Inclusive Entrepreneurship: International Perspectives and Practices - Zogning, Félix

This book explores the role of inclusive entrepreneurship in promoting social equality, wealth creation, and development in underrepresented groups such as women, ethnic minorities, youth, immigrants, and people with disabilities. In today's world, these groups face systemic barriers to starting businesses or accessing entrepreneurial opportunities. This book explores the ways in which these barriers are addressed globally with targeted initiatives, policies, and support mechanisms, drawing from case studies from various regions. It argues that entrepreneurship should be inclusive and tailored to the specific needs of these groups, highlighting how it can drive economic empowerment and social mobility and breaks down barriers such as limited access to financial resources and support systems. The book also addresses the role of digital tools and innovations in overcoming these obstacles.

Offing both theoretical frameworks and practical solutions, this book is suitable for researchers, scholars, academics, professionals and policymakers in entrepreneurship, diversity and inclusion, and development economics.
