Abstract

One of the causes of changes in household consumption expenditure of small-scale fishermen in Indonesia is the change of catches production and catching business income resulting from seasonal changes every year. Changes in household consumption expenditures are certainly influenced by the determinants. Based on the time dimension, this paper uses cross-sectional data sourced from primary data with the respondents of outboard motor fishermen and non-powered motor.

The determinants of expenditure for household consumption of outboard motor are positively influenced by the number of family members covered and the difference in the area of residence of the fisherman and negatively by the household income, whereas the wife's formal education has no significant effect. In contrast, household consumption expenditures of non-powered motor fishermen are positively influenced by household income and are negatively influenced by wife education and regional differences, while the number of family members borne has no significant effect.
