Impact of Female Entrepreneurship on Economic Growth

The central question of the study, "The Impact of Female Entrepreneurship on Economic Growth in Developing and Developed Economies," is: what is the impact of women’s entrepreneurship on economic growth in developed and developing countries?

• H1:  The impact of women’s entrepreneurship improves well-being and accelerates economic growth.
• H2:  The level of human capital contributes to the development of women’s entrepreneurship.
