Women Entrepreneurship and crisis

Title of this Module
Women Entrepreneurship and crisis

Description
The global economic crisis, of the kind the world has never known, had changed the rules of the global economy. The crisis caused the collapse of large companies, large-scale firing of workers, a reduction in the standard of living and a reduction in the demand for services, especially personal services of the type women tend to offer in their businesses. Another characteristic, as serious in its implications, is the shortage in credit for the business sector. Businesses have been having difficulty in gaining capital from financial institutions. Since women always have hard time obtaining funds, the economic crisis worsened even more their situation. In addition, women did not seem able to benefit from the solutions offered.
