O impacto da pandemia de COVID-19 sobre o empreendedorismo feminino: Uma revisão sistematizada de literatura

Abstract

Women’s entrepreneurship is of extreme relevance in today's society in terms of socio-economic advancement and the empowerment of women, especially in emerging economies. This study aims to conduct a systematic review of the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic context had on women’s entrepreneurship. Article screening was performed on the Periódicos CAPES platform using the PRISMA model. The analysis focused on 12 articles, predominantly qualitative studies, published from 2020 to 2023 in both Portuguese and English. The results show that the pandemic exacerbated barriers that women were already facing in the job market; at the same time, the crisis provided women with an opportunity for female emancipation. The study concludes by highlighting areas and topics that can be explored in future research and suggesting actions for managers and public policies that can be implemented to promote women’s entrepreneurship.
