Women's economic empowerment: a mechanism to enhance the economic well-being of the Iraqi family (teachers at Salah al-Din University - Erbil) as a model

Abstract

The study analyzed the economic empowerment of women at the University of Salah al-Din using the inductive approach for the year 2022. It relied on a sample to obtain the required data. The problem of the study lies in the following questions: What is the impact of the economic empowerment of women on enhancing the economic well-being of the families of female teachers at the University of Salah al-Din? The study concluded that there is a positive effect on the economic well-being of the families of female teachers at Salah al-Din University - Erbil. And that most female teachers spend part of their monthly salary on buying household items for their families. And most of the female teachers at the University of Salah al-Din obtained a certificate and scientific title in order to obtain their independence in income from the family. Based on the conclusions, we recommend the following: Educating female teachers on the need to cooperate with their husbands in private family spending to meet the basic needs of families in light of the continuous rise in inflation rates. As well as working to raise the cultural level of female teachers, especially in the economic, social, and political fields, by holding scientific conferences and seminars on the economic empowerment of women. In order to communicate in scientific research, we suggest conducting a similar study on the universities of the Kurdistan Region - Iraq, within the framework of master's and doctoral studies.
