Females in social entrepreneurship: what we know and what we need to know
| Resumo: | Social entrepreneurship (SE), which aims to solve social problems of deprived groups, has become a popular area of research and practice. The recent investigation on SE has been characterized by a greater focus on gender differences, emphasizing that the role and characteristics of females are more suitable for social entrepreneurial initiatives. This chapter investigates the predominant themes on females in SE and identifies further research opportunities. On the one hand, the main macro (e.g., sociocultural values) and micro (e.g., personality traits) levels determinants are examined. On the other hand, the macro (e.g., social change) and micro (e.g., women economic empowerment) levels outcomes of females in SE are analyzed. Furthermore, directions for future research are suggested which will enable future authors to focus their studies more effectively. |
