Investigating the Factors Affecting Women's Power within the family the family

The present article has been written with the aim of investigating the factors affecting women's power in the family. For this purpose, the data of the National Family Survey in 2019 have been reviewed and analyzed. The statistical population in this study includes people over 15 who living in urban areas of the whole country. The research findings show that although the distribution of power and decision-making within Iranian families leans towards men, the type of attitude of women towards the issue of distribution of power also shows their acceptance of this situation. In addition, the findings of this study showed that increasing the level of education of men and women and employment of women, as well as the expansion of their relationships and information, leads to a fair distribution of power in the family. But the important point in this study, contrary to the theory of resources, which considered access to economic resources important, is that not only women's income, it does not affect their decision-making power within the family, but may work outside the family psychologically and increase other skills. Empower them or make them more aware of the right within the family, which will be effective in increasing their decision-making power within the family.
