Intra-Household Decision-Making—A Gender analysis
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2019, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper attempts to test whether women do have bargaining power in Intra-household decision-making and is based on data drawn from a survey in Mumbai of 200 married women. The regression models take account of human capital factors. The results show that for similar levels of academic back ground, work experience, salary levels, profession etc., women systematically have very little voice at lower salary levels than at higher salary levels in matters related to investments within their household. Thus, pure human capital models of labour market are inadequate to account for the gender perspective. Any analysis of the labour market must hence incorporate gender as an explicit variable.
