The difficulties of socio-professional integration of graduated womens and the emergence of entrepreneurship

Abstract

Women still face significant obstacles in accessing jobs and earning their lives. Inequalities between men and women are particularly huge in the employment sector and tend to impact women in terms of acquiring employment and improving living conditions.

Despite the beneficial impact of women's work on the country's economy and its growth, the results of their academic success are not always translated into an improvement in their professional situation. Female unemployment persists and is also a source of concern and one factor among others that explains the social and professional exclusion of women.

Following their exposure to the risks of exclusion in the labor market, this category sought an alternative to combat the difficulties of socio-professional integration and income generation. This is entrepreneurship which has attracted great interest in recent times as a source of remuneration and an important factor in the economic independence of women as well as a fundamental element in achieving empowerment.

The reflection on the emergence of entrepreneurship and its impact on unemployed women presents a new observation, moving from the dysfunction of the labor market and the difficulties of socio-professional integration of graduated women towards the promotion of employment and income generation.

It is in this context that the connection we operate in this work takes place between the difficulties of socio-professional integration of graduated women and the choice of entrepreneurship as a solution to escape exclusion from the labor market.

Keywords: Social exclusion, exclusion from the labor market, socio-professional integration, absence of employment, entrepreneurship, graduated women, empowerment.
