ABSTRACT
The main objective of women’s empowerment is to increase health, education and employment. It will not only improve their own opportunities, but also provide benefits for a new generation that will be healthy and educated. Women who participate in vocational training and employment and receive a regular income contribute to the country’s development. In developed countries gender discrimination is less and women’s socio-economic power is greater. As women’s level of education increases the age of marriage is later; fertility and child death rates decrease; healthier, well-fed and educated children increase; and participation in the labour force and the portion of women’s national income increases.
