Skill Development as a Catalyst for Women's Empowerment in India: A Comprehensive Analysis

Abstract

This paper offers a thorough analysis of the relationship between women's empowerment and skill development from an economic, social, and political standpoint. The review illustrates how skill development programs increase women's employability, earning potential, and entrepreneurial options, ultimately leading to economic empowerment. It does this by drawing on a broad range of empirical studies and theoretical frameworks. Learning new skills has been demonstrated to enhance women's social mobility, status, and the health and educational results that they and their families experience. Politically, skill development gives women the ability to take on leadership positions and actively engage in decision-making processes, which promotes more gender-sensitive governance. Notwithstanding these advantages, the research also finds enduring obstacles that prevent women from taking advantage of chances for skill development, including gender-based discrimination, restricted educational possibilities, and cultural norms.
