Abstract :In this study the impact of globalization on women’s economic empowerment in Pakistan is examined which is a significant issue within the general debate of gender equality. To examine the impact of globalization on women’s employment with its economic, social, and political dimensions, a time series analysis is performed for the period between 1980 and 2020. The findings demonstrate that economic, social, and political globalization have varied influences on women’s employment. While economic globalization has a negative influence on employment in both the short and long term, social and political globalization has a negative effect at first but then becomes favorable. The level of development, gender norms, and data restrictions in Pakistan all contribute to these dynamics. While economic empowerment accelerates growth in the social, cultural, and political domains, further research into sectoral analysis and national efficiency components is required for a more complete understanding. Despite ongoing hurdles, Pakistan has made tremendous progress in increasing women’s labor-force participation since the 1990s. Policy reforms, empowerment programs, and gender-responsive trade agreements are critical for sustaining long-term and inclusive growth. Continuous education, legislative reforms, and efficient policy execution are essential for building a more fair environment for women.
