The Macroeconomic Contribution of Women's Entrepreneurship Within Inclusive Economic Growth Models

Аннотация

The purpose of this paper is to determine the significance of women's contribution to economic empowerment within the framework of an open macroeconomic model. It analyzes the principal channels through which women’s entrepreneurial activity impacts key macroeconomic indicators—such as employment generation, GDP growth, enhancement of export capacity, reduction of regional disparities, and improvements in population welfare. Drawing on cross-country comparative data, the study identifies institutional and structural patterns of female entrepreneurial participation across countries with varying income levels. Particular attention is devoted to the sectoral and market focus of women-led startups, highlighting their role in advancing sustainable development, accelerating digital transformation, and promoting national economic self-sufficiency. The results demonstrate that women’s entrepreneurship functions not only as a mechanism for expanding economic rights, but also as a strategic driver of structural transformation and long-term national competitiveness. The article concludes by arguing for the integration of women’s entrepreneurship promotion into the core strategic priorities of national economic policy frameworks.
