Rethinking Development: A Contextual Discussion on Women's Entrepreneurship and Structural Barriers
Abstract
This research explores women's entrepreneurship as a key driver of poverty reduction and socioeconomic change in developing countries. It highlights how opportunity and necessity push women into business amid limited jobs and support. Barriers like cultural norms, legal inefficiencies, and financial exclusion restrict women's access to training, markets, and capital. Women respond through social capital, NGOs, online communities, and local networks. The study challenges Western models, emphasizing the need for gender- and context-sensitive approaches that recognize informality and intersectionality. It shows entrepreneurship as a path to empowerment, community development, and inclusive growth, and calls for policy reforms to foster digital inclusion and support scalable, culturally relevant models.
