Role of Cooperative Society on Women Entrepreneurship Development in Nepal

Abstract

A realistic representation of the situation is the influence of cooperative societies on the growth of women entrepreneurs. Descriptive and analytical research designs were used to carry out the current investigation. The data had a dual qualitative and quantitative aspect. The primary and secondary data used in this investigation were both sources. The structure questionnaire provided the primary data, and the cooperative's annual report provided the secondary data. There are 652 female cooperative members in total, but only 400 of them were chosen at random to serve as the study's sample. Qualitative data was gathered using a questionnaire. This thesis argues for the development of women's empowerment and successful entrepreneurship through cooperative means. Regression analysis and correlation are used in this investigation. The correlation analysis showed a positive relationship between women's empowerment and income. There is a statistically significant relationship between women's economic empowerment and income. Women's economic empowerment is adversely and strongly correlated with their level of education, ownership of assets, and decision-making authority. Similarly, there is a negative correlation (-0.054) between women's empowerment and family supports. There is little evidence of a link between women's empowerment and familial support. According to the regression analysis, decision-making authority and asset ownership have little bearing on women's economic empowerment, whereas family support has no such bearing. Similarly, decision authority is significant at the 0.10 level of significance with women empowerment, although income level and asset ownership have a significant impact on women's economic empowerment at the significance level of 0.05. Key Findings: Income level, Education, Family support, Decision power, Owner of assets, Women empowerment
