Eleven of the 22 states in NFHS-5 data reported a decline in the fraction of women owning houses or land, five of them in the northeast.

To empower women, give them equal opportunities in every field and give them power in without any discrimination. On December 12, the Indian government released the fifth National Family Health Survey fact-sheet for 17 states and five UTs, including indicators of great importance to India, including those relevant to the sustainable development goal of gender equality (SDG-5).

These indicators include education, educational freedom, economic contribution, economic freedom, household management and decision-making, perceived status within the household, and health – which directly influence the status of women in India. Based on them, we can understand if women are participating in household decisions, if they are allowed a say in decisions related to their health and wellbeing, their ‘status’ in the family and the community, and so on.

Decision making related to health, major household purchases and visiting relatives: Bihar has reported the maximum increase from 75.2% in NFHS-4 (2015-2016) to 86.5% in NFHS-5 (2019-2020). Almost 99% of women in Nagaland participate in household decision-making, followed by Mizoram at 98.8%. On the other hand, Ladakh and Sikkim reported the biggest decrease in women’s participation in decision-making, with a 7-5% drop among married women.
