Present study investigates the impact of income inequality on women empowerment in the districts of Punjab, Pakistan. The data of income inequality, women empowerment and other variables of interest are taken from four waves of Multiple Indicators Cluster Survey for the period of 2008 to 2018. Three aspects including education, health and political participation of women have been considered in the measurement of women empowerment index. Fixed effect approach is applied for the empirical evaluation of data. The empirical outcomes show that a reduction in income inequality is significantly helpful to enhance women empowerment among all districts.
