Women have a very strategic role and function in the family and society. Women who play multiple roles,

always adapt to various components even though they often face pressure from their environment. When
under pressure, women will adapt themselves to fit environmental conditions and even be able to change
the environment according to their own circumstances. These changes can be in the form of changes in

the functional structure of family life such as patterns of use of time and activities for the family, household
affairs, work, socio-economics, self-development and the use of leisure time. The high role of women in

their lives determines the quality of their lives.
This study aims to determine how big the contribution of the dominance of the domestic role between

husband and wife to the quality of life of women with the population being home-based entrepreneurs in
the Malang City Region. A person with a healthy physical, mental and social condition will create a good

quality of life for himself. If there are physical, mental, or social health problems, it can reduce the value of
quality of life. The research results were analyzed descriptively and presented through tables and graphs.

other supporting factors, the dominant factor is education (Bachelor 42%), running their own business (
