Sociocultural Challenges For Women Entrepreneurs In Algerian Society

Abstract

Women entrepreneurs in Algeria face significant socio-cultural challenges that hinder their growth in the field of entrepreneurship. The existing social values and traditions in Algerian society are a major obstacle, as they impose certain restrictions on women's role in the workforce and consider it a violation of cultural norms. These challenges also include difficulties in accessing funding and financial support for women's start-up projects, as well as a lack of technical support and training needed to develop their skills and capabilities in business management. In addition, legal regulations and laws, which can sometimes be restrictive or discriminatory against women, act as an additional barrier to the stability and development of their entrepreneurial ventures. This article discusses the definition of women entrepreneurs, the importance of women entrepreneurs in achieving economic and social development, the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs and the characteristics that women entrepreneurs should possess.
