Determinants of Women's Participation in Household Decision-Making in Indian Society: A study from recent Demographic Health Survey

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Women's participation in household decision-making is a key indicator of empowerment, particularly in patriarchal societies like India. Despite the implementation of various programmes aimed at promoting gender equality, many ever-married young women continue to lack autonomy in critical areas of decision-making. This study investigates young ever-married women’s involvement in decisions related to healthcare, household purchases, mobility, and financial matters, and identifies the socio-cultural and economic factors that influence their autonomy
