Role of Women Entrepreneurship in Women Empowerment in India: A Quantitative Investigation

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between women entrepreneurship and women empowerment in India. In recent years, women's entrepreneurship has become an important topic for research and policy, particularly in emerging nations like India. Women business owners may advance gender equality and women's empowerment while simultaneously making a substantial contribution to economic growth and development. In India, where gender inequality is pervasive in many facets of life, encouraging female entrepreneurship can be a powerful strategy for empowering women and closing the gender gap. The findings suggest that women entrepreneurship can significantly contribute to women's economic and social empowerment, particularly in income generation, challenges, skill development, and access to resources and networks. The study's findings also have important implications for policymakers in promoting women entrepreneurship and addressing the barriers faced by women entrepreneurs, which could ultimately lead to greater gender equality and women's empowerment in India.
