Abstract

The involvement and contribution of women in the development of the country is undeniable. Women are beginning to take steps to overcome challenges to ensure that their presence and talents are recognized. The purpose of this study was to analyse the roles of National Women Policy to encourage women participation and involvement in economic development in Malaysia. The method used in this study was documentary research by secondary sources and was presented by descriptive analysis. The government's determination to encourage women's participation in economic development in a more effective, systematic, and meaningful manner can be seen through several efforts. Many opportunities and assistance have been provided by the government either in the form of finance or skills upgrading courses. At the same time, some strategies have been developed to ensure that the gender, family, and community perspectives are integrated in policy formulation. Through this policy, the role of women in economic development has shown huge impact and is expected to increase the country's GDP.
