Abstract

An important indicator of societal advancement, welfare, and women's empowerment is financial independence. The objective of this study is to determine the extent to which financial independence contributes to women's empowerment. A questionnaire was used to schedule interviews with 24 women employees who are involved in indirect labor in order to obtain data at random from primary sources. Simple tables, graphs, and factor analysis have been used to analyze the data to determine if they have achieved financial independence and are empowered as a result. Five factors were identified in order to explore their financial independence: personal, societal, institutional, the view of women's leadership abilities, and challenges related to women's empowerment. Among all the factors, women's leadership potential and institutions played a major role in their empowerment. Conversely, social and personal variables continued to be the least effective in preventing them from advancing in their careers, being financially independent, and feeling more empowered overall.
