Abstract:
Empowerment is a process which aimed at changing the nature and direction of systematic
method that marginalize women and other disadvantaged sections of the society. Empowerment
can serve as a powerful instrument for women to achieve social and economic mobility and
acquire power and status in society. The status of any section of population in a society is
intimately connected with its economic position. The development strategy which neglects
the need for enhancing the role of women cannot lead to comprehensive socio – economic
development. Globalisation has introduced enormous economic opportunities for women,
but they are associated with mounting threats. This paper will give an overview on the
economic empowerment of women and its impact on Tamilnadu.
