Abstract

This chapter presents the theoretical and methodological framework used by the INTERGEN project to identify “good practices” for socialising young women into sustainable entrepreneurship. By referring to relational sociology and adopting the capability approach, the study defines good practices as situated learning opportunities able to activate transformative processes rather than rigid, replicable models. Through a qualitative and participatory methodology, 31 practices were mapped and classified into four different areas related to immaterial support (education and mentoring), entrepreneurship services, networking, and integrated actions. Particular attention is given to rural contexts, where women emerge as key actors of socio-ecological innovation. Methodologically, the selection involved qualitative criteria (i.e. effectiveness and innovativeness) and stakeholder consultation to ensure social validity. The chapter concludes by proposing evidence-informed policy design principles, advocating for integrated, intersectional, and context-sensitive frameworks. It emphasises that fostering sustainable female entrepreneurship requires moving beyond fragmented measures towards creating relational ecosystems, enhancing women’s agency.
