Accelerating Women-owned Businesses in Male-dominated Sectors: Research Booklet
Overview
In 2021 Entrepreneurship To The Point (eTTP) was awarded a grant by Aspen Network of Development Entrepreneur (ANDE) and International Development Research Centre (IDRC) to conduct research titled: Accelerating Women-owned Businesses in Male-Dominated Sectors in South Africa. The purpose of the research was to obtain better understanding of the key barriers to entry and growth, that women-owned businesses face in male-dominated sectors, as well as to identify key factors necessary to accelerate the participation and growth of women-owned businesses in South Africa. The research focused on four traditionally male-dominated sectors identified as crucial by the South African government to drive economic growth and job creation: agriculture, manufacturing, infrastructure, and construction.
