Title A name given to the resource WOMEN ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT: ITS PROSPECTS AND LIMITATIONS: A CASE STUDY OF HARARE METROPOLITAN PROVINCE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TANAKA MOREJOY MANGO BARBARA MBUYISA Description An account of the resource This study investigated the prospects and limitations of women's economic empowerment in Harare, Zimbabwe, focusing on the experiences within the Harare Metropolitan Province. Employing a case study design, this research utilised qualitative data gathered through semi- structured interviews and questionnaires with women engaged in various economic activities. The study examined the complex interplay of factors influencing women's economic agency, including decision-making authority, access to resources, and sociocultural barriers. The findings revealled that while women in Harare demonstrated significant entrepreneurial drive and resilience, they continued to face challenges such as limited market access, discriminatory practices, and the double burden of work and domestic responsibilities. The study underscored the need for integrated interventions that addressed both economic and socio-cultural constraints to achieve meaningful women's economic empowerment. Recommendations included policy reform, targeted support programmes, and awareness campaigns to challenge gender stereotypes. This research contributed to a deeper understanding of the local dynamics shaping women's economic participation in urban Zimbabwe and highlighted the importance of context-specific approaches to promote gender equality and sustainable development.
