WOMEN EMPOWERMENT AND HEALTH STATUS OF RURAL IN TAMILNADU

S. Manimegalai, A. Sahadeven

By : Laxmi Book Publication

Abstract :

The health status of women in India is an area which so far has received inadequate scholarly attention. The limited evidences from the few studies available present a dismal picture. India is one of the few countries where life expectancy of women has been less than that of men till very recently. For rural women this still holds good .More girls than boys die in infancy and childhood. This higher female infant and child mortality is a rare phenomenon not found even in countries with far higher mortality rates than, India, and is believed to be the consequence of the discriminatory treatment of the female child. It is seen that 'Deaths of young girls in India exceed those of young boys by at least one-third of a million every year. The vast majority of women have not had even a single year of schooling. Given their lack of resources and education, the women have little option but to work and earn money for their families' subsistence.
