Abstract: Empowerment means to give an opportunity to strengthen someone’s position in the society. The women empowerment refers to weaken the inequalities to ensure equality without any discrimination of gender and create possibilities to enable women to attain skills for their progress. Socio-economic empowerment of women expounds the equitable prospects for women to enhance their capacity to bring change in their life. This procedure assists women to make choices, to develop compatibility with their social setting and alteration of their self-image. In this perspective education is the paramount factor to uplift womenfolk largely in underprivileged areas. Women access to education enhances their capacity and provides maximum opportunities for socio-economic growth. This research focuses on the prospects and challenges of the policies by Shahbaz Sharif’s government from 2008-2018 regarding socio-economic empowerment of women in South Punjab. Data is collected and analysed qualitatively.
