 Literature Review
Education enhances the decision-making power of women
towards their family regarding their decision and self-identity
as the male members are more likely to hold the manipulating
power. The increase of educational level is considered to be
the base for women empowerment. (Rezina and Mahmood
2016)
Though many factors affect the ability of women to take part
in the decision-making process in the household, education
plays a decisive role here. In socio-economic decision-making
level education motivates occupation, decision of sending
children to school and level of purchasing power. (Chanda
2016)
