This study has been conducted to understand the Socio-Cultural and Economic effect on women
Entrepreneur especially in Allahabad district of India. Half of the total population is represented by Women
but in industry and other entrepreneurial activities, they are in few numbers. After analyzing the data it was
found that most of the women entered into the entrepreneurship around the age of 39 and above. This gives an
impression that women entrepreneurs by the age of thirties become independent of their family responsibilities
and left with no work. Almost every woman opted for the business related to beauty-parlour and law.
Educational background of the women entrepreneurs also seems to be quite impressive, as most of them have
completed their studies up to graduation. Most of them have found to be doing household works before starting
their business. They were not doing any other service or private jobs. This could be due to their responsibilities
of household works and issues of raising children. The type of business which most of them are running is of
shop. This can be mainly due to the reason as before entering into business they were indulged in their
household works. Most of them sell their products on the regional level. This shows that they are gradually
stepping forward and try to spread their business so that it can flourish. The reason which majority of them has
given to start a business was social factors. They need encouragement and support from their families, social
circles and most importantly the government. Government should m ake initiations to provide financial supports
to women entrepreneurs.
Key words: Cultural, economic, employment, government, social, women entrepreneurs,
