Who is responsible for the day to day work in PNG village society?

Usually the responsibility for the day to day work of gardening and caring for children and animals still lies with the women. Social units are based on family, clan and tribe. Ownership of material wealth is vested in the household and sometimes controlled by a male elder. PNG is very diverse and some societies are matrilineal so there is no generic answer that fits the whole of PNG
