don't get a file name like that using ls -1 and print column 9. if you have spaces in the file name , you will not get the correct file name. Use find instead, then something to count inside each directory. Pseudocode

Code:
find . -type d | while read DIR
do
   var=`ls $DIR | wc -l `
   if var is 0  then echo "empty" fi
done
