Although often excluded from research on social and economic development, women’s empowerment has been an important factor. Women contribute to social and economic development as workers, mothers, and political actors; therefore, constructive discussions of social and economic development in the 21st century should include women’s empowerment as a key component. This study brings together a multidisciplinary committee of experts to examine the impact of women’s empowerment and associated population dynamics on social and economic development. The study will develop a comprehensive conceptual framework, review the current state of knowledge, critically assess policy options, and set an agenda for future research.
