Empowering Change: The Role of Women Entrepreneurs in Poverty Alleviation in Developing Regions
Abstract
This study explores how female entrepreneurship contributes to poverty reduction in developing regions. With over 700 million people living on less than $2.15 a day, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America, poverty fuels cycles of exclusion and inequality. Entrepreneurship is presented as a pathway to economic empowerment. Women entrepreneurs, in particular, are key agents of social and economic development, reinvesting in families and communities. However, they face barriers such as limited access to finance, education, and legal protections. The research examines these challenges and highlights gaps in existing literature, which often overlooks the gendered experience of entrepreneurship. The study aims to assess women's impact at household and community levels and inform gender-responsive policies that align with the SDGs. It also addresses the limitations of data availability and focuses on developing nations.
