| Tartalmi kivonat: | This study explored the profound impact of women's empowerment on household well-being,including health and nutrition, living conditions, and education. Utilizing data from the 2022 SudanLabor Market Panel Survey (SLMPS-2022), we restricted the sample to 4,267 married women toinvestigate the relationship between women's empowerment and poverty reduction in Sudan.Descriptive analysis revealed significant deprivations in education, nutrition, access to safe drinkingwater, and adequate sanitation facilities, within Sudanese households. Our findings demonstrate astrong positive correlation between women's empowerment and improved household well-being.Increased women's empowerment scores, women’s education, freedom to work outside the home,income autonomy, control over household purchases, and participation in decision-making, weresignificantly associated with increased household income and a simultaneous reduction in bothincome poverty and multidimensional poverty. Conversely, domestic gender violence and limitedparticipation in paid employment exerted a detrimental impact, significantly decreasing householdincome and increasing both income poverty and multidimensional poverty. In the main, our resultsunderscore the crucial role of women's empowerment in reducing income and multidimensionalpoverty in Sudan. To effectively enhance women's empowerment, the Sudanese government shouldprioritize investing in education, particularly by implementing nationwide school feeding programs,providing free primary education, and offering subsidies for secondary education to improveeducational outcomes and increase female literacy rates. |
