If an individual desires good health, then demand for healthcare services increases, in other words, utilisation of healthcare services increases. The study examines healthcare utilisation among rural women in Jalpaiguri district, considering their socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. The analysis is based on a sample of 627 women covering 406 households. The study shows that out of 958 illness episodes in the Jalpaiguri district, 70.56 per cent (676 episodes) of women utilised at least one healthcare facility, while 29.43 per cent (282 episodes) did not seek any healthcare during the twelve-month reference period. The majority of women in the district preferred modern healthcare facilities, with traditional approaches being used for a limited number of illness episodes.Item Open Access Women’s Economic Security and Property Rights: Some Current Issues(University of North Bengal, 2014-03) Roy Mukherjee, SanchariWhile it has long been recognised within the gender discourse that the perpetuation of unequal property structures stems from the need for patriarchal institutions to exercise power over land both as a productive resource and as well as a store of wealth, the legal literature on property rights generally leaves the gender characteristics of property rights undefined, thus failing to recognise that intrahousehold inequalities in property rights impinge upon the distribution of rights and responsibilities within and also without the household. The paper tracks down how property rights issue has largely been neglected in gender discourse and charts out how the issue could be reinstated at the centre of women’s movement.
