Handling the Mishandling: The Role of Entrepreneurial Training in Women's Social Equity

Abstract

This research investigates the complex correlation between women's entrepreneurial education and social equity, specifically emphasising the moderating influence of microfinance credits, savings, and loans within the Pakistani setting. This study utilises primary data obtained from women entrepreneurs and microfinance banking clients through a Likert scale questionnaire. The research performs correlation and regression analyses to derive statistically significant findings. The results demonstrate a strong and positive correlation between women's participation in entrepreneurial training programs and the promotion of social equity. This confirms the significant impact of education and skill development on empowering women in the field of entrepreneurship. Significantly, this study sheds light on the crucial moderating function of microfinance services. This finding illustrates that the provision of microfinance credit, savings, and loans plays a crucial role in enhancing the favourable effects of entrepreneurship training on women's social equality results. This statement highlights the crucial role played by microfinance institutions in promoting financial inclusion and empowering women economically. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of the interplay among entrepreneurship, microfinance, and gender studies. The practical consequences of this research are relevant to policymakers, microfinance institutions, and groups focused on women's empowerment. The findings provide valuable insights that may be utilised to improve training programs and financial services.
