Author(s): Manisha Jana
Abstract:
This comprehensive study explores the pivotal role of education in national development and focuses on the transformative journey of women's education throughout history. Drawing on a qualitative document review approach, the research investigates the impact of women's education on economic development, social equity, and environmental sustainability. The results and discussions highlight the multifaceted benefits of women's education, including economic empowerment, improved family planning, and contributions to entrepreneurial activities. The correlation between women's education and GDP growth underscores its strategic importance in fostering inclusive and sustainable economic development. The study also delves into the barriers hindering women's education, such as sociocultural factors and economic constraints. Opportunities for improvement are identified, ranging from financial support programs to gender-sensitive curriculum development and empowerment initiatives. By addressing these opportunities, societies can enhance access, quality, and inclusivity in women's education, unlocking the full potential of individuals and contributing to broader societal development. Policymakers are urged to implement and enforce gender-sensitive policies that promote equality and allocate resources to support women's education, thereby breaking the cycle of gender inequality and fostering a more inclusive and sustainable future.
