Importance Of Women Empowerment

What is the importance of women empowerment for population manegment?



Empowering women usually involves giving them opportunity for better education. With that, fertility rates decrease, as well as infant mortality rates. Literate women have other opportunities in life other than marriage and motherhood, such as being part of the work force. Delaying marriage usually also means that women have less fertile years, which naturally decreases the number of children they can have. They are also better informed about family planning options, although it seems that religion plays a stronger part in this aspect other than simple literacy.

Literate women are more than another mouth to feed in poor families living in less developed countries. Instead of being seen as a liability, and therefore being married off as soon as possible, they can become a valuable asset to their families. Of course, at a personal level, empowerment gives women a chance to make their own choices, challenge the worthiness of old traditions, and to actually look for opportunities away from their families and villages.
