Women Empowerment

From the mid-eighteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, the British Industrial Revolution was an era when we greatly gave the status of women of the middle class and the lower class. Both levels of women are suffering from stereotypes and inequalities between men and women. Low level women working in the factory are far more abused than men and salary is cheap. Middle-class women are lazy and are expected to be ignorant of their husband's work. This prejudice made women more conscious of inferior positions in society and caused frequent feminist movement.

Since the 1980s, the term "empowerment of women" became common in the field of development. It is clear that improving the status of women is essential for sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction in developing countries. (Chaudhary, 2009). Women's "empowerment" is a common goal of development intervention. However, although there are numerous documents that discuss ways to evaluate empowerment of women, there are still great difficulties. (Mosedale, 2005). Improving the status of women is the core of human development. Human development is the process of expanding people's choice of half of humanity. Targeted actions intended to rectify women's empowerment of social and economic share and social and political rights and gender inequality should be made at the same time as efforts to gender the development process It will not. (A. Sangamithra, 2008)

Improving women's status is one of the major challenges in modern development policy in developing countries. Improving women's status is a complex and multifaceted process that requires multivariate analysis. The main purpose is to use the regression data of southern Punjab for regression analysis to determine the possibility of women's empowerment. Considering its multifaceted nature and aspects, cumulative women 's empowerment index has been established. It includes four different indices, individual autonomy, family decision making, domestic economic decision making and political autonomy. The analysis is based on urban, rural and tribal areas
