The reality of women's entrepreneurship practices : an exploratory study : the case of Algeria

Abstract EN

The present study seeks to analyze the reality of women’s practices regarding entrepreneurship in Algerian society.

in Algeria, as in all other countries, entrepreneurship is the practice of rational and purposeful activities in order to attain defined and precise goals.

however, the form and boundaries of this activity vary according to gender, making it impossible to disentangle gender identity from the nature of the ensuing activities.

as a result, women's entrepreneurship becomes a social, political, and economic practice with various stakes, as well as aims and standards that differ from male norms in the same industry.
