abstract: 'There has been a growing level of interest in female entrepreneurship in
|
||||
|
||||
recent years. Initially, there was an awareness of the lower
|
||||
|
||||
participation of women than men in the creation and growth of new
|
||||
|
||||
enterprises. More recently, there is recognition that female
|
||||
|
||||
entrepreneurship can have a positive impact on economic prosperity. This
|
||||
|
||||
paper looks at female entrepreneurship in a rural area, as well as their
|
||||
|
||||
motivation for starting a business and their attitude towards growth.
|
||||
|
||||
Entrepreneurs start a business for a variety of reasons, such as making
|
||||
|
||||
money, flexible working hours, others may want to employ family members
|
||||
|
||||
or feel they have no other option. It can be difficult to start a
|
||||
|
||||
business in any circumstance yet there is evidence that some groups may
|
||||
|
||||
find it more difficult. Women in particular, may face additional
|
||||
|
||||
problems starting a business. Access to resources, including finance,
|
||||
|
||||
skills and access to markets, may be more difficult for some females.
|
||||
|
||||
One of the reasons given by the EU (2002:3) for promoting female
|
||||
|
||||
entrepreneurship is that they are a source of `economic growth and new
|
||||
|
||||
jobs'' and that the barriers they face in setting up and running a
|
||||
|
||||
business must be tackled. There is an understanding that entrepreneurs
|
||||
|
||||
in general make a contribution towards economic growth, mainly in terms
|
||||
|
||||
of job creation but also in terms of innovation. Therefore, if the
|
||||
|
||||
numbers of entrepreneurs can be increased by bringing the levels of
|
||||
|
||||
female entrepreneurship to the equivalent for male business owners, then
|
||||
|
||||
that will help the economy. In the US, female entrepreneurs account for
|
||||
|
||||
38.8\% of all privately owned firms (Minniti et al, 2005) and this is
|
||||
|
||||
seen as one of the reasons for the higher GDP than in countries where
|
||||
|
||||
the participation rate for women is lower.
|
||||
|
||||
This paper looks at four case studies of women in a rural area. Low farm
|
||||
|
||||
incomes and a lack of alternative employment can act as an impetus for
|
||||
|
||||
female entrepreneurship in rural areas. Distance from local markets can
|
||||
|
||||
make it more difficult for a rural enterprise to succeed and generally,
|
||||
|
||||
rural businesses have a lower turnover than those in urban conurbations.
|
||||
|
||||
The case studies include a farmer''s wife trying to generate additional
|
||||
|
||||
income, one running an IT business from home, another developing a
|
||||
|
||||
forestry business, and one running a seed business and opening a fashion
|
||||
|
||||
retail outlet. Two of the women are very successful and are making good
|
||||
|
||||
profits whereas the other two are barely making a living. What are the
|
||||
|
||||
differences between these women? This paper looks at the different
|
||||
|
||||
attitudes of these women, their reasons for starting a business and how
|
||||
|
||||
they are trying to grow their businesses. This study found that although
|
||||
|
||||
they did want to grow their business and make money, their main
|
||||
|
||||
motivation was the lifestyle.'
