Abstract: The study aims to examine the influence of Balinese women's power in the household on child welfare. The data used are household-level that is households with women born in Bali, having a spouse who is still alive, and having school-age children (aged 7-18 years old). Analysis using the ordinary least square (OLS) model. Women's power is measured relatively in ratio. The first measure is the ratio of women's education compared to their spouse's education. The second measure is the ratio of wages received by women compared to the wages of their spouse. Results show that the power of Balinese women in the household has a significant influence on improving children's welfare. The higher the education of women compared to their partners, which indicates the greater the power of women in the household, the higher the level of child welfare. The higher the level of wages for Balinese women compared to their partners, the higher the level of child welfare. This indicates that women's empowerment through their role in household decision making can be done by opening access to education and access to work in the labor market with a fair wage system.
