Abstract
This project is focused on the impact of women empowerment on poverty reduction in Kogi state. This study assesses the following factors which may figure prominently in explanation of women’s increasing empowerment (1) social-economic development (2) rising gender equalization attitudes that transform economic development into cultural process of human development (3) historical legacies stemming from a society’s cultural and political traditions and (4) institutional design factors. This study compares the influence of these factors across some aspects of gender equality, gain in basic living conditions, participation in civic actions, the study urges that women in Nigeria would not benefit substantially from any poverty alleviation programme of the government without the development of their human capacity through formal education. This significant relationship between education and economic development and particularly to the income of individuals has never been in doubt.
