Welfare Impact Analysis of Menstrual Hygiene Policy through Empirical Study in Punjab

This paper outlays a study of 144 women, done in Ludhiana district of Punjab, whereininformation has been obtained through objective as well as openended questions.

. Schools only teach the girls about menstruation which perpetuates a culture of hiding it from the male population and fails to teach boys that it being a biological phenomenon needs to be respected and not ridiculed. Female attendants at government pharmacies are therefore necessary to encourage women to buy pads and also, these pharmacies can be used for spreading salubrious information. This paper further deploys three different methods to conduct an economic analysis as to why the government scheme is not efficient enough, and what steps can be taken to address this problem.
