Meeting the Challenges of Sustainable Women Entrepreneurship Development in North Eastern Nigeria

Abstract

In recent years, women's sustainable development has become a major concern. In today's world, the economic sustainability of women is seen as a key indicator of progress for any country; thus, social scientists, economists, policymakers, reformers, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) place a premium on their economic sustainability. Since insurgency has drastically changed the social-economic responsibility of women in this area, the paper in this accord set out to till out specific challenges in which women entrepreneurship development is faced in the north-eastern region, as most male folk have been killed and some irreversibly injured. The paper discovered that the majority of these difficulties are sociological, but a few are financial, such as religion, underage marriage, inadequate educational exposure, and limited access to capital, using qualitative review process. It concludes by recommending that the government and all other relevant parties in this region effectively implement policies and programs to boost female education, raise awareness and promote literacy, mitigate economic marginalization, prevent household frictions, and demands for further research in this field.
