Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Anaemia is a major public health issue in Karnataka, particularly among women, affecting their productivity and overall economic contributions. This study examines the impact of anaemia on women's productivity and its implications for economic development. Utilizing secondary data from government reports, health surveys, and academic literature, the study explores prevalence rates, contributing factors, and economic consequences. Findings suggest that anaemia significantly hampers women’s work efficiency, educational attainment, and overall economic participation. Policy recommendations include improved nutritional interventions, enhanced healthcare access, and targeted economic policies to mitigate anaemia’s impact.
