India's higher education system is the third largest in the world, next to the United States and China. In the post-independence era, the higher education system in India has evolved remarkably. Higher education is an essential tool for the formation of human capital as it enhances the productivity and efficiency of the workforce. Higher education aspires to develop knowledge, stimulate analytical thinking, and impart skills appropriate to the modern competitive world. Traditionally the patriarchal mindsets of the Indians restricted women's activities to the household level. Though women constitute half of the population in India they are overlooked and treated as inferior to men. Though women's participation in economic activities is increasing in the district much attention is needed to further improve their lives. Higher education is one such instrument to empower women and enable them to lead better lives. Higher-educated women contribute to the socioeconomic advancement of society.
The current study is based on the primary and secondary data collected in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka. The author surveyed 200 higher-educated employed women and 100 higher-educated unemployed women, respectively. Economic empowerment is judged based on the Likert scale of respondents’ responses on various parameters of empowerment. The mean and standard deviation are used to analyze the data. The primary objective of the study is to study the enrolment of women in higher education institutions in the Dakshina Kannada district and identify the role of higher education in the Economic empowerment of women.
