This study aims to analyze the impact of mining activities and the empowerment of women on their involvement in household development. This involvement is perceived through the level of empowerment of women in household. Methodologically, an index of empowerment is designed from methods of inertia. Then, employability of women in artisanal mine is modeled from her characteristics. Finally, a logit model is established to measure factors impacting women's empowerment at household level. It emerges that the level of women's empowerment in her household increases as she earns an income of 60,000 FCFA and more per month. In addition, 66.21% of women are autonomous at household level. Therefore, it is appropriate to re-examine current conditions of employment of women, without favoring it in less risky or affordable work.
