Abstract

In a context characterised by persistent gender inequalities and high youth unemployment rates, the INTERGEN project aimed to promote the social and economic inclusion of young women, framing entrepreneurship beyond the sole dimension of individual agency. Structural, cultural, and sectoral barriers continue to influence entrepreneurial choices, and female entrepreneurial activity remains lower than male activity. Many social inequalities originate within the labour market, where gender and culture interact dynamically. The Delphi findings show that female entrepreneurship is re-situated within a systemic configuration of constraints and opportunities, as policies fail to translate into tangible resources. Empowerment as a transformative process is a key driver of inclusive growth. Entrepreneurship among young women must be framed within a complex ecosystem of structural, cultural, and generational factors. It therefore becomes crucial to strengthen tools such as expert mentoring, sustainability-oriented training, and work-life balance infrastructures.
