Economic empowerment strengthens a woman’s status in the family and has positive impact on her social and
psychological well-being. In order to improve the social status of women, it is crucial to explore and assess the
determinants of women’s economic empowerment. The present study empirically assessed the role of the use of
mobile phones in the economic empowerment of women at the household level by controlling two rigorously
researched demographic variables (viz., age and education). A sample of 302 non-working married women of age
ranged between 21 and 49 year (Mage= 27.34 year, S.D = 12.32) was conveniently selected from the four randomly
selected towns of city district Lahore (Pakistan).The control over economic resources was used as a women’s
economic empowerment variable. Hierarchical regression was run to measure the predictive strength of the use
of mobile phones in the economic empowerment of women by controlling age and education. The results
supported the hypothesis that the use of mobile phones was a positive and significant predictor of economic
empowerment of women after controlling women’s age and education. Implications of the study and policy
matters were also discussed.
