“…Urban Entrepreneurship is considered one of the vital strategies that directed cities toward self-control by reducing the unemployment rate and its arising problems, creating sustainable revenue and preparing the ground for women breadwinners (Galindo and Mendez, 2014). Gender equality and women empowerment are crucial in families where women are breadwinners (Patil and Deshpande, 2018). A comparison of such women's economic situation as compared to other households indicates that the level of welfare in the families provided by women is lower than the average (Cabrera and Mauricio, 2017;Qian, 2013).…”

“…Apart from variation in location, creativity is also found to lead to start-ups in urban areas, where the environment is not only more supportive but also more competitive, but not in rural areas (Liang et al, 2019). Women Breadwinners person who lives in the town is likely to get paid more to start a business than a rural person would, so the relative effect of income in urban areas is higher than in rural areas (Patil and Deshpande, 2018). In the case of education, if the low education group is the same between urban and rural areas, then the person who lives in rural areas moves to urban areas to get more various jobs.…”
