Abstract

Women have a prime importance in the developmental process of any state. The significance of this particular gender can be observed by the investments made in particular areas to raise gender equalities and women awareness. However, corruption inhibits economic growth even when women are putting their efforts into economic output. The current research has investigated the impact of women’s empowerment on economic growth with the moderating role of corruption through time series data from 1997 to 2019. This research adopted single and average methods for data analysis. The estimated outcomes showed a similar pattern: women’s empowerment is found to have a significant positive impact on economic growth. However, corruption is found to be moderating with an enhancing effect instead of a buffering effect. From the empirical investigation, it is concluded that more empowered women are likely to decline the corruption rate in selected BRICS countries. Because they began with the concept that women are essential to the process of economic growth, empowered women affiliated with the BRICS countries have been successful in enhancing their economic growth.
