| Popis: | The aim of this paper is to explore the background to lowest level of Indian women participation in entrepreneurship in Malaysia although there were plenty of opportunities generated by the earlier government and government established agencies like NEET, SEED, CEDIC. The study confirms that Indian women are moving towards business involvement, at an insignificant rate even with these support. The mind-set of the rural rubber estate workers earning a stable salary had not changed to accept the challenges of business environment. Other equally important reasons were Finance, Education, Training, Access to Markets, Networks, Government Policies, Confidence, Risk taking, Role Model/Mentor and Experience. The finding is significant as self-employment is emerging to be very crucial source of family funding and a means of shifting B40 group away from poverty among Indian women in Malaysia. It is hoped that new government will be concerned in uplifting this unfortunate group by incorporate issues identified in this paper into their strategic plan. |
