Impact of Education on Women’s Empowerment Through Employment and Social Outcomes: Evaluation on Current Policies and Strategies for Enhancement

Abstract

Countries implement female education promotion to address gender inequality in education, which affects careers and social outcomes. Tertiary education has a positive impact on women’s economic strength, including increased employment and asset ownership rates. Higher participation in STEM education also leads to greater performance in employment, especially in decision-making positions. According to policy analysis, countries should continue enforcing policies that encourage female education while adopting novel strategies that aim to eliminate gender discrimination and overcoming financial barriers. Moreover, a higher level of education tends to improve women’s social welfare since the rate of death and violence decreases. Further research in other indicators, such as family background, would help in understanding social obstacles faced by women and establishing effective solutions.
