Social entrepreneurship and its contribution to the decrease of gender inequality in Africa in the last decade

Abstract

Several successful social enterprises are now operating in healthcare, education, and rural development in Africa. Women are acting in this field more than men in several African countries. Indeed, women are contributing to the rise of the field of Social Entrepreneurship (SE) in Africa. Is Social Entrepreneurship a tool for minimizing gender gap in Africa? That is the question this work project aims to analyze. To understand the relation between SE and gender gap, interviews with Tunisian Social entrepreneurs have been conducted.
