Measuring the effect of empowering women on alleviating poverty in Egypt

الملخص EN

This study measures the effect of empowering women on alleviating poverty in Egypt through a statistical structure model with liner regression equations to test this effect using panel data analysis.

The data were collected from the World Bank and human development reports through the period from 2000 to 2019 across 33 middle-income class countries.

This study focuses mainly on 3 dimensions of women`s empowerment: economic, social, and political empowerment.

The findings illustrate that there is a relationship between women`s empowerment (economically, socially, and politically), and poverty in Egypt.

Women`s empowerment economically, socially, and politically has a positive impact on alleviating poverty in Egypt.

Additionally, a rise in the poverty rate weakens women `s empowerment in Egypt.
