EMPOWERING WOMEN

 UPSC GS MAINS IMPORTANT QUESTIONS

"Empowering women is the key to control population growth". Discuss.



Different dimensions of women empowerment like education, autonomy, control over household decision making, economic empowerment, and the balance of power within sexual relationships should be addressed as these have direct bearing on their fertility control of women. Modernization can also be a powerful factor for promotion of the contraceptive behavior. Education is an important component in leading women towards modernization. An educated woman is likely to become mother at a later stage of her life.

 Empowerment should be viewed as a process in which all voices are encouraged to be heard for ultimate goal of securing mutually beneficial solutions. Spouses, partners and mother-in-laws often make decision for women on contraceptive choice and use. Women are also financially weak to pay for needed family planning and health services. The relationship between empowerment and women's use of services for family planning is complex and problematic.India needs to empower women so that they can decide on the size of the family and thus help the country curb the growth of its population. The mindset of most of the people, including the educated ones, is that family planning is the responsibility of a woman. Social moves like educating girls will empower women to take informed decisions about her body and her life, as well as that of the child. Curbing under-age marriage and teenage pregnancy will also help in checking the birth rate.
