Abstract	Women empowerment is crucial for achieving gender equality and sustainable development. This paper aims at assessing economic empowerment of women in the North-east region (NER) of India and also highlights differences of economic empowerment of women among the eight NER states. The study is based on data available from the National Family and Health Survey (NFSH-4) 2015-16. The study shows that gender disparity exists in all the states of NER, starting from employment to household purchase related decision making, house and land ownership, control on own earning etc. This disparity in economic aspects of women empowerment needs to be addressed to promote economic empowerment of women and to foster sustainable development in the region.
