Gender – From Variable to Lens in Social Enterprises: A Literature Review and Research Agenda for Women’s Involvement in Social Ventures

Abstract

The link between gender and social enterprises remains relatively under-researched. In this paper, through a systematic review of 41 peer-reviewed articles published between 2002 and 2017, we provide a broad examination of women’s involvement in social enterprises. Our review helps mapping and categorising this emerging theme by clustering existing contributions in two topics drivers and outcomes. As a result, several research gaps are singled out, inducing to new theoretical and methodological suggestions where gender lens is the context and research locus.
