M. S. Kabir, Xuexi Huo · 2011 · International Journal of Business and Management

Summary. Small entrepreneurship in livestock, poultry, nursery, and handicraft production significantly improved rural poor women's livelihoods in Bangladesh. Participating households increased annual income by an average of 111 percent. The enterprises also drove improvements in health, sanitation, housing, and access to clean water. Women gained self-employment opportunities and greater participation in household decision-making, demonstrating that small-scale enterprises effectively reduce poverty and advance socioeconomic development.
