A gender- and class-sensitive explanatory model for rural women entrepreneurship in Turkey

Bengü Kurtege Sefer · 2020 · International Journal of Gender and Entrepreneurship

Summary. Rural women's agricultural cooperatives in Turkey have declined despite government promotion as vehicles for economic integration. This paper develops a gender- and class-sensitive framework combining macro, meso, and micro-level factors to explain why. Using intersectional theory, it identifies how policymaking, implementation, and everyday experiences create disadvantages for rural women entrepreneurs. The research calls for holistic policy reform at state and cooperative levels to address structural inequalities.
