Abstract :
This study examines the impact of financial literacy and financial inclusion on women’s empowerment, since it is crucial for gender equality and sustainable development. This research method involves collecting primary data through questionnaires distributed to a sample of housewives who live in West Java. Secondary data is also used to support the analysis. Variables analyzed include women’s financial literacy, planning, decision-making, crisis, financial inclusion, and women empowerment. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. Findings will shed light on the role of financial literacy and inclusion in women’s empowerment, aiding policy efforts to enhance access to financial services and increase women’s economic participation.
