productive activities and community activities while the female participants devoted more time in reproductive activities. The problems encountered by pineapple farmers in the performance of their roles were lack of capital, destruction of crops by typhoons, poor health condition, lack of time, and lack of awareness on community activities
