The NFHS data on women’s landownership : Pitfalls and prospects - Economic and Political Weekly - 58(33), Aug 19, 2023: p.13-17

The National Family Health Survey collects data on landownership by gender through a woman’s questionnaire and a household questionnaire. The WQ figures were found to be highly inflated and showing contrary regional patterns and serious inconsistencies. In contrast, the HHQ figures appear reliable but need extraction and are not published. The NFHS should extract and publish these for analysis.- Reproduced
