Federica Russo
ABSTRACT:
This study examines the evolution of female education in Italy and its influence on the rise of women-led businesses. It addresses the critical question of how the growth of these enterprises relates to overall economic development, analyzing the complex interplay of factors that shape this relationship. Additionally, the research investigates the impact of regulatory frameworks and societal attitudes in fostering an environment conducive to women’s entrepreneurship. Using a longitudinal analysis spanning the period from 2012 to 2021, the study highlights the broader implications for economic growth, with a particular focus on the positive effects of enhancing women’s participation in entrepreneurial activities. By contributing to the academic discourse at the intersection of education, entrepreneurship, and economic development, this research offers policymakers evidence-based insights to develop strategies that empower women and drive economic progress.
