You may believe that the worst impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic are behind us. This is true for many countries, mostly developed economies. For the less fortunate, though, the impacts are enduring. Women entrepreneurs in emerging economies represent some of the most vulnerable entrepreneurs globally. Many faced exceedingly difficult business impacts during the COVID-19 pandemic which could have been – and could still be – addressed through policy action. The Women Entrepreneurs in Emerging Economies: Lessons on Segmentation and Care Needs from the 2019-2021 Pandemic policy brief explores how the pandemic impacts have persisted for women entrepreneurs in emerging countries with a particular focus on four economies in the low income countries studied between 2019-21: Egypt, India, Iran and Morocco (participated in the GEM survey in each of the three years). The goal of this focused study is to inspire new and innovative approaches to supporting women entrepreneurs in emerging economies.
