Among those currently married, barely 4% of all households are headed by
women. In sharp contrast, women-headed households constitute nearly
three-fourths of those headed by a widowed person, about two-thirds of
those headed by people separated and about 60% among those who are
divorced. Given the fact that women vastly outnumber men in each of these
three categories, that's not surprising.
Among the larger states, the proportion of womenheaded households in
those who are currently married is the highest in Kerala (9.7%) followed by
Himachal and Uttarakhand with 8% and 8.4%, respectively. This proportion is
lowest in Gujarat, just 2%, followed by Delhi (2.3%) and West Bengal (2.5%).
This was revealed in the latest census data on marital status, sex and age of
household heads released on Tuesday. Over 70% of currently married men
are household heads, compared to barely 3% of the married women the data
showed.

Even among the women headed households, a signifi cant chunk could be
because the male members have mi grated out for work, which would
explain why a state like Uttarakhand has such a high proportion, though
cultural factors could also be playing a role in states like Kerala and
Meghalaya.
When households comprising married couples were grouped according to
the age of the household head, the data showed an interesting pattern -
women-headed households formed a larger proportion among households
where the head was below 20 years of age. This proportion was 10.6% at the
national level. The proportion of womenheaded households kept falling as
the age of household heads increased till it touched 3.3% in the 50-59 age
group.Beyond 59 years, the proportion of women-headed households rose
slowly , till it touched 7% in the 80+ age group.

The pattern is repeated in almost every state, though the exact age group at
which the declining trend reverses varies from state to state.
If smaller states are also counted, Meghalaya had the highest proportion of
women-headed households (9.8%), marginally higher than Kerala, among
those currently married. Kerala has the highest proportion of women headed
households in the lower age groups. About 24% of households headed by
people aged below 20 years are women-headed. This rises to 35% of
households with heads aged 20-29, falls to 22% in the 30-39 age group and
then keeps falling as the age of the household head increases.
Though the number of widowed men is much lower than widowed women,
70% of widowed men headed their households against only 51.7% of
widowed women. This could mean that almost half the 43.3 million widowed
women live as dependents.
