Abstract

The present study uses National Family Health Survey, 2015–2016 (NFHS-4) data to compute a multidimensional disempowerment index for women from India. A state-level analysis shows that disempowerment levels of women from the states of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka and Bihar are found to be higher, with that of Bihar being the highest. Next, using a multilevel logistic model, the study explores the determinants of the level of women disempowerment. The probability of disempowerment is high among rural unemployed young Muslim women from joint families with low asset and education endowment and who witnessed parental violence as a child. Further, we found that the level of disempowerment of women from the state of Haryana is much higher as compared to its neighbouring state Punjab, where Haryana was an integral part of Punjab till 1966. A non-linear decomposition analysis reveals a significant contribution of Sikh religion on women’s autonomy in Punjab vis-à-vis Haryana.

剥夺妇女权力:印度各邦的经验

本研究使用2015-2016年全国家庭健康调查(NFHS-4)数据来计算印度妇女的多维赋权指数。一项州级分析显示，哈里亚纳邦、北方邦、奥里萨邦、中央邦、卡纳塔克邦和比哈尔邦的妇女被剥夺权力的程度更高，其中比哈尔邦的妇女被剥夺权力的程度最高。接下来，使用多层次逻辑模型，该研究探讨了妇女被剥夺权力水平的决定因素。在农村失业的年轻穆斯林妇女中，被剥夺权利的可能性很高，这些妇女来自共同的家庭，资产和教育禀赋都很低，小时候目睹了父母的暴力。此外，我们发现，与邻近的旁遮普邦相比，哈里亚纳邦妇女被剥夺权力的程度要高得多，直到1966年，哈里亚纳邦一直是旁遮普邦的组成部分。非线性分解分析揭示了锡克教对旁遮普邦与-à-vis哈里亚纳邦妇女自治的重大贡献。

期刊介绍： Millennial Asia: An International Journal of Asian Studies is a multidisciplinary, refereed biannual journal of the Association of Asia Scholars (AAS)–an association of the alumni of the Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF). It aims to encourage multifaceted, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on Asia, in order to understand its fast changing context as a growth pole of global economy. By providing a forum for Asian scholars situated globally, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community, civil society and policy makers on Asian issues. The journal examines Asia on a regional and comparative basis, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. Modern and contemporary Asia has witnessed dynamic transformations in cultures, societies, economies and political institutions, among others. It confronts issues of collective identity formation, ecological crisis, rapid economic change and resurgence of religion and communal identifies while embracing globalization. An analysis of past experiences can help produce a deeper understanding of contemporary change. In particular, the journal is interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical perspective, through the use of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches. This way, it hopes to promote comparative studies involving Asia’s various regions. The journal brings out both thematic and general issues and the thrust areas are: Asian integration, Asian economies, sociology, culture, politics, governance, security, development issues, arts and literature and any other such issue as the editorial board may deem fit. The core fields include development encompassing agriculture, industry, regional trade, social sectors like health and education and development policy across the region and in specific countries in a comparative perspective.
