A Study on Women Entrepreneurship—Its Management and Business Problems: An Overview

Abstract

Women entrepreneurship has been recognised as an important source of economic growth. Entrepreneurship happens to be one of the best ways towards self-sufficiency and poverty alleviation for women in a country where employment is not guaranteed. Involvement of women in entrepreneurial activities would ensure effective utilisation of labour, generation of income and hence improvement in standard of living. Initially, women have been confined to the private sphere of the household doing the daily works and tending to their families’ needs. Therefore, they have been denied access to the requisite resources for entrepreneurial entry access to capital, business and technical education, and prior management experience Though Indian women have played a key role in the society, their entrepreneurial quality has not been properly utilised due to lower status of women in society. An attempt has been made to study the necessity of women entrepreneurship in the study area and study the ways of overcoming the barriers of women entrepreneurship.
