Abstract

 

This study delves into the intricate relationship between women's participation in social entrepreneurship and the role of government policies in fostering transformational change. Through a comprehensive examination, it seeks to elucidate the dynamic interplay between these two critical factors and their combined impact on societal progress. By exploring the intersection of women's social entrepreneurship initiatives and government policies, this research aims to uncover the mechanisms through which collaborative efforts can drive positive change and promote inclusive development.

The study hypothesizes that women's involvement in social entrepreneurship significantly contributes to instigating social transformation, while government policies play a pivotal role in nurturing and supporting such initiatives. To test these hypotheses, a rigorous analysis was conducted using statistical methods, including the Wilcoxon test, to assess the correlation between women's social entrepreneurship activities and the effectiveness of government policies in facilitating their growth.

By shedding light on the synergistic relationship between women's social entrepreneurship and government policies, this research endeavors to provide valuable insights for policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders alike. Ultimately, it aims to inform strategies and interventions that empower women entrepreneurs, drive socio-economic progress, and foster a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
