Empoderamiento frente a la adversidad: Factores determinantes del emprendimiento femenino en comunidades rurales andinas del Perú
Empowerment in the face of adversity: Factors determining female entrepreneurship in Andean rural communities in PeruContenido principal del artículo
El emprendimiento femenino emerge como un fenómeno de relevancia estratégica global, constituyendo un pilar fundamental para la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible, reducción de la pobreza y la promoción de la igualdad de género. El objetivo del estudio es analizar los determinantes del desempeño empresarial de las mujeres en el caserío de Cullcuy, Huánuco, Perú. El enfoque es cuantitativo transversal con una muestra de 98 mujeres. Se aplicaron encuestas estructuradas. Los datos se analizaron utilizando estadística descriptiva, correlaciones bivariadas, pruebas t de Student y modelos de regresión lineal múltiple jerárquica. Los resultados evidencian que el capital humano, de nivel educativo y capacitación recibida, constituyen los predictores más robustos del desempeño empresarial. La percepción de machismo en el hogar se correlacionó negativamente con los ingresos, aunque su efecto se atenuó en el modelo multivariado. Se concluye que las políticas de fomento al emprendimiento femenino en contextos rurales deben ser integrales, combinando la capacitación técnica y mejora del nivel educativo.
Women's entrepreneurship emerges as a phenomenon of global strategic relevance, constituting a fundamental pillar for achieving sustainable development objectives, reducing poverty and promoting gender equality. The objective of the study is to analyze the determinants of women's business performance in the Cullcuy case, Huánuco, Peru. The focus is a transversal quantitative study with a sample of 98 women. Structured surveys will be applied. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics, bivariate correlations, Student tests and hierarchical multiple linear regression models. The results show that human capital, educational level and capacity received, constitute the most robust predictors of business performance. The perception of machismo in the home correlated negatively with income, although its effect was attenuated in the multivariate model. It is concluded that policies to promote female entrepreneurship in rural contexts must be comprehensive, combining technical training and improving educational levels.
