Gender gaps in women’s’ economic opportunities—labour market and entrepreneurship—have remained high in India.
According to an IMF report (Sep 2018) study showed that in India entrepreneurship remains critical to harness the economic potential of women and thus, achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs) by 2030.
Female entrepreneurs are considered important for economic development and make a significant contribution to Indian Economy (IFC, 2014). Despite the economic importance of female entrepreneurs , their numbers still lags behind that of male entrepreneurs.
Challenges
Entrepreneurship is a tough path to tread even for the experienced but it is even more tougher for women.. For women these problems gets compounded as they are burdened with another set of problems stemming from the societal biasness in a male dominated society.
