MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This study aims to analyze the relationship between women’s empowerment and poverty, topics that are part of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. An analysis of Afghanistan is evaluated through Ordinary Least Square over a time period from 2005-2019, which presents that education and health are important factors in determining the level of development. Findings suggest that implementing certain types of programs empowers women and gradually alleviates poverty. This study does allow for a greater appreciation of women’s standing in terms of education, health, development, gender, and poverty, to achieve sustainable development in Afghanistan which is the core slogan of National Development Strategy 2020-2025.
