| This book focuses on the importance of women’s entrepreneurship policy in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The book’s contributions demonstrate a link between the nature of policy implications, the various theoretical perspectives used, and whether scholars’ policy implications have transformed as the field of women’s entrepreneurship study has advanced. The book looks deeper into the reasons why there seems to be a big gap between formal women’s entrepreneurship legislation and actual business support services. What can be done to close policy and program gaps? What can government policy do to foster an entrepreneur-friendly environment? What level and form of government intervention in the economy should be to attain this goal? These issues have been hotly debated for a long time, and this book seeks answers to these questions. An institutional approach to analysing government policies is encouraged because macro-level regulations, social norms, and culture influence fostering women’s entrepreneurial activities. The book and its contributions draw on gender and institutional theory to recommend policy initiatives and measures to combat the lower entrepreneurship rates among the women population. Researchers and policymakers will benefit significantly from this book since it contains ideas for improving policy measures, the entrepreneurial ecosystem for women, and areas for further research. Women entrepreneurs have different motives and goals than men when starting a business. |
