Women's participation in household decision-making: A case study of rural Jaipur division, Rajasthan


Author(s): Dr. Parmod Kumar Aggarwal and Kuldeep Kumar Bairwa

Abstract: This study examines women's participation in household decision-making within the rural Jaipur Division of Rajasthan, India. It explores the socio-economic and cultural factors influencing women's roles in decision-making processes across five selected villages. The research highlights that while women's autonomy and involvement in decision-making are improving due to factors such as education and economic empowerment, significant challenges persist due to entrenched patriarchal norms. The study reveals variations in women's participation based on factors like household leadership, social categories, education levels, and employment types. Despite progress, the findings suggest that tailored interventions are necessary to enhance gender equality and empower women in rural households. The study concludes that promoting education, economic opportunities, and challenging traditional gender norms are essential to fostering equitable and effective household dynamics.
