Summary
This paper is intended as a critical reflection on some recent attempts to construct indicators of women‘s empowerment, focusing in particular on the meanings given to these measures and values embedded within them. It starts out by offering a three-dimensional conceptual framework for thinking about women‘s empowerment:—resources “as part of the preconditions of empowerment;—agency “as an aspect of process; and—achievements “as a measure of outcomes.
It goes on to consider the ways in which these different dimensions have been measured by economists, demographers, sociologists and feminists. On the basis of this discussion a number of key methodological points are made, in particular, the need for triangulation of measures to ensure that indicators mean what they are intended to mean.
