Women Entrepreneurship in Uganda: A Feminist Analysis on the Impact of Women Entrepreneurs’ Social Networks on Business Sustainability
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 03
Abstract
Many studies have been done on social networks and the sustainability of women entrepreneurship. However, these studies do not analyze the impact of social networks on women entrepreneurship from a feminist viewpoint. From an African context, this paper contributes to the studies on social networks and their impact on women entrepreneurship from a feminist perspective. Using semi-structured interviews, we interviewed 109 women entrepreneurs in agribusiness. Key questions included, how do women’s social networks impact on the sustainability of their businesses? Results show that husbands, friendships, saving groups and self- sufficiency positively impact on women business sustainability. It was established that men play a vital role in women business sustainability contrary to popular belief, that the social fabric is being torn apart due to western entrepreneurial tendencies such as competition in social networks and that post-colonial concepts such as urbanization present pseudo benefits that impact women entrepreneurs and their social networks negatively.
