- Description
- The present study is an attempt to measure to what extent women in urban Bangalore feel empowered in critical areas such as educational achievement, economic opportunity, health and well-being, decision-making, and autonomy in all matters. Data analysis revealed that decision-making power in households and freedom of movement of women vary considerably with age, education, and employment. Very few women had the final say on how their earnings were spent. Control over cash earnings increased with age and education. The study also indicates that educational qualifications and access to employment are the essential factors that promote womenÔÇÖs empowerment, but the degree of achievement of the goal depends mostly on the attitude of the general population towards gender equality.

In the Indian parliament, only 14.36 % of elected representatives in the lower house (The Lok Sabha) are women in the year 2020. These statistics raise an important question on whether the efforts taken to empower women are yielding the intended results in terms of their equity in workforce and governance.
