Aakanksha Sharma, Dr. Ishwar Swaroop Sahay


Abstract: Women are the most important and beautiful creations of the world. Earlier women don't have access to education so they were not aware of their rights but as time changed, they got the education which influenced their decision - making power both at home and at the workplace. Women Empowerment refers to the "ability of women to make their decisions on their own and fulfill their all needs so that they can get equal opportunities as men". Nowadays as the Feminist wave is getting exposure, most women can take their own decisions but the rest of them needs support. This Research paper analyzed the role of women in decision - making at home regarding the following factors - Financial decisions, Cooking, conceiving children/ Use of protection, Family Planning, Visiting Parent's home after marriage, travelling to places, and spending cash on buying important things for the home and for self - care. This study covers 50 domestic decision - making women aged 20 - 50 years in the Agra district of U. P. It includes Descriptive research which includes Primary data collection using an Interview Schedule and Case - Study.
