The Women’s Entrepreneurship Diagnostic

In developed economies, women help create new jobs and income opportunities.  In developing countries, increasing women’s entrepreneurship improves incomes while reducing poverty and inequality. The conclusion of the analysis will generate a short list of the top binding constraints for women’s entrepreneurship in the country. It should also yield a coherent, broad picture of how these binding constraints relate to one another, or potentially share an underlying root cause. This “syndrome” diagnosis then allows policy-makers to make informed decisions about prioritizing different solutions and also to anticipate what they might see in other issue areas when they address one binding constraint.
