Can teaching couples about money change who calls the shots on having kids?

This trial tests whether a six-session financial literacy and gender-equality program for married couples in rural India can change how women and men think about reproductive decision-making for younger generations. Researchers ask participants who should have the main say in whether and when a newly married couple has children — for couples in the community, for their own daughters, and for their own sons. The goal is to see if the program promotes more consistent support for women's reproductive autonomy, especially toward daughters-in-law.
