Empowerment of Women through Education and its impact: An Evaluation of the Literature review

Education is the foundation of empowerment. It plays a critical role in Women's social development and Economic Empowerment. With strong educational backgrounds, women can develop the ability to achieve their goals and create financial freedom for both themselves and their families. Education empowers girls and enhances employment opportunities, improves their ability to make decisions and perform better in their social and family lives. Education only possess the unique power to act as a catalyst to achieve and expand our goals and this can be accomplished only if it is equitable in nature. It benefits women by rendering better health conditions, improved participation in decision making process, economic, political and social involvement.

In this paper, an attempt is made to review the literatures on the socio and economic status of women acquired through education. An aggregate of 33 articles and reports from various journals, related contents from 14 books have been reviewed for the study. Somewrite-ups published in distinguishednewspapers were also considered for analysing the importance attached to the topic. After reviewing the related literature, I have also classified the approach used in these studies into Exploratory, Descriptive, Comparative, Explanatory, and Empirical as well correlational analysis. Based on this certain issues that can be given attention for future research in this area: Influence of socioeconomic background on education among women with special reference to demographic and status characteristics, If Education has helped to increase confidence, communication, capabilities and learning skills among women in order to overcome gender disparity, Education has improved family relations and decision making process and able to attain social security, Poor localities of residents and inequalities of social class is the main reasons, Customary gender norms and values are added reasons.
