Women Entrepreneurship in Tanzania: Entry and Performance Barriers
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: Organisation for Social Science Research in Eastern and Southern Africa (OSSREA,) 1998

The overall objective of the study was to identify social, cultural and economic factors that hinder of limit women's entry into entrepreneurship in Tanzania and those that affect their performance. Findings of the study reveal women participated in low demand and service-oriented activities. Poor performance in business suggests that socio-cultural gender biases, prejudices, practices and the generally lack of gender-sensitive industrial policies are the main critical factors. Socio-cultural practices have led to an unequal division of labour to the disadvantage of women.
