Abstract:
Gender inequality remains one of the most pressing socio-economic challenge in South Africa despite the presence of policy initiatives that target women for empowerment. The lack of consensus in the literature of a reliable and consistent measurement instrument of gender equality also makes it difficult to quantify and analyze female empowerment issues. The objective of the study was to estimate a measure for female empowerment, Gender Status Index, for South Africa and then use the index to analyze the relationship between entrepreneurship, economic growth and female empowerment.

Women are untapped resources for economic growth. Female entrepreneurs, like their male counterparts, can boast the economic growth of a country. Women owned business creates jobs which results in poverty alleviation and eradication of unemployment. Similarly, women entrepreneurs add diversity to the entrepreneurial mix of a country. Female entrepreneurs intensify competition through creativity and innovation. However, the institutional profile and overall business environment of any country have significant role in women business start-ups. This study attempts to provide a plausible account o

Using data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, I explored the long-term effect of entrepreneurial activities on economic growth. With both cross-sectional and panel analysis, I found that it is not the overall participation in entrepreneurial activities that relates to economic growth but only the portion engaged in opportunity-motivated entrepreneurship that explains higher growth. On the contrary, the necessity-driven entrepreneurship negatively impacts economic growth. Further, I found that the positive effect of opportunity-motivated entrepreneurship is stronger for countries that ar

Overall findings of the study suggest that there are different effects of the institutional determinants on the prevalence of growth-aspiration entrepreneurship in developing countries and developed countries.
