“Social identity and cultural norms create additional barriers to youth entrepreneurship, particularly for young women. They often face discrimination when accessing credit, negotiating deals, and working in male-dominated fields such as construction and renewable energy. These biases diminish their confidence and limit their opportunities, making it more challenging to start or sustain businesses.”

Addressing these barriers requires expanding inclusive, youth-friendly financing and equipping young women with the tools and confidence to access and manage investment opportunities.
