This study was designed using a quantitative approach. The population of this research is Kaili women who have businesses in the Palu City Forest. The sample of this research is women Kaili business actors in the Palu City Forest, with a total of 183 respondents. Data collection techniques consist of observation, questionnaires, and documentation. Data analysis uses descriptive statistical analysis. The results of the study show that women Kaili business actors in the Palu City Forest play a role in encouraging the strengthening of the family economy. From a social perspective, women Kaili business actors have a high level of social bounding, which is indicated by the kinship of women Kaili with other families that creates empathy and togetherness. This can also encourage the strengthening of the family economy. Meanwhile, from a cultural perspective, the level of inequality among women Kaili business actors in the Palu City Forest is strongly influenced by culture. This inequality means that women Kaili business actors in the Palu City Forest do not feel competitive and different from other business actors, so they feel relaxed in doing business and have an impact on strengthening the family economy.
