Enterprising Women. Local Initiatives for Job Creation.
Gould, Sara K., Ed.; Parzen, Julia, Ed.

This report contains two parts: "Setting the Scene" and "Local Responses: What Is and What Could Be." Part 1 contains three chapters: (1) "Business Creation and Local Economic Development--Why Entrepreneurship Should Be Encouraged" (Beth Siegel); (2) "Women in the Labour Market--The Choices Women Have" (Julianne Malveaux); and (3) "Women and Enterprise Creation: Barriers and Opportunities" (Candida Brush). Part 2 also contains three chapters: (1) "The Role of Intermediaries in Strengthening Women's Self-Employment Activities" (Chris Weiss); (2)"The Role of Intermediaries in Strengthening Women's Business Expansion Activities" (Kathryn Keeley); and (3) "Conclusions, Recommendations and a Framework for Action" (Sara K.
