Abstract

Socio-economic development is the phenomenon of the nineties, and the term became popular in the field of development, especially with reference to women. It has become a key solution to many social problems like high population growth, environmental degradation and low status of women. It is probably the totality of the following or similar capabilities: decision-making power of their own, access to information and resources for taking proper decision, ability to exercise assertiveness in collective decision making, positive thinking or the ability to make change, ability to learn skills for improving one's personal or group power, ability to change others’ perceptions by democratic means, economic participation, economic opportunity, political empowerment, educational attainment, and health and well-being.
