dc.description.abstractThis thesis explores the issue of women’s empowerment in Rwanda. It sheds light specifically on the issue of women’s access to paid work. In general, there is a scholarly scarcity of research that looks at the relationship between women’s access to paid work and their empowerment in the context of Rwanda. In particular, this thesis serves as a contribution in this regard and posits that employability of women in paid jobs is a contributor to their empowerment and societal growth. This work uses two case studies of women working in the Cooperative "Abahuzamugambi" (AKM) situated in the rural area and OCIR Café located in Kigali the capital of Rwanda. The sample constitutes of 48 respondents – namely 8 widows, 8 married women and 8 young girls from each of both cases. In order to collect empirical data, Focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews were carried out. These data collection methods aimed at exploring perceptions, attitudes and gather individual views of these women who are mostly illiterate and are often, less inclined of having alternatives in terms of access to paid jobs. The findings of this research suggest that the majority of women working in AKM and rural area were able to fulfill their needs soon after getting their job as compared to those of their category who remained in Kigali.;이 논문은 르완다 여성의 역량강화(Empowerment) 분석을 통해 여성의 임금 고용에 관한 이해를 높이고자 한다. 르완다의 특수 상황에 따른 여성의 임금 고용과 역량강화의 상관관계에 대한 학문적 연구가 거의 없다는 점을 고려할 때 이 연구는 큰 의미가 있다. 이 논문에서 저자는 Cooperative "Abahuzamugambi" 와 OCIR Café의 두 사례를 분석하여 여성의 임금고용이 그들의 역량강화와 사회적 성장에 공헌한다는 점을 밝히고 있다. 연구에 사용된 샘플은 각 기관에서 미망인 8명, 기혼 여성, 미혼 여성 8명, 총 48명으로 구성되어 있다. 자료 수집을 위해서는 포커스그룹 토론과 semi-structured 인터뷰 방법이 사용되었다. 자료수집의 목적은 대부분이 문맹이고 자신들의 임금 고용에 관한 대안을 갖고 있지 않은 이들 여성들의 관점, 인식, 태도를 분석하기 위함이었다. 연구 결과, 르완다 수도인 Kigali에 거주하는 여성들에 비해 AKM과 농촌지역에서 일하는 여성들 대부분이 그들의 직업을 통해서 그들의 욕구를 충족시킬 수 있었다는 점이 밝혀졌다.-
