Policy frameworks should promote societal attitudes that are conducive to women’s entrepreneurship,such as ensuring that women are recognized as equal partners in family unions, and hence have equal ownership rights to joint assets. It is also clear that actions to strengthen social protection and promote social inclusion, including supportive family policies, such as maternity and paternity leave, flexible work schedules and availability of child care services, are crucial if women are to become successful in business.
