Gender in Digital Entrepreneurship

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the intersection between gender and digital entrepreneurship, focusing on emerging countries. Despite the transformative potential of digital technologies, gender disparities in entrepreneurship persist, particularly in emerging countries. Women entrepreneurs often face a unique set of challenges that hinder their participation and success in the digital economy. Therefore, understanding the unique challenges and opportunities faced by women entrepreneurs is crucial in those areas. From access to capital and networks to overcoming societal biases, this book delves into the complexities of gender dynamics within the digital startup ecosystem. Through real-world case studies, this book highlights both the achievements and challenges experienced by digital entrepreneurs, especially for women. This book provides both inspiration and practical insight, serving as a valuable resource for policymakers, educators, and aspiring entrepreneurs in advancing gender equality within the digital landscape. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5), it emphasizes the promotion of equal access to economic resources for women, the empowerment of women through technology, and the adoption and reinforcement of policies and legislation that support gender equality.
