Abstract
Women's entrepreneurship has surfaced as a catalyst in propelling rural
socio-economic development through the promotion of employment creation, income
diversification, and community empowerment has been of significant focus in
this study. Based on both primary and secondary sources, the study identifies
the nexus between entrepreneurial activities and such socio-economic indicators
as education, health, and infrastructure development. The conclusions highlight
that the women-led businesses not only increase household income and
decision-making power but also generate multiplier effects that find expression
in the broader rural economy. But despite persistent challenges like restricted
access to finance, insufficient training, and socio-cultural constraints, they
continue to constrain their full potential. The paper recommends in conclusion
strategic policy interventions, capacity-building programs, and institutional
support mechanisms to leverage women's entrepreneurial capacities as a
strategic driver of inclusive rural growth.
