| Abstract : | |
| The impact of Self Help Groups (SHGs) on women empowerment is assessed based on the data collected from a sample of 1200 currently married women aged 15-29 years selected from each of the rural and urban areas of three different districts of Tamil Nadu. The results of both the univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis indicate that SHG is an independent and predominant factor in determining the empowerment status of women in both the rural and urban areas of Tamil Nadu. Education of women also emerged as an important determinant of women empowerment in both the rural and urban areas. The other significant factor influencing women empowerment in both the rural and urban areas is exposure of women to mass media. |
