Problems and Prospects of Woman Entrepreneurship – A Review of LiteratureIOSRJBM
Any nation, to grow today in the world of intense competition, requires entrepreneurs at the core of the economic development. Entrepreneurial activities and entrepreneurship has been dominated by males since ages. However, in the era of information technology, the women have become more aware and better educational facilities have enabled them to venture into this male dominated space. The women today have emerged as a key player in economic development of the nations. However this transformation of society is far from over and the women entrepreneurs not only face difficulties while starting up an enterprise but also during the running phase. Globally, they have become a key player in sustaining both social development and economic growth. However, in a country like India where almost 50% of population is made up of women, the number of enterprises run by women entrepreneurs is only 7.36% or out of 361.76 Lakh enterprises in the MSME sector, only 26.61 Lakh have women at the top. There are a number of socio-economic hurdles faced by the women while they attempt to venture into setting up and running their own enterprises. Hence, the paper discusses the status of the Women Entrepreneurs and their importance. Also, an attempt is made to identify the challenges faced by these women entrepreneurs, by reviewing various literatures and provide some suggestion for overcoming these obstacles

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

ENTREPRENEURS
Frederick Harbison (1956) has enumerated the
following five functions of a woman entrepreneur:
Exploration of the prospects of starting a new
business enterprise.
Undertaking of risks and the handling of
economic uncertainties involved in business.
Introduction of innovations or imitation of
innovations.
Coordination, administration and control.
Supervision and leadership
11. The low literacy rate (40%),
low work participation rate (28%) and
low urban population share (10%) of women as
compared to 60%, 52% and 18% respectively of
their male counterparts well confirm their
disadvantageous position in the Indian society
12. • The development of women entrepreneurship
is expectedly low in the country.
• This is well indicated by a dismally low level
of women (5.2%) in total self-employed
persons in the country (Gupta and Khanka
1996).
• Further, women entrepreneurs in India
accounted for 9.01% of the total 1.70 million
entrepreneurs in the country during 1988-89
(Desai 1992).

24. Problem of Finance
Firstly, women do not
generally have property on
their names to use them as
collateral for obtaining funds
from external sources. Thus,
their access to the external
sources of funds is limited.
Secondly, the banks also
consider women less credit-
worthy and discourage
women borrowers on the
belief that they can at any
time leave their business
25. Scarcity of Raw Material

material, on the one
hand, and getting raw

cause of socio-economic
problems
• women are not aware of
business, technology

male reservations about
a women’s role, ability
and capacity
• women are not treated
equal to men
30. Low Risk Bearing Ability

• Indian women are known as housewives bearing heavy
domestic commitments
• Low literacy rate of women, lack of access to education
• As women generally lack in collateral, they find it difficult to
obtain even small amounts from the banks.
