We can't neglect the importance of education in reference to women empowerment. It also brings an efficient reduction in inequality and functions as a means of improving their status within the family. One of the most important factors that influence the women empowerment level is the level of education of the family.

Only the educated family can recognize the importance of woman in the management of the family and can respect her decision making, whereas, a family with lesser education level might not fully appreciate women's decision-making ability. The present study explores the role of education in women empowerment and to see the impact of family education level on the level of women empowerment. It is also a target of the study to evaluate the impact of the level of women's own education on her level of empowerment. Keywords: Education, Women Empowerment, Family management.
