A Sociological Perspective On The Role Of Education Towards Women Empowerment

Abstract

Women's empowerment refers to the process of raising the economic, social, and political status of traditionally underprivileged women in society. The analysis was built on secondary data gathered from numerous official gazettes, surveys, and reports. According to the research, despite several government attempts, women continue to have lower social position and authority. Women's uneven gender norms are prominent across society. The study's key finding is that improvements in social structure, career possibilities, and educational access are required to promote women's empowerment.

In India, women's education is critical since it is the foundation for their freedom. Other benefits of education include reduced inequality, increased family status, and the development of the concept of participation.  The present research aims to better understand respondents' attitudes on women's education and if they believe education contributes to women's empowerment.  The paper also includes recommendations that it expects will help advance the cause of women's empowerment.
