Acknowledgement I would like to extend my gratitude to my teacher
Mr. Vidur who gave me the golden opportunity to carry out the survey.
This wonderful project helped me in doing a lot of research and I discovered a lot many new things.
It gave me insights on womanhood and the sacrifice they make, making me realize the importance of women.
I have wholeheartedly enjoyed the challenge of examining and researching on the topic.
I would also like to extend my sincerest thanks and appreciation to those patient souls who helped me accomplish this study and happily filled out the questionnaires.
Objectives To understand the use of basic
Mathematics and Statistics in doing real life survey.
To know how priorities of women change after marriage and the sacrifices they make.
To give a practical approach to theoretical knowledge of graphs and pie-charts.
Methodology I first decided to go with TWO surveys
instead of just one.Secondly, I made a questionnaire to know
what girls of modern era feel about health and other important issues etc, and how women earlier felt about the same thing so as to give a comparative analysis.
At the end, I have made a conclusion by collecting all the results and presenting them in graphs to give a more practical inference.
Introduction to TopicWoman was created as a companion
for man.But now we see woman as a second-
class citizen. We often see them hopeless, destitute, wronged only because this world has stopped giving importance to the woman.
With this project, we are trying at our level to improve the status of women not only in the eyes of men but also in their own self.

PoorFairGoodVery GoodExcellent
After
PoorFairGoodVery GoodExcellent
ObservationsDegree of health consciousness has
slightly increased with more women answering ‘fair’, and ‘very good’ after marriage.
Possible Reasons: Change in the mindset of women.More aware.More conscious about importance of
health.
How much particular were/are you about yourself? (spa, yoga)
Before

ObservationsWhen it comes to visiting spas,
beauty parlors etc, % of women who answered ‘good’ particular about themselves has decreased from 13% to 3% after marriage.
Possible reasons: Lack of timeFeels no more relevant to visit
such places because they think it is of no use because they are married.
Did/Do you get enough time for yourself?
Before
Very lessNot muchEnoughMore than enough
After

Observations59% women feel that they do get ‘not much’ time
for themselves after marriage as compared to just 9% before marriage.
68% Women who answered they get ‘enough’ time for themselves before marriage have been reduced to a mere 25% after marriage.
Possible reasons: Household workKidsHusbandSelfless concern for family (Respect!) Split attention

Survey 2Now I will compare the ‘before
marriage’ data of married women (referred to as Before 1990’s) with females who are unmarried right now (referred to as After 1990’s)!
I will give inferences regarding if it is a positive or a negative sign seeing the trend.
No calculations involved!

28-30
ObservationsOnly 2% girls want to get married by the age of 22,
whereas 15% of the girls’ family want the same. 15% girls want to get married between the age of
22-24, whereas 36% girls’ family members want them to get married by 24 years.
43% girls want to get married between the age of 26-30 whereas a mere 11% family members want the same.
Possible reasons:Girls seem to have become more career oriented. They want to become more self reliant. Parents still have a traditional approach.
Health Consciousness
Before 1990’s
PoorFairGoodVery GoodExcellent
After 1990’s
PoorFairGoodVery GoodExcellent
ObservationsFrom 13% in 1990’s, 33% girls have
now reported that they have ‘good’ food habits.
‘Very good’ habits tally has increased from 9% to 14%.
Inference:Girls are now becoming more health
conscious in a decent way, which is a positive sign.
How much particular were/are you about yourself?
Before 1990’s
PoorFairGoodVery GoodExcellent
After 1990’s
PoorFairGoodVery GoodExcellent
Observations35% girls answered that they do
pay heed as much as it is required to become more particular about themselves as compared to 13% before 1990’s.
Did/Do you get enough time for yourself?
Before 1990’s
Very lessNot muchEnoughMore than enough
After 1990’s
Very lessNot muchEnoughMore than enough
ObservationsFrom 13% back in 1990’s, it is now 40%
girls who say they do not get enough time for themselves.
48% girls have to say that they get enough time for themselves now as compared to 68% girls back before 1990’s.
Inference:It is really not a positive sign. If you don’t have time for yourself, it can
lead to frustration.
