Journal Title: Journal of Economics, Finance and Management Studies - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 06
Abstract
Female entrepreneurship is an import factor not only in economic development but also in the realization of gender equality and social inclusion. This paper discusses women/female entrepreneurship, one of the most important socio-economic phenomena in the gender equality agenda. Purpose The purpose of the paper is to show cause for elevation of women entrepreneurship as an appropriate and effective response to gender discrimination more so considering the manner it empowers women and enhances social inclusion. Approach Through a desk-based approach, research has been conducted that entailed a strategy of searching some of the most common social and business databases using key words related to entrepreneurship in general and women entrepreneurship in specific. Findings Overall, it emerges (as presented herein) that women entrepreneurship is an appropriate and effective response to gender discrimination more so considering how it elevates women in society, empowers them economically, and ensures gender equality as well as broader social inclusion hence a more cohesive society. Limitation A notable limitation in the context of this paper is that most of the benefits uncovered (as contained in pertinent literature) mainly relate to the economic aspect, while it is known that there are other non-economic benefits of women entrepreneurship that deserve equal attention and discussion in the same respect. Practical Implications The paper gives insight as to what policymakers and other actors in the broader social movement need to do to empower women and improve their welfare in society, mainly by supporting and encouraging women entrepreneurship. Value The value of this piece is indisputable when the benefits of entrepreneurship are considered in unity.
