Motives Behind Higher Education in Married and Unmarried Women

Author(s): Dr. Gulnaz Khan

Abstract:

The present era has witnessed a revolution in education, especially with regard to women's education. There has been gender disparity in education down the ages and higher education has generally been the domain of males. In the post-Independence era, there was a growth in women's education but their enrolment in higher education sectors continues to be dismal. Since studies have found women's empowerment to be directly linked to higher education, the present research attempts to analyse the motives behind acquiring higher education in married and unmarried women and suggests solutions regarding how the imbalance can be redressed.
