Abstract
This qualitative theoretical paper examines the intricate relationship between gender culture and entrepreneurship, focusing on the exploration of challenges and opportunities faced by entrepreneurs of different genders. Through an extensive literature review and the application of a comprehensive theoretical framework incorporating social constructionism, feminist theory, intersectionality, and institutional theory, the study synthesizes existing qualitative data from academic journals, books, policy reports, and case studies. Thematic analysis of the data reveals significant insights into how societal norms, expectations, and stereotypes shape entrepreneurial behaviors, access to resources, and venture success within specific cultural contexts. The paper highlights the importance of addressing gender-related challenges to foster a more inclusive and diverse entrepreneurial ecosystem, contributing to economic growth, innovation, and gender equality. The implications of the findings are discussed in terms of policy recommendations and future research opportunities.
