If an earning woman is not allowed to use her bank account what does it indicate?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Gender inequality in economic control
Earning an income is only one part of economic empowerment; the ability to access and use one’s income and bank account is also essential. Preventing a woman from operating her account shows gender-based inequality in control over financial resources and decisions. Option B is incorrect because full economic empowerment includes independent access to and decision-making over financial resources. Exam tip: Distinguish between earning income and having control over income.
