Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This article discusses the impact of education on the economic independence of Minangkabau women. Education plays a crucial role in providing women with access to the skills and knowledge needed for entrepreneurship. In the context of the matrilineal Minangkabau culture, improved education can strengthen women's positions in the economy. This article identifies the positive impacts of education, such as enhanced skills, legal awareness, and access to social networks. However, challenges such as cultural norms and limited access to education still persist. In conclusion, to improve women's economic independence, collaborative efforts are needed among the government, society, and educational institutions to overcome existing barriers.
