Abstract

The research in women entrepreneurship has been developed with the recognition of the growing role of the woman in the economical and social development of the countries. The difference of performance observed between developed and developing countries is justified by the degree of appropriation of "the gender approach" as well as the role of the entrepreneurial environment. To understand how Tunisian women establish their companies, we have tried to prepare a questionnaire after establishing a theoretical framework to set our research objective with respect to the women entrepreneurship issue and to the role of the business environment. The results of this survey which has been conducted on fifty businesswomen during June and July 2019, show that the barriers that they face are linked to gender issues, which makes them work by necessity rather than by opportunity. The sociocultural constraints which impede them, however, are the need to find a balance between family and work, the fear of failure, and the traditional believes that had influenced the choice of the type of their projects.
