The impact of multiparity on women's autonomy

Abstract

Multiparity can lead to a reduction in women's autonomy. This is due to increased care demands, financial implications and social and cultural pressures. In many societies, women are expected to take primary responsibility for child rearing and household chores, while men enjoy greater freedom to pursue opportunities outside the domestic sphere (SANTOS et al, 2019).
