More and more women are taking on the big challenge of building new businesses from the ground up. They’re highly skilled and motivated, and they are helping South Africa’s economy grow.
As the generation to grow up after the first waves of feminism, we have much to celebrate, such as career opportunities not afforded to many women before us. There are still many challenges. Women are the underestimated powerhouses of an economy. This is not a fact that is relevant only to South Africa, but it is a global phenomenon.
Mike Anderson, CEO and founder of the National Small Business Chamber (NSBC), says South Africa needs not only to build entrepreneurship, but to encourage and develop female business owners. He says the bigger picture lies in reshaping the modern-day global economy.
“Forbes says that what’s good for women is good for the economy and I think this is truer for South Africa than anywhere else right now. While we have many rural women already striving to be sustainable, we need to focus on developing our formal sector and boost female entrepreneurship and small business development.”
