| Summary: | Women's entrepreneurship is one of the main challenges in economic
growth. In this sense, within the context of creating new companies, it can
be considered as one of the main mechanisms that contributes to achieve
the desired wellbeing in society. Women's entrepreneurship reduces
unemployment, increases innovation, improves competitiveness and
favors economic growth significantly. This article aims to analyze the
influence of the socioeconomic and psychosocial factors involved in female
entrepreneurship. For this purpose, we used a sample of 101 women
entrepreneurs in the municipality of León, Nicaragua. We applied Factor
Analysis and Regression Analysis, in order to find out the relationship
between the considered factors. Some results indicate that all variables
considered have a significant influence on the probability of
entrepreneurship. The capacity of entrepreneurial women increases when
they have skills, knowledge and an early contact in the business world |
