摘要：Background: Economic development indicates an increase in citizens’ quality of life, their opportunities, and their standard of living. Therefore, it is often measured using Human Development Index. It is also said that the empowerment of women significantly contributes to accelerate the level of human and economic development in a country. Objective: The study has aimed to assess the women’s role in economic development. Methodology: A broad-spectrum literature search was conducted from different libraries. Six articles have been finalized through rigorous scrutiny process. The articles, which are related with women empowerment, their health, education and fertility levels in the Middle Eastern region were included in the review. Results: There is considerable awareness of issues, faced by women; and improvements that are observed, but there is a lack of appropriate policy and action, particularly in the social inclusion of women and their presence in the business world. Proper recognition of women’s productive and reproductive roles is critical for more sustainable economic development. Conclusion: It is concluded that women have to challenge accepted social, political and economic frameworks followed globally to achieve sustainable and equitable development.
