Women play a significant role in the world's workforce, contributing nearly two-thirds of total work, including household duties. Despite their significant contributions, women only receive a tenth of the world's income and own only one-hundredth of the world's property. Entrepreneurship offers a powerful vehicle for advancing the lives of women globally. This book brings together 49 distinguished entrepreneurship scholars to provide a unique global vision of the well-being of women entrepreneurs, essential for fostering sustainable development and inclusive societies.

While gender inequality remains a significant issue, solutions to achieve gender parity in the formal workplace and globally are still far from ideal. However, the number of women involved in entrepreneurship is rapidly growing, driven by increased opportunities for women to own a business and be their own boss. This offers women the most desirable and flexible working conditions, better aligning with their lifestyles and multiple family responsibilities. However, entrepreneurial activities are demanding and complex, and women face unique challenges that require close attention.

This book presents research and programs aimed at effectively supporting women entrepreneurs in achieving the well-being necessary for business sustainability and personal prosperity. Offering a diverse range of perspectives from around the globe, The Wellbeing of Women in Entrepreneurship is of great interest to academics and practitioners working in teaching and research in disciplines such as business management, entrepreneurship, organizational change, human-centered management, human resources, sustainable development, and women's studies.

By understanding the well-being of women entrepreneurs, we can create a more equitable and inclusive world where women have the opportunity to thrive and contribute to the global economy.
