Abstract

Women migrant workers are an important part of the global workforce who are often faced with complex challenges related to time management. This article aims to present the results of community service which focuses on time management for female migrant workers, especially in balancing economic income with the quality of children's education. Through a series of community service activities, we explore effective time management strategies for female migrant workers in maintaining a balance between family economic needs and children's education. The results of community service show that female migrant workers face various challenges in managing their time, including busy work schedules, time zone differences, and job uncertainty. Through a solution-oriented approach, we identify several strategies that can help them balance work and motherhood. These strategies include: (1) Prioritizing children's education as the main goal; (2) Establish open communication with children to understand their needs; (3) Utilize technology to stay connected and support children's education remotely; and (4) Collaboration with family and community to obtain additional support. By implementing these strategies, female migrant workers can increase the effectiveness of their time management, thereby being able to provide adequate attention to their children's education while still meeting the family's economic needs. In conclusion, effective time management is a key factor in balancing economic income with the quality of children's education for female migrant workers, which has the potential to have a positive impact on the family and society.
