Abstract

This research paper investigates the influence of entrepreneurial education on gender disparities within the entrepreneurial landscape. Drawing from a synthesis of existing literature and local interviews, the study examines how access to and engagement with entrepreneurial education programs may contribute to or mitigate gender-based discrepancies in entrepreneurial endeavors. By exploring the experiences and perspectives of local entrepreneurs alongside insights from academic sources, this paper aims to shed light on the complex interplay between gender, education, and entrepreneurship. The findings underscore the importance of tailored educational interventions and support mechanisms in fostering gender equity and inclusivity within entrepreneurial ecosystems. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of entrepreneurial education in shaping gender dynamics in entrepreneurship and offers practical implications for policymakers, educators, and practitioners striving to promote diversity and equality in entrepreneurial pursuits.
