Do different determinants affect differently across gender and location in handloom entrepreneurship development?

Abstract

Based on the primary data collected from 471 respondents, this paper analyses the determinants of entrepreneurship developments in the handloom industry in Assam separately for male versus female, and rural versus urban respondents. Work experience has a positive influence in the female entrepreneurship development while distance to the nearest business center has a negative influence. The gender effect is nullified in both the rural and urban entrepreneurship development. Work experience and education play a crucial role in entrepreneurship development in the rural areas compared to that in the urban areas. The study suggests for the development of rural handloom markets which will further develop the handloom micro-entrepreneurship.
