RUNNING HEAD; WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
The topic I am selecting in this course study is women
empowerment. The research question that
this paper will address is the impact of educational attainment
on women's empowerment in the
economic discipline. The topic and the research question matter
7. to society because education on
women and preparedness to work provides access to a vast
opportunity on labour boosting
economic growth. Women having a chance to work may have an
effect that can include better
production and increased incomes. Because of inception, women
have been considered to Play
undeniably valuable duties towards economic development.
Despite standing beside men, their
humanity has proven from their determination and hard work.
Despite their efforts to make a
better living and a better world, they have been oppressed for
their fundamental rights, and
society viewed them as inferior citizens. Many programs are
channelled to women's needs and
their environment. The roadmap is to take steps that explain
policy and programs that entail
feasible options to women. This is more likely to influence
women's success by examining how
social and economic background affects success.
One of the measures involves business and credit management
tutoring women with small and
medium businesses. Being micro-entrepreneurs can significantly
impact critical outcomes like
8. revenues, profits, and employment. Women entrepreneurs can
replace business advisors, identify
weaknesses, plan, and make innovations that increase profits
and gains within the economy.
Another intervention is providing women with quality,
accessible and affordable childcare for
wage labourers. This support on women provides a gap that
enables women to participate and
contribute to growth that recognizes the value of their
contributions to the economy, respect
women's dignity, and allow fair distribution of economic growth
benefits (Nassani, A. A.2019).

RUNNING HEAD; WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
This increases women's access to economic resources and
chances, including job opportunities,
market information, and financial services.
Education on women has become more beneficial because
literacy levels have tended to evaluate
whether one can read or write. Literacy can define the status of
a woman, but t with education,
9. women can develop confidence among themselves. In the
current world, women do not have the
confidence to take a step and claim their entitlements.
Empowerment might only be achieved if
women realize that it is valuable to be empowered to enjoy
happy and fair life. Education
provides a broad sense that includes opening the mind-
enhancing self-esteem and self-
confidence. With women acquiring knowledge, they will
negotiate with the unequal world from
a strong position (Yaya, S.2018). Women have to be recognized
as an essential human resource
and a solid commitment to equip women with the required
managerial skills to empower them in
making decisions.
Women in the economy have substance benefits. Developed
countries with a balance of women
and men in the workplace have tremendous economic growth,
stability and innovation. The firm
with a more substantial ratio of women in leadership,
workforce, and management outsmarts
those firms with a low turnover on women employment.
Significant employment opportunities
between men and women in an organization are more likely to
10. cause conflicts and involve the
country in a violent conflict. The nations that give women equal
opportunities are more likely to
establish development and thrive peacefully. Women in the
economy are best considered to
understand consumers’ needs and get better insights on the type
of products to design and create.
Women empowerment in the economy can lead to a more global
vision in purchasing the market
and identifying opportunities to increase sales. Women improve
their living standards from their
hard work despite them down looked by the male gender.

RUNNING HEAD; WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Establishing an educative program that aims at empowering
women and girls will help address
issues cutting across the economy allows women and girls to
participate in society entirely.
Women and girls' empowerment programs involve steps that are
more integrated and addresses
women’s experiment in the economy, evading barriers like
conflicts and gender-based violence
11. that brings insecurities to women. These programs must have a
goal of strengthening society's
opportunities to support women's economic empowerment. A
society with educated girls leads to
female leaders increasing and lowers the level of the population
growing, therefore, reducing
pressures that are concerning change in the climate.
Promoting women participation in the economy makes gender
equality an intelligent economy.
Participation of women in the economy equips them with
knowledge, promotes productivity in
the agricultural sector, and enhances management in the
economy and investment in returns.
Women investment meant yields multiple effects. A more
significant percentage of women have
the norm of reinvesting large portions of their salaries in the
community and their families. They
are also vital to stable and peaceful societies, which is an
essential factor to economic growth.
Financial inclusion to women will help support the efforts kept
by women in accessing quality
financial services that involve credits and savings. Women's
valuable role in advancing
12. agriculture and food security development encourage supportive
programs for female farmers
and agricultural enterprises owned by women. Polices also need
to be advocated and programs
that offer solutions to enable women to participate in the
economy, including reforming practices
that limit women from accessing capital, inheritance rights and
land tenure ( Ahuru, R. R.2021)
Counterarguments on women empowerment in education to the
economy hurt firms through
unfairness. People tend to adapt to the fairness system
favouring one party involved. Treating

women fairly will enable them to access and reach more
opportunities. Making them feel that
they belong to a particular group drives them to join it.
Mistreating them and making them feel
13. they are not part of a particular group discourages them from
reaching new opportunities.
Unfairness leads to more rejection, and women being placed in
places to make them better
executives most likely portray that they cannot reach certain
levels.
Despite the unfair treatment being about women, unfair
treatment can hold back any team in the
short run. It discourages and creates indignation with members
of the groups holding themselves
back in the long run. The labour markets take their way by
splitting due to them avoiding the
career paths due to unfair treatment with the firms having a lot
of positions to be filled by the
increasingly less talented applicants. Evil invaders should not
be empowered in space. Women
who are discriminated against in the workplace can experience
mental health due to stress, with
most of them encountering substance abuse issues (Dadi,
D.2021). While others become so
confident in asserting their rights that lead to equal treatment,
others become more fearful in
taking action and experience struggle that is often affected by
factors such as woman's duty in
14. the company.
Many existing arguments on empowering women make women
feel separated from the group
they feel in despite being traditional. These traditional
arguments assume that women are too
weak too emotional and that empowering women goes against
the natural rule of how things are
in order. These can also be against the divine rules that have
been ordained by God wanting
women to occupy. Even if there exists a God who does not want
women to perform some takes
that women are proving themselves they are capable of doing all
of these display that God is not
that worth of everyone devotion. There being no argument for
believing that the earth is flat, it is
5
RUNNING HEAD; WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
sure that it appears there is no better argument to deny women
the power and the responsibility
that men are given.
With women attempting to advance their careers and climbing
the corporate ladder, unfairness
15. encounters their progress. Women are to be acknowledged in
their progress, which brings a form
of biasness that limits their career options. From childhood,
skilled women place their families
regarding their profession and plan their living while men move
around supporting their families
by career advancement. With this gender equality, women are
kept In a position of fighting
human nature. Women's lack of belief hinders them from
accessing many job opportunities with
this gender acknowledged as bias with it seen as a form of
blaming the victim with a semblance
of empowering her.
In conclusion, women have the voice and right to fight for
better employment opportunities in
the market. We all need to accept women’s viewpoints and raise
their status through training,
education and creating awareness. Empowering women equips
and provides an opportunity to
make life-determining decisions through different societal
challenges. They need opportunities to
reformulate the gender roles, which results in more freedom to
pursue their desired goals.
16. Policies must be developed effectively and taken to accord
women with fairness and equal
chances to prevent sexual violence against women and other
citizens of the same victim. The
policymakers need to support training n jobs to enter the formal
market. It is recommendable for
policymakers to provide more formal education opportunities to
women to enable high
bargaining power at homes. This will make them have high
wages outside their homes and make
it easier for women to access job opportunities in the market.
