Study on Economic Empowerment of Indian Women through Education – an Enabling Factor for Women Labour Force Participation
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 4
Abstract
World Bank (2010) asserts that women empowerment is one of the key elements for poverty reduction and achieving primary development goals among developing economies. In India where the focus is increasingly shifting towards „inclusive growth‟, empowering women through improved education has become a key central policy across the nation. UN Women Report, 2005 establishes that educating the girl child is extremely important not only to ensure gender equality but in enabling them to be part of the countries labor force thereby aiding economic growth. This study therefore dwells deeper into the state of adult education of women in India and finds that even though the enrolment rates of women has been increasing, but the employment of women continues to be extremely low. This study further outlines the various reasons and barriers that affect women employability and subsequently put forward various policy measures to be taken up by the government to tackle this problem of women education as a limiting factor to their labor force participation.
