dc.description.abstract | Women’s decision-making capacity is central for promoting their wellbeing. When women are unable to decide for themselves independently means to promote their wellbeing, scarce resources are likely to be underutilized. Women’s capacity to make decisions especially on matters that influence their wellbeing is of central concern for the provision of social services as well as health care services. Thus, determinants of women’s decision-making capacity are essential for improving their status in society and households. The aim of this work is to analyze relationship between level of autonomy and agency of women in conjunc-tion with their effects on their decision-making ability using structural equation modeling in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Participants of this study are women older than 15 years old residing in Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Results reveal that women’s agency positively influences their decision-making capacity. Also, autonomy has a significant and positive indirect effect on women's decision-making capacity, but its direct effect decreases when agency is included | es_MX |
dc.description.abstract | La capacidad de toma de decisiones es central en la promoción del bienestar de las mujeres. Cuando las mujeres no son capaces de decidir por ellas mismas, los medios para promover su bienestar, los recursos escasos, pueden ser subutilizados. Por lo tanto, los determinan-tes de la capacidad de toma de decisión de las mujeres son esenciales para promover su posi-ción en la sociedad y en los hogares. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar las relaciones entre el nivel de autonomía y agencia de las mujeres en conjunto con sus efectos en su capacidad de toma de decisión en Nuevo León, México. Los resultados revelan que la agencia de las mujeres afecta de manera positiva su capacidad de toma de decisiones. También, la autonomía tie-ne un efecto indirecto positivo y significativo sobre la capacidad de toma de decisiones de las mujeres, pero su efecto indirecto se reduce cuando se incluye el nivel de agencia | - |
