Women's health status affects their productivity and thereby their role in society and development. Their own health is influenced by various factors, which need to be investigated to improve their health status. Keeping this in view, the present study was undertaken to find out the impact of family type on marriage and birth practices and health problems of rural women. It was found that the type of family had a significant effect on birth practices. The results indicated that 26.4% respondents from nuclear family were married after 20 years of age, while it was only 4.5% in case of joint families. In all deliveries in 58.3% cases were performed at home while only 33.3% in hospitals. Nuclear families were more conscious about post partum hygiene. A shift towards health awareness was observed among rural women as 73.3% visited doctors for pregnancy and birth related checkups which was quite higher than that observed in earlier studies. More rural women from nuclear families (71.1%) reported work excessiveness as compared to joint families (36.4%). A significant impact of family type on occurrence of diseases among rural women was also observed. It was concluded that women from nuclear families were more health conscious and had better knowledge in adopting marriage and birth practices than those of joint families.Keywords

Ageing is a constant, predictable process that involves growth and development of living organisms. The United Nations anticipates that the number of people aged 65 and over will increase to 822 million all over the world by 2025. The increase of ageing population is a major concern to both the family and the government. Developing countries such as China and India have the largest total population, and will continue to have the largest absolute number of elderly people. Nobody grow old merely by living a certain number of years. Years may wrinkle the skin but worry, doubt, fear, anxiety, tension and self disrespect wrinkle the soul. Elderly people are highly prone to mental morbidities due to ageing of the brain, problems associated with physical health and socio-economic factors like break down of family support and decline in economic independence. The issue is more acute for women because they are disadvantaged in the predominantly patriarchal societies in which most of them live. The present study examines the changes in mental health of aged rural women and influence of various socio-economic factors on these changes. A semi-structured questionnaire on socio-demographic and mental health profiles of women was developed to assess their mental health status. Most of the women under study were consuming those food items which were easily available in villages and their diet generally lacked fruits, eggs and meat as only 17.5 per cent women were consuming egg and meat while 21.3 per cent ate fruits occasionally. Majority of aged women reported that they could concentrate on work (82.5%) and pay a useful role in the family (83.7%) provided they were given due respect and health care. It was found that more than half of them (57.5%) remained under stress due to one or the other reason and the magnitude of their mental stress was more than their physical one. Family education had positive impact on mental health status of elder women of the family as the mental health level of aged rural women from families having higher education was somewhat better than those of having lower level of family education. More rural aged women from married class were mentally good (86.0%) than those from widow class (67.6%). Family bonding among its members plays an important role in maintaining their physical and mental health specially those of older persons. More number of aged women from medium size families (84.4%) was having good mental health level as compared to those of small (78.3%) and large size (50.0%) families. It was found that high family income was not a guarantee of good mental health of its elderly women but it is the love and affection of family members that natters to keep the mental health of aged women sound as more women from families having medium annual income were having good mental health level (87.1%). The present study showed some association of socio-economic factors with mental health and functioning of an elderly woman. It is necessary that the caregivers be made aware of the physical and mental conditions and problems of the elderly people so as to meet their needs as far as possible in the home setting itself.Keywords

The modern India is emerging as a global power but for half of its population, the women across the country, struggle to live life with dignity continue. Women, irrespective of their caste, class and educational status, are not safe and have been the victim of exploitations since long time in different fields in their life both physically, socially, mentally and economically. Eve teaching is the most common act of public violence against women which includes various forms of harassment like making vulgar comment, indecent proposal, unwelcome gestures, attempt to make physical contact, etc. The present study was conducted on 75 girls studying in rural colleges. The data were collected using a interview schedule and analysed for drawing inferences. The results revealed that 64.0 per cent respondents had faced one or other form of eve teaching in their life. More than 2/3rd of the respondents were against the opinion that dress of girl is responsible for eve teaching. The main causes of eve teaching explained by the respondents were lack of respect for girls (89.0%), lack of education (80.0%), lower sex ratio (70.0%), low mentality of males (68.0%) and shyness of girls (67.0%). Majority of girls were of the opinion that incidence of eve teasing can be reduced by strictly enforcing laws (72.0%), moral education at home (76.0%), informing parents (80.0%), awareness about surrounding and self confidence (84.0% each). Expectations of girl students from government and educational institutions have also been discussed and it was concluded that more awareness among girls and preventive measures are needed to curb the menace of eve teasing.Keywords

Sex ratio is an important social indicator to measure the extent of the prevailing equality between males and females in a society at a given point of time. Clianges in sex ratio largely reflect the underlying socio-economic and cultural patterns of a society in different ways. The present paper reviews various socio-cultural factors like traditional cultural practices, health practices, food and nutrition, education, awareness about laws, mobility of girls, attitude toward female, son preference, etc. that affect sex ratio and causes health deprivation of girl child. It is concluded that patriarchy manifested in son preference and daughter discrimination reduces the survival chances of girl child. This is reinforced by factors including property inheritance, dowry, high marriage cost and availability of the cheap technology. The results of various studies suggest that there is a need to change the mind set of society about girls their survival and development.Keywords

Women's health has been a global concern for many decades and India is one of the few countries in the world where women and men have nearly the same life expectancy at birth. Health care access is important for women as women's body charges throughout her life time, from fatal development to post menopause. The complex structure of the culture and socio-economic factors prevalent in patriarchal Indian society is responsible for the persistent discrimination in terms of health issues. The paper reviews various socio-cultural, economic and psychological barriers affecting women health. It has been observed by various researchers that women's health is influenced by age, work load, education, family type and size and socio-economic status. Additionally women provide the majority of family health care by caring for both aging parents and children although efforts have been taken to improve the health status of women but the constitution dream of gender inequality is terms of health are miles away from becoming reality, even today. The State Government of Haryana needs to urgently undertaking massive women's healthcare drive to correct the situation but still more efforts are required to improve the health condition of care taker of whole family.Keywords
