Women’s entrepreneurship, green economy, sustainable industries, economic empowerment, rooftop solar entrepreneurship, gender & developmentAbstract
This study examines the vital contribution of women’s entrepreneurship in sustainable industries as a strategic avenue for economic empowerment and social progress. Despite the increasing scope for self-employment within green sectors, women’s access remains restricted due to policy limitations and structural barriers. By promoting women’s active engagement in green entrepreneurship, this approach not only enhances their financial independence and social standing but also supports environmental sustainability and aligns with national economic development goals. The study provides an overview of how entrepreneurial opportunities in environmentally sustainable sectors can be leveraged to foster inclusive economic growth and long-term well-being for women, society, and the planet
