Women Entrepreneurs in SMEs

Chapter 7 in SMEs in Asian Developing Countries, 2009, pp 185-219 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract As in other parts of the world, women’s entrepreneurship development in Asian developing countries has a great potential in empowering not only women but also the wider society in the region. Yet in many countries, especially where the level of economic development, as reflected in the level of income per capita and the degree of industrialization, is still low, this potential remains largely untapped. Sinha (2005, p. 1), for instance, observed that fewer than 10 percent of the entrepreneurs in South Asia, comprising Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka, were women.1
