520 |a Empowerment of women by means of income generating activities is a new orthodoxy in development discourse which signifies a paradigm shift from ' women in development' to 'gender and development' and subsequently to 'gender empowerment'. Education and health are the two important determinants of women's economic participation and thus have a powerful influence on their ability to control their environment and their lives. At the same time, education and health are also the two important areas in which persistent gender inequality exist. Taking the cue from Kerala's experience, this paper is an attempt to hypothesize that better achievements in the areas of education and health can lead to lesser degree of gender inequality and better prospects for women's economic participation. This in turn paves the way for greater gender development and better empowerment of women.
