From Microfinance to Middle Class?
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
9781783476374 (ISBN)
Chapters show how good intentions do not necessarily translate into inclusive, effective female entrepreneurship programs. They highlight how corruption, discrimination, and legal failures impact women in business, discussing practical approaches to address diverse challenges such as unequal access to finance, digital literacy, and professional networks. Tonia Warnecke presents a framework for designing gender-sensitive programs, illustrating its application to female entrepreneurs in the informal sector. The book highlights the leadership of social enterprises in generating decent work opportunities for women, and considers the interrelationship of gender equality and environmental sustainability.
An important guide for academics and students in entrepreneurship, development studies, and gender studies, this book is also a valuable tool for government agencies, corporations, and other organizations seeking to implement female entrepreneurship programs.
