A Study on Importance of Women Empowerment in Economic Development
Abstract
Women’s empowerment and economic development are closely interrelated. While development itself will bring about women’s empowerment, empowering women will bring about changes in decision making, which will have a direct impact on development.Women spend almost twice as much time on housework, almost five times as much time on child care, and about half as much time on market work as men do.Women’s equality and empowerment is one of the Sustainable Development Goals, and is also integral to all dimensions of inclusive and sustainable development.
