Abstract
Women’s decision making in seeking health treatment has positive impacts on both mother’s and child health. But due to traditionalism Pakistani women seldom makes these decisions. PSLMS 2007-08 data was used to identify the determinants of women decision making in seeking health treatment (n=23776). The results revealed that only 11.9 % of the women make the decisions by herself. Women’s Decision making is positively associated with age, Education, Number of Children, Income, and Wealth Quintile. Urban women are more likely to make the decisions than the rural women. Women living in Punjab province have a stronger say in decision making compared with the other provinces. Bivariate analysis shows that married women have more say in decision making while multivariate shows otherwise. All the factors mentioned above are highly significant however the effect of number of children on women’s decision making is not same for all the provinces.
