Description

This chapter aims to focus on women entrepreneurs, who sometimes confront the double constraints of managing both company and personal duties. This study examines the particular difficulties faced by female entrepreneurs in striking a sustainable balance, emphasising the absence of support networks like accessible childcare as well as gender stereotypes and cultural expectations. The study assesses how their productivity, well-being, and company performance are affected by a poor work-life balance. It also looks into the tactics used by female business owners to overcome these obstacles, such delegation, selfcare, and time management. In order to promote a more inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystem, the chapter also suggests legislative initiatives, such as flexible work schedules and improved support networks. 2025, IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
