| description | Due to the prevalence of patriarchy in Bangladesh many families do not give women the
equal decision-making rights as their husbands. Many studies have found that a woman’s
bargaining power in the household is greatly dependent on her fertility output. So, this study uses
five decision-making indicators and six women empowerment indicators to see whether having a
firstborn son improves a woman’s status in the family. By using the Bangladesh 2017-18
Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) this paper found that there is no significant effect of
having a firstborn son for having a higher bargaining power. This study also shows women’s
age, education, and earnings are the main determinants of having a higher status in the family. |
