 note = {International Consortium for Asian Model of Well-being, This article aims to re-examine the measurability of empowerment through well-being aspects in both objective and subjective terms. The concept of empowerment has gained increasing importance in approaching various inequality issues. Among them, gender equality advocacy has adopted the empowerment approach most extensively. Despite its wide usage in attempting to improve women's disadvantageous status, the actual mechanism of empowerment is not fully understood, and much less established is the way to measure it in the empirical terms. In most cases, the measurement of empowerment is skewed to objectively verifiable assessment and evaluation. Drawing on a conceptual survey of the women's empowerment and its measurability, this article depicts characteristics of definitions and measures of empowerment and explores how concepts of objective and subjective well-being could contribute to solving certain difficulties in defining and measuring women's empowerment in a balanced manner. The analysis also employs a philosophical perspective in illustrating the characteristics of empowerment as a value and exploring its objective and subjective dimensions. This study suggests a possibility to supplement the existing evaluation methods of women's empowerment, by employing subjective well-being as an additional measure and by considering the dimension between objective and subjective well-being.},
