Chapter Chapter 6 in Women Entrepreneurs and Business Empowerment in Muslim Countries, 2022, pp 207-243 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract How do Muslim women become mompreneurs? This chapter focuses on the perceptions of younger Muslim women in Indonesia to explore what motivates them to or hampers them from becoming mompreneurs. This chapter shows becoming good Muslim mompreneurs following their role model of Khadijah is a way to balance work and family, and to make social contributions among middle-class women. The increased emphasis on entrepreneurship education at university and the rapid spread of digital marketplaces are further facilitating this social trend. Yet due to the need for an education and technological and digital competence to operate a business, the opportunity to become a mompreneur is largely limited to middle-class women.
