SECTION 1
ECONOMICS
Economics is the social science that analyzes the production, distribution,
and consumption of goods and services. Political economy was the earlier
name for the subject, but economists in the late 19th century suggested
"economics" as a shorter term for "economic science" that also avoided a
narrow political-interest connotation and as similar in form to "mathematics",
"ethics", and so forth.

WOMEN'S
ECONOMIC
EMPOWERMENT
We often hear the term women’s economic empowerment in relation to
and sometimes interchangeably with – gender equality and women’s
rights. It seems therefore useful to discuss the goal of women’s
economic empowerment and how this links to women’s access to
meaningful work. Furthermore, how does this concept fit into a
larger scheme of achieving gender equality and advancing the
development of all of society?
If we define development in strictly material terms, then progress
is the result of income generation and economic growth working as
key instruments to lift the less developed world out of poverty and
into a state of prosperity. International policy born of such
definitions brings women’s rights into the equation in the name of
‘empowerment’. Slogans such as Gender Equality as Smart Economics
frames women’s ‘empowerment’ as a tool to advance this economic
growth. And such campaigns do enjoy success at the level of rallying
Government and private enterprise support for a ‘gender equality’
dimension to their development efforts. But does this definition of
‘empowerment’ have wider implications on women’s sense of identity,
on their concept of ‘work’, and on an overarching definition of
‘progress’? Does it neglect and even reinforce the underlying
injustice that we seek to eradicate? Our discussion on 'empowerment'
and how it links to gender equality, then, must be embedded in an
alternative vision of progress, one that values the role of justice
and principles in combating oppression.

WOMEN'S
EMPOWERMENT
PRINCIPLES
Empowering women to participate fully in economic life across all sectors
is essential to build stronger economies, achieve internationally agreed
goals for development and sustainability, and improve the quality of life
for women, men, families and communities.
The private sector is a key partner in efforts to advance gender equality
and empower women. Current research demonstrating that gender diversity
helps businesses perform better signals that self-interest and common
interest can come together. Yet, ensuring the inclusion of women’s talents,
skills and energies—from executive offices to the factory floor and the
supply chain—requires intentional actions and deliberate policies.
The Women’s Empowerment Principles offer practical guidance to business and
the private sector on how to empower women in the workplace, marketplace and
community. Developed through a partnership between UN Women and the United
Nations Global Compact, the Principles are designed to support companies in
reviewing existing policies and practices—or establishing new ones—to realize
women’s empowerment.
In brief, the Principles are:
1. Establish high-level corporate leadership for gender equality
2. Treat all women and men fairly at work—respect and support human rights
and nondiscrimination
3. Ensure the health, safety and well-being of all women and men workers
4. Promote education, training and professional development for women
5. Implement enterprise development, supply chain and marketing practices that
empower women
6. Promote equality through community initiatives and advocacy
7. Measure and publicly report on progress to achieve gender equality
