Entrepreneurship, Women, Gender-Related Factors and Access to Finance.

      Аннотация: This book encapsulates a study on women entrepreneurship and specifically investigates the extent to which the documented perceived gender-related factors/barriers categorized in the study under resources, knowledge, procedure and exogenous factors/barriers impact their access to finance in a developing country, Nigeria. The categorization of the gender-related factors/barriers provides an access-barrier model that can be treated statistically apart from offering a better understanding of the impact of each barrier variable. It also covers the contributions of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the problems facing them especially in developing economies in their pursuit of entrepreneurship as a background to the study. The book will be of interest to policy makers, scholars and researchers in gender issues and entrepreneurship.
