Within the TVET institutional framework, the analysis is descriptive and questionnaire-based data from 178 TVET qualified women, by using three stage-stratified sampling techniques, are traced out in rural and urban areas/markets of Baluchistan. The factors like, self-employed, parents’ education, ethnicity, household head characteristics, rural and urban set ups, institutional affiliation, and self-choice for a specific TVET skill trade contribute to socio-economic and demographic empowerment of women.
