Are you keen on learning more about female entrepreneurship and economic development from a gender perspective? Are you a master or PhD student, working as a policy maker, project manager or development worker in the field of economic development? Then this course is designed just for you!
In this course you will reflect on the broader macro- and socio economic context that impacts on development, women and entrepreneurship. Also, you will learn about the different factors, actors, circumstances and conditions that influence the behavior, choices and environments of women entrepreneurs. Lastly, you will explore and discuss the effect of the policies and practices that are applied to promote women entrepreneurship in developing countries. In this course we will explore the question: why does the gender gap in entrepreneurship persist?
