Abstract

The process of giving women the tools and opportunities they need to assert their rights, take part in decision-making, and take charge of their lives is known as women empowerment. It is a critical issue in today's modern world, which tries to strengthen women's economic, social, and political power. Therefore, this study aims to assess the effect of ICT, education, and employment on women's empowerment in Pakistan. To this end, we have employed binary logistic regression analysis. The outcomes indicated that ICT, education, and employment positively influence women's empowerment in Pakistan. This study contributes to policy making. Therefore, through effective public policies, women's access to ICT should be improved. Moreover, the government of Pakistan should introduce more excellent and improved educational prospects for women. Employment opportunities should also be provided at the national level.
