on the socio-economic development of women. Through a descriptive research design incorporating both quantitative and qualitative data, the study investigated specific objectives including the effect of access to education, women empowerment, equal financial inclusion, equal work distribution, and equitable access to resources. A sample size of 158 women aged 21 and above was selected, and regression analysis was employed for data processing. The findings revealed significant positive effects of gender balance factors on socio-economic development. Access to education, women empowerment, equal financial inclusion, equal work distribution, and equitable resource access demonstrated respective effects (β1=0.207, p= 0.003 < 0.05; β2=0.294, p= 0.000< 0.05; β3=0.377, p= 0.000<0.05; β4=0.819, p= 0.000<0.05; β5=0.229, p= 0.000<0.05). Each 1% change in these factors led to changes in socio-economic development. All specific objectives were achieved, and hypotheses (H01, H02, H03, H04, and H05) were rejected. Recommendations include encouraging women in Tumba sector to pursue initiatives for their socio-economic advancement, advocating for gender-responsive policies at the local government level, implementing skills training and capacity-building programs for women, conducting awareness campaigns to challenge gender stereotypes, and establishing a monitoring and evaluation framework at the national level to track progress in gender balance and socio-economic development.
