“…Recent studies pointed to the discrimination perpetrated against women by Multi-National Corporations MNCs through exploitation and exposing them to meager wages (Khan & Bhat, 2022;Rubin et al, 2021). Male-dominated society has the tendency to neglect girlchild education which might result in women who lack education and vocational skills due to repression denying them progression and thereby compelling them to accept low wages due to a lack of job opportunities (Khan & Bhat, 2022;Gallo-Cruz, 2021;Adeosum & Owolabi, 2021). A similar study found that women work more unpaid hours than males do in many nations, and they have fewer opportunities to use education and skills to escape poverty (Orkoh et al, 2022).…”

The major goals of women's empowerment are to improve earnings, the standard of living and to enable them to use the resources at their disposal to make decisions that will benefit their households and societies. As such, the socioeconomic empowerment of women is significantly captured in the Sustainable Development Goals SDGs of the United Nations UN. The purpose of the study is to look at women's education, capabilities, decision-making power, access to financial resources, control over household resources, and ability to mobilize for economic rights to enable them to participate in the economic life of the household and the community in a sustainable way. Considering the research questions and recent past publications, this systematic review included relevant literature on socioeconomic empowerment from 2015 onwards. Both direct and summative qualitative content analysis research approach is used. Google Scholar was used as a tool to acquire relevant data from the significant databases made available by Elsevier, Emerald, Sage, Tailor and Frances, Springers, and ProQuest among others. The review of relevant literature found that the importance of the sustainable socioeconomic empowerment of women makes it an essential development intervention and a constituent of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It also discovered the necessity of prioritizing women's safety when creating programs for socioeconomic empowerment and closely observing the possibility of conflict and violence within households. It revealed themes of socioeconomic empowerment intervention for women to include labour force participation, agro-based entrepreneurship, and financial inclusion. These interventions are geared toward the improvement of participation in leadership and decision-making for sustainable empowerment. Therefore, the study suggests conducting a case study to examine culturally appropriate tactics that can be most effective in giving women economic empowerment in the conventional cultural and economic framework that is dominated by men.

“…With the advent of globalization and trade liberalization, women living in extreme poverty not only have largely been neglected in social policies instituted by governments but, simultaneously have been enduring blatant discrimination at the hands of MNCs (multi-national corporations), which exploit women by imposing on them low wages. Lack of education and vocational skills combined with social repression of women in male-dominated societies that erect impenetrable glass ceilings stymieing the ability of women to move forward, drives poverty among women forcing women to accept meager wages in the face of scant employment opportunities to move forward (Adeosum and Owolabi, 2021; Gallo-Cruz, 2021). India is a well-known example where women beset by these limitations face the brunt of poverty (Besley and Burgess, 2003).…”

PurposeThis study investigates the effectiveness of microfinance-backed entrepreneurship as a mechanism for the holistic empowerment of women.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs a mixed-method research-design consisting of quasi-experimental design (quantitative approach) involving women, both entrepreneurs (132) and non-entrepreneurs (238), as well as in-depth semi-structured interviews (qualitative approach).FindingsQuantitative analysis revealed that female entrepreneurs are better off than female non-entrepreneurs in terms of economic, social, political and psychological indicators of empowerment. However, relatively lesser impact was found in terms of political, and to an even smaller extent, social empowerment of women. Analysis of in-depth interviews corroborated these findings confirming that entrepreneurship serves as an effective tool for the holistic empowerment of women. However, non-entrepreneurs also exhibit social empowerment.Research limitations/implicationsGiven the restricted geographical ambit of the study, prudence ought to be exercised in drawing inferences applied to alternate contexts. That the vast majority of questionnaire respondents are illiterate presented a notable impediment in the process of collection of accurate responses.Practical implicationsMicrofinance intervention ought to be specifically directed to cultivating entrepreneurship among women; in particular, to achieve the full benefits of empowerment, women availing microfinance ought to exert full control over their own business ventures.Originality/valueIn analyzing holistic empowerment through microfinance supported businesses set up by women, the study adds to the existing literature on women entrepreneurship and empowerment.
