The Role Of Education In Empowering Women Entrepreneurs: Assessing How Educational Attainment Influences Entrepreneurial Success Among Women

Abstract

This study examines the role of education in empowering women entrepreneurs by assessing how different levels and types of educational attainment influence entrepreneurial success. Despite growing participation in entrepreneurship, women continue to face unique challenges that education can help address, including skill development, confidence-building, and access to social networks. Using a mixed-methods approach, this research investigates the impact of formal education, vocational training, and informal learning on business outcomes among women entrepreneurs. Findings indicate that higher educational attainment correlates positively with business growth, innovation, and resilience, though access to education remains a barrier in certain contexts. The study concludes by recommending policies to enhance educational opportunities for women, ultimately supporting their entrepreneurial ventures and economic contributions.
