Education and Decision Making of Tribal Women in Developing Nations

Abstract

"The study shows that decisions taken alone by the women are the highest among maternal grandmothers and lowest in mothers’ generations. Decisions by the husband are the highest for paternal grandmothers and lowest in mothers’ generations. Combined decision making by both husband and wife is very high among all the two generations, the highest among paternal grandmothers and maternal grandmothers as in the case of expenditure on food, highest among mothers on children’s education. Women who are educated were able to take decisions more than the uneducated women to some extent."
