UN Millennium Development Goals Goal No. 3: Promote Gender

Equality & Women Empowerment

Women greatly comprise the micro-entrepreneurs in the country (GEM 2006 Survey)

Of 42 countries, the Philippines registered the 2nd highest rate of women involved in business

Although on a global scale there are more men in business, in the Philippines the women are as likely to go into business as men.

DTI Business Name Registration: More women register new businesses BUT their numbers decline when it comes to business name renewals (done once every five years.

In 2008, 49 percent of those who registered for a new business name were female, while 42 percent were male. The remaining nine percent were registered as corporations, cooperatives and partnerships

Source: Department of Trade and Industry (DTI- HO), 2008

…more female than male entrepreneurs took part in DTI trainings (52 percent) and availed of the business development services of DTI for MSMEs (54 percent).

Enhancing Competitiveness thru Gender Mainstreaming

DTI’s Support Programs for Women Entrepreneurs

in Region 1

apply a customized gender mainstreaming approach that is suited to the business and economic environment specific to the Philippines.

“…this particular approach veers away from the traditional framework that highlights the plight of women (for example, the feminization of poverty), and which pinpoints gender discrimination against women as a cause for them not being able to access finance, services, or pursue business opportunities.

It rather highlights the fact that, as women owners comprise more than half of registered businesses in the Philippines, their potential as successful entrepreneurs is a competitive advantage that the country must harness.”

Source: GTZ-PSP GAD Briefing Paper

SMART ECONOMICS….…why it makes sense to integrate gender

Provides a strategic focus that looks at women’s and men’s access to resources and opportunities and also specifically addresses gender related constraints to running a business successfully, enhancing productivity and making businesses grow.

Looking at the national perspective, women from all parts of the region is encouraged to become enterprising considering that the “government is determined to succeed in supporting the economic empowerment of women” as their significant role to the development of the nation is recognized by both national and local leaders.

(March 2008, by President Gloria Macapagal- Arroyo in Malacañang during the Women’s Month Celebration)

Prospects of Women Entrepreneurs in Region 1

A potential to succeed considering the menu of available services infused by different regional line agencies such as technical, capability/skills training, marketing and financing programs, as presented.

The menu of available assistance given by the identified RLAs is a springboard to give economic value to women’s contribution to bring about globalized economy in the countryside.

Prospects of Women Entrepreneurs in Region 1

Womentrepreneurs…

According to Peny Azarcon de la Cruz of PDI - Women Entrepreneurs are:

More mature More enterprising More adventurous Hands-on management due to household chores More innovative and good at management

Summary

Women entrepreneurs and would-be entrepreneurs from this region can never go wrong if they opt to become “Entrepreneurial”. One only has to look around, explore and hone one’s Personal Entrepreneurial Competencies (PECs) to achieve “Economic Empowerment”.

Thank you!
