EXPLORING THE DYNAMICS OF INTERPERSONAL EMPOWERMENT AMONG WOMEN

Abstract

Men and women perceive various facets of life differently across diverse contexts, and these distinctions have become increasingly evident due to notable transformations in women's lifestyles. Interpersonal empowerment helps individuals in enhancing their skills and capabilities to reach their objectives. This may include offering resources, tools, and fostering a supportive atmosphere. Although women often report higher levels of social support compared to men, their income can significantly decline following a divorce. The sense of interpersonal connection enhances social support, which tends to provide a more substantial buffering effect for women, while work-related support is generally more pertinent for men, and familial support is typically more significant for women. Women who manage the demands of work alongside family responsibilities, including caring for both elders and children, generally experience relatively few adverse effects despite their numerous obligations.
