Additionally, foreign aid, globalization, have played a significant role in improving the socio-economic conditions of Afghan women. The main objective of the current study is to investigate women's socioeconomic conditions in Afghanistan. This research employs the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) modeling approach within the EViews 12 software environment to elucidate the pivotal relationships between predictor variables and the dependent variable.

This research findings reveal that globalization has a significant, positive long-term impact on the socioeconomic conditions of women in Afghanistan.
