Abstract: Abstract Focusing attention on the human capital of a society is crucial in achieving sustainable development. Women account for nearly half of this population and their empowerment improves the quality and quantity of human capital, which has a direct and indirect impact on growth and sustainable development. Globalization and knowledge components are among the factors influencing women's empowerment and have contributed to development. Thus, the present study was conducted to investigate the interaction between globalization (the three dimensions of globalization) and good governance and knowledge components (skills and human resources, information and communication technology, and innovation system) on women's empowerment in 50 selected countries during the period 2010–2018 using panel data techniques and generalized method of moments (GMM). According to the findings, the interaction between the dimensions of globalization and governance, as well as the knowledge components, indicated a positive and significant effect on women’s empowerment. Among the components of knowledge, skills and human resources, showed the most significant effects and the system of innovations were found to have the lowest impact on women’s empowerment.
