FEMALE HEADED

FEMALE HEADED HOUSEHOLDS
2
Reasons for emergence of Female Headed Households

• The broad range of domestic situations typically
  characterized by the absence of a resident male
  head, viz, widowhood, divorce, separation and
  desertion.
• Migration of male members for long periods
• Loss of economic function by resident males due
  to severe unemployment, disability, illness and
  male reluctance to accept jobs seen as status
  reducing, etc.
• Households with no mature sons
• Sons residing in independent nuclear units.
