Women skill development: The path to economic change and sustainability

Abstract

Women in the past experienced a variety of socioeconomic obstacles that prohibited them from fully participating in the workforce and limited their access to possibilities for development and advancement. Women's Skill development means the process of developing and perfecting the skills, knowledge and expertise of women so that they can be empowered and actively participate in various sectors of society. It aims to close the gender gap by giving women the skills they need to succeed in their personal and professional lives. Women have historically faced many barriers and discrimination that have limited their access to education, employment opportunities and Skill development programs. However, governments, organizations and communities have recognized the importance of gender equality and women's empowerment and have increasingly focused on promoting women's skills development. Scholarly studies on empowering females have gained popularity in the past few decades, and many investigations are being carried out to examine various facets of this issue. Financial independence constitutes an essential facet of women being empowered. The involvement of women in occupations is commonly acknowledged as an essential component in fostering growth in the economy and minimizing inequality. A research investigation conducted in 2004 by Kabeer and Mahmud showed that financial independence for women may manifest in higher incomes, greater nutrition and wellness, and increased authority over home decisions. By empowering women through technology and entrepreneurship, we can pave the way for economic transformation and sustainability. It is essential to work with governments, educational institutions, industry experts and women themselves to design and implement comprehensive programs that address the specific needs and challenges of women in developing their skills. We can create a more inclusive, fairer and more sustainable world by empowering women and enabling them to reach their full potential. In order to achieve sustainable economic change and ensure a brighter future for all, it is important that we continue to prioritize and invest in the development of women's skills.
