Abstract

Migrant women entrepreneurs make significant contributions to sustainable economic and social development, often balancing family responsibilities with innovative ventures. In both Latin America and North America, they face challenges such as cultural adaptation, systemic barriers, and credential recognition, yet consistently demonstrate resilience and resourcefulness. Their businesses span local services, technology, and social enterprises, blending global perspectives with local market needs to foster creativity and green innovations. Community networks, mentorship, and alternative financing are vital in supporting their growth. However, financing constraints, limited access to mainstream networks, and persistent policy gaps remain pressing issues in the Latin American region. By embedding social impact and sustainable practices into their ventures, migrant women entrepreneurs not only create livelihoods but also strengthen the socially conscious entrepreneurial ecosystem in driving regional economic growth and sustainable developments.
