Women Entrepreneurs in Emerging Markets for Driving Economic Growth

Abstract

The chapter reviews the potential role women entrepreneurs in emerging markets can play in contributing towards economic growth. It looks at challenges and opportunities unique to female entrepreneurs surrounding access to finance, socio-cultural barriers, and regulatory environments. The chapter also spotlights case studies of women-led businesses that have had significant impacts on fostering innovation, job creation, and furthering sustainable development. The chapter proceeds with an analysis of varied policy frameworks and support systems to offer insights on how interventions targeted at women's entrepreneurial activities can be improved. It is also speaking to the broader implications of women's economic empowerment on community development and regional stability. The findings therefore underscore the need to nurture an all-inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem that recognizes women as pivotal drivers of economic development in emerging economies.
