Data collection involved both primary and secondary data. In addition, data was edited and captured using SPSS .Frequencies and percentages were reflected with respect to each of the three research questions. The findings of the study indicates that women have participated in the economic activities that have led to an increase in income. Due to the availability of the income, they have accumulated wealth through savings, thus uplifting their standards of living. In addition, participation in economic activities have led to a rise in parameters of income like expenditure and consumption. In the recommendations, there is need to educate women on macroeconomic policies, incorporate the young women in economic activities that will enable the women earn income.
