Female entrepreneurship in rural Vietnam: an exploratory study
Summary. Government pro-entrepreneurship policies and private sector interventions have boosted rural entrepreneurship in Vietnam, but women still face significant barriers. Female entrepreneurs in rural and remote areas struggle against societal prejudices, lack of financing, and limited access to entrepreneurship education. The study reveals that environmental factors—both supportive policies and cultural constraints—shape women's entrepreneurial outcomes in rural Vietnam.
