Opis

Women's entrepreneurship needs to be studied for two main reasons: 1. Women entrepreneurship has been recognized during the last decade as an important untapped source of economic growth. 2. The topic of women in entrepreneurship has been largely neglected both, in society in general and in the social science particular. They can create new jobs for themselves and others, also by being different. They provide society with different solutions like management, organization and solutions to business problems as well as the exploitation of entrepreneurial opportunities. The last decade has seen a growing importance of the term 'empowerment'. While term has been used for the poor and the deprived groups, it has now been used even more extensively with regard to women's programmes. As a matter of fact, most state governments now consider it desirable to offer women's empowerment programmes in order to alleviate poverty and to bring about women's development. Women's empowerment may be defined as a bottom-up process of transforming gender power relations, through individuals or groups developing awareness of women's subordination and building their capacity to challenge it.
