Abstract

This study explores the complexities of risk-taking behavior in Indian women, looking into the causes and effects of it. Despite social and cultural standards that frequently forbid women from taking risks, there is a growing movement among women to break down barriers and embrace risk in a variety of fields. This study investigates the socio-cultural, economic, and psychological aspects influencing risk-taking behavior, drawing on current research and empirical findings until 2020. It investigates how these risk-taking behaviors impact empowerment, autonomy in making decisions, and general well-being. The study also makes recommendations for future lines of inquiry and policy implications to encourage women in India to take risks and write papers.
