| Abstract: |
The aim of the present study was to assess the dynamic role of legal awareness by controlling the two extensively researched demographic variables (viz., education and age) in women's empowerment. A purposive sample of 272 women of reproductive age ranged between 21 and 49 years was selected from four cities of upper Punjab, Pakistan (viz., Lahore, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala, and Faisalabad) and a questionnaire on legal awareness (Batool, 2017) and Composite Women's Empowerment Index (CWEI: Batool, 2017) were administered. The hierarchical regression supported the hypothesized model that age, education, and legal awareness significantly predicted empowerment in women. The study recommends adding legal awareness in course curricula to empower women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
