Unbalanced panel data for 22 low- and middle-income developing countries were adopted for the period (1995-2020), the ARDL model was used to estimate the impact of women’s economic empowerment and income distribution. The estimated model took into account, in addition to women’s economic empowerment, the impact of per capita GDP, population growth rate, and corruption as explanatory variables. The results showed that women’s empowerment, corruption perception index, and per capita gross domestic product had a significant positive impact, while population growth had a significant negative impact on income distribution.
