Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa baik laki-laki dan perempuan mempunyai akses yang sama dalam pemetikan tetapi partisipasi mereka dibagi berdasarkan gender dan dipengaruhi patriarki. Perempuan mempunyai partisipasi besar dalam pemetikan manual sedangkan laki-laki mendominasi mekanisasi mesin petik. Manual membutuhkan waktu yang tinggi yang menyebabkan perempuan mempunyai waktu kerja yang lebih banyak dari laki-laki dan hal ini menambah beban perempuan yang secara general mempunyai beban ganda. Sebagai konsekuensinya, perempuan harus bekerja lebih keras. Namun, partisipasi perempuan dalam pekerjaan produktif memungkinkan perempuan untuk menghasilkan pendapatan yang memberikan perempuan posisi yang lebih baik dalam rumah tangga, seperti kekuasaan dalam pengambilan keputusan dan posisi tawar dalam mengakses peningkatan kapasitas keterampilan.<br />Kata kunci: relasi gender, pemetik teh, perkebunan teh, Harvard Analytical Framework, Gender Action Learning System</p>
