| dc.description | Women constitute almost half of the total population of the country. But it is a matter of
regret that rural women are economically dependent and vulnerable, educationally backward
as well as politically and socially disadvantaged (Sarker and Rahman, 2007). Though, women
are playing very important role in both at home and outside but still disparities exist between
men and women in education, health, employment and income opportunities, control over
assets, personal security and participation in the political process (Hoque and Itohara, 2008). | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The main purpose of this study was to categories and describes the profile
characteristics of the women beneficiaries, to determine the use of communication
sources by the women beneficiaries, and to explore the relationship between the
profile characteristics of the women beneficiaries of RDRS with their use of
communication sources. Data were collected using interview schedule from a
sample of 112 women beneficiaries selected by multistage random sampling
procedure from five villages of Rajendrapur union under sadar upazila of Rangpur
district during 15 February to 16 March 2012. Use of communication sources by the
RDRS women beneficiaries was determined initially on three dimensions viz.
attitude, contact and application, and finally the use of communication sources
index (UCSI) was computed. The UCSI ranged from 45.24 to 277.68 with a
possible range of 0 to 300. Based on UCSI, among the 10 communication sources
the first five communication sources were husband (277.68), neighbours (219.05),
RDRS- worker (205.95), RDRS group meeting (193.45) and relatives (160.42). The
findings revealed that the highest proportion (38.39 percent) of the women
beneficiaries had medium use of communication sources compared to 33.93 percent
low use and 27.68 percent high use. However, the last five communication sources
were RDRS officer (134.82), mobile phone (112.80), television (68.75), inputs
dealer (63.99) and SAAOs (45.24). Among the 10 characteristics of the women
beneficiaries education, farm size, annual income, daily time use, credit received
and participation in IGAs showed positive relationship with their use of
communication sources; fatalism of the women beneficiaries showed negative
correlation while their age, family size and dependency had no relationship. | en_US |
