Empowerment is now increasingly seen as a process by which the one�s without power gain greater control over their lives. This means control over material assets, intellectual resources and ideology. It involves power to, with and power within. Some define empowerment as a process of awareness and conscientization, of capacity building leading to greater participation, effective decision-making power and control leading to transformative action. In this paper we use Fuzzy Cognitive Maps to analyze the standard of living to empower women with decision making power over their work and income which in turn promotes happiness.
