Interpretation
The figure above shows that the male is the superior in terms of being the head of
the family because it is 74% of the total population. Females also lead families but they
are fewer than the males having 26%.
Analysis
In the families that we surveyed,many are led by the males in their homes. The
males are the provider of the family and they are the ones who earn money. They are the
one who make the decisions.
Health Implication
Being the head of the family equals work with a wage enough to support the
family, not having work or having a very low income that is not enough for the family
means not being socially recognized as the head. For many men not having work or
having low income results in shame, stress, depression, lack of social identity, and worst
increased likelihood of violence or other antisocial behaviours (United Nations, 2011).
