Abstract

In today's era, It is inevitable to think about the fast pace of growth without women's contribution. Studying the connection between women's economic empowerment and economic development is the focus of this article. Women who are self-reliant, respect women, are able to make decisions and have a sense of their own worth are some of the things that are of interest. They also have better health care facilities for women and children, better awareness of their rights, gender equity, women's participation and involvement in job performance. The questionnaire is used for data collection from university faculty and administrative staff of 9 districts of Punjab province. Results of empirical analysis approved all hypotheses revealing that women's empowerment has a significant impact on the development of an economy. Outcomes of this study are beneficial for the Government in designing the policies related to females.
