Role of Education in Empowering Women Towards Gender Equality and SDGs: a Case of Delhi
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 4
Abstract
According to Amartya Sen (1992) “Women Empowerment is the ability of women to exercise full control over one‟s actions and is one of the central issues in the process of development for many countries in the world today.” Women are empowered when they have the freedom to control and command their own lives. Economic empowerment increases women‟s access to economic resources and opportunities including jobs, financial services, property, skill development and market information. One way of ensuring such economic empowerment of Indian women is through 'enhanced role of education'. This paper aims to focus on the economic empowerment of women by considering the enhanced role of education to eradicate gender inequality. This study tries to establish the importance of education by means of primary data collection and analysis in Delhi region for educated and uneducated women and ascertain the detrimental role of the same in the economic empowerment of women.
