Facilitating Factors for Women Entrepreneurship in India

B. Parimala Devi

Abstract: women entrepreneurship is an untapped source of economic growth in India, which has received scant policy attention so far. Entrepreneurship development among women is important for the achievement of broader development objectives such as growth with equity. Studies indicate that many women entrepreneurs are found working in difficult situations when compared to their male counterparts. Factors like political instability, poor infrastructure, high production costs and non-conductive business environment affect women entrepreneurs more than men. This paper aims to identify strategies and policies which could create an enabling environment for women entrepreneurs in India. It aims to provide a set of practical and policy-worthy recommendations to promote the healthy growth of entrepreneurial activities and enterprises owned by women.
