Empowerment of Women Leads to Social and Economic Development

Abstract

Women were perceived to be home makers and had a very little say in economy and commerce. Women are as talented as men. In the past they were not allowed to go for higher education like men resulting in wastage of their talents. Now they are getting higher education which encourages women to show their talents. This has not only benefited the women individually but to the whole society. A large number of women around the world are unemployed due to unequal opportunity for women at workplaces. Now days the above said trend is being changed and women across India are now showing a lot of interest to be economically independent. The women empowerment need arose due to gender discrimination and the male domination the women were facing since ancient time. Women Empowerment made them educated and capable of taking their own decisions in every field. Full participation of women in economic life across all sectors is important to build stronger economy, achieve internationally agreed goals for development and sustainability and improved the quality of life for women, men, families and communities. Women have become able to equalize their duties of both motherhood and entrepreneurship.
