Abstract

This research paper aims to explore the social and economic factors impacting female entrepreneurial success in South Kerala, through the lens of Sustainable Development Goal 8. The study collected data from 100 female entrepreneurs using both online and offline surveys and found that while there are many young women entrepreneurs with basic education moving towards entrepreneurship, they lack proper training, planning, and industry knowledge. The study highlights the need for financial and infrastructural support for women entrepreneurs, as well as the challenges they face due to gender discrimination and inequalities. To support their success, the paper proposes the creation of a database of female entrepreneurs and stresses the significance of tackling the social and economic challenges that women business owners in the area confront. The study's findings can be useful for policymakers and stakeholders in designing targeted policies and programs to promote inclusive economic growth, empower women, and promote gender equality.
