Female economic empowerment symbolizes the process whereby women gain the ability to determine their choice to exercise their right to control and profit from the economic resources, assets, income as well as the ability to manage the risk and improve their economic status, sense of self worth, well being and are recognized for their paid – unpaid contribution in households, at work and in wider society along with influencing social change for themselves and the wider community. Economically empowered women make invaluable contribution to the improvement of health condition, educational status and productivity of whole families and community which improve the prospects for next generation. Women in India represent 29% of the labour force. Over 51% of female labour in India is unpaid; 95% is informal and unprotected. And the most startling fact – women spend 90% of their income on their families. Thus by giving women access to education, vocational skills, health services, protection by law, policies, say in leadership and taking decisions and quality formal work not only economically empowers them but also bring gender equality, and sustainable development of the country.
