Women’s empowerment and emancipation through entrepreneurship: extending Professor Alistair Anderson’s contributions
本文致敬Anderson教授对女性创业研究的贡献，通过实证比较创业与其他职业选择对全球南方国家女性赋权与解放的影响，并讨论性别动态及最弱势女性创业者。
This study represents a tribute to Professor Alistair Anderson’s contributions to female entrepreneurship research. Although female entrepreneurship was only one research line in Professor Anderson’s extensive academic career, his contributions are embedded in the most contemporary discussion about the most vulnerable female entrepreneurs. Inspired by Professor Anderson’s research on the influence of entrepreneurship on the empowerment and emancipation of female entrepreneurs in the Global South countries, our study provides empirical evidence about how entrepreneurship affects women’s empowerment and emancipation compared with other occupational choices (e.g. full-time employees and homemakers). Our study includes provocative implications/discussion about gender dynamics, and the most vulnerable women enrolled in entrepreneurial activities.
