Contextual Analysis of Female Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries
Abstract
This chapter examines female entrepreneurship in developing countries, highlighting barriers such as cultural norms, financial constraints, and limited education. Entrepreneurship often provides women a path to empowerment and economic growth, particularly where formal employment is restricted. Key themes include the impact of microfinance, government policies, and NGO support, while noting persistent challenges like patriarchal structures and underrepresentation in leadership. Regional variations reveal the importance of cultural and policy contexts. Although entrepreneurial activity among women is rising, many ventures remain small and necessity-driven. The review calls for longitudinal studies and greater attention to technology's potential, while addressing digital access gaps. It synthesizes current findings and identifies critical gaps, aiming to inform future research and policy efforts to better support women entrepreneurs in developing economies.
