Decision maker about a woman's own health care: mainly wife (% of women age 15-49)

This indicator reflects the percentage of currently married women aged 15 to 49 who primarily make decisions regarding their own health care. It highlights the degree of autonomy and empowerment these women experience in managing their health needs. A higher percentage suggests not only greater agency but also a potential shift towards gender equality within household dynamics. This measure can signal improvements in women's education and access to information, as well as cultural shifts that endorse female decision-making in health matters. Understanding this indicator is crucial for assessing overall health outcomes and the effectiveness of health policies aimed at enhancing women's rights and wellness in various communities. Source:
