Abstract
In terms of this paper, economic empowerment occurs when women are employed in jobs which provide them with a good salary and/or the possibility of improving their economic status. The research examines employment, and personal and institutional characteristics that promote the entry of men and women into the labor force, as well as the ability of women to obtain better jobs once they enter. In particular the focus is on characteristics of women who become empowered and successful in the labor market. The paper provides results regarding key characteristics of those who transition from unsuccessful states into advantageous employment and self-employment.
