Caracterización de mujeres emprendedoras del Distrito Metropolitano de Quito

Abstract

The current document intends to characterize the Women Entrepreneurs of the Distrito Metropolitano de Quito, based on three fundamental aspects: entrepreneurial potential, the motivations to undertake and the barriers that occur when undertaking. For this, we used the questionnaire that potential entrepreneur, whose author is Cabana Vilca was used, which was modified and validated so that it could respond to the objectives of this research, likewise, an interview was conducted based on the questions of the same survey.

The results of this study try to explain the characteristics that describe female entrepreneurship, as well as the most relevant aspects that a woman faces when creating her own business. A study of a mixed nature allowed us to contrast the quantitative part with the qualitative part and in this way deepen the research work. The final part of this research work proposes several actions that women can take when starting a business.
