However, empowerment of women and gender equality are two vital issues of development process of any state and to achieve this gap between women and men in terms of capacities, access to resources and opportunities. The development theorists believed that a high level of human development would lead to empowerment of women and conversely highly empowered women would bring high level of human development through their contribution to the development process. This paper tries to examine the relationships between women economic empowerment and human development. Focus has been also made to analyze the factors that lead to the development of female status and increasing gender equality.
