Entrepreneurship development for women through cooperative sector

This book brings forth that cooperative sector has not taken much interest in the formation of women’s cooperatives and when they have, men usually still dominate it. Yet those who have successfully organised their women’s cooperatives have found that this has not only strengthened and increased their income, but has also changed their perceptions in positive way. These perceptions have been effective on many issues such as resistance against changes in technology which could create loss of employment, appeal for improving legal services to safeguard women’s rights and reduction of occupational and health hazards. This book presents ways and measures for engaging poor women in cooperatives and thereby leading them to bread. Cooperative education needs to be included in academic streamline. Cooperative department also require reviewing its infrastructure and credit policies and training their personnel for motivating women to establish their own cooperatives.
