| Description |
This study is an attempt to analyze the association between social, economic and demographic factors on the female teachers’ empowerment level. A cross?sectional data was generated following two stage random sampling. First 20 schools were selected then 189 respondents were randomly selected and interviewed. In this study rather than women’s age, age at marriage, work experience and husband’s education and occupation, women’s self achievement to earn more income, economic status and positive attitude towards job have positive influence in enhancing empowerment. This study underpins the importance of economic interventions to empower and uplift all round condition of women. Along with it this paper again stirs the most heated debate among the activist, academicians and service providers regarding appropriate intervention strategy for upliftment of women.Key words: Empowerment; Women; Economic; Social and demographic factors; PokharaEconomic Journal of Development IssuesVol. 11 & 12 No. 1-2 (2010) Combined IssuePage: 1-8Uploaded date: 10 April, 2012
