In Jakarta Province, most coastal residents work as fishermen or in fisheries-related occupations. Climate change has prolonged the west monsoon season and contributed to rising sea levels, making it increasingly difficult for small-scale or daily fishermen to sail. Consequently, fishermen and their communities must seek alternative sources of income. Some take on temporary jobs during high tides or monsoon periods, while others rely on their wife’s income. During low tide, fishermen often work as motorcycle taxi drivers, construction workers, or other forms of temporary labour. Women play a vital role in supporting the family economy, particularly when their husbands cannot work at sea. This study explores how job shifts occur in the coastal areas of Jakarta Province, examining the causes and responses to climate change impact. Using a descriptive analysis approach, the research draws on both primary and secondary data, including in-depth interviews with key informants and focus group discussions with stakeholders. The findings of this study indicate that job shifting is a common survival strategy among fishermen during monsoon seasons, which are increasingly affected by climate change. While some households remain financially stable through dual income arrangements, many rely on informal or gig work as a coping mechanism. These findings highlight the urgent need for collaboration between local and central governments and the private sector to provide skills training, legal protection, and alternative employment opportunities, especially in strengthening financial resilience and planning capacity.
