espanolLa mujer rural ha evolucionado en las ultimas decadas, siendo considerada actor fundamental para la dinamizacion del territorio por las politicas de desarrollo rural. En la literatura (Stough, 2016; Bjarstig y Sandstrom, 2017; Navarro et al., 2018b), se especula que estas politicas, junto con la actividad alternativa a la agricultura, han fomentado que las mujeres se empoderen al emprender y, con ello, dinamicen el medio rural. Para contribuir al conocimiento de la efectividad de las politicas de desarrollo rural se plantea esta investigacion en la que se analizan los casos de 11 emprendedoras beneficiarias de politicas LEADER en Murcia (Espana) desde hace, al menos, quince anos. Los resultados indican que el emprendimiento femenino provoco tanto la dinamizacion del territorio como el desarrollo profesional de las mujeres rurales. Ademas, se observo que estas politicas atraen a mujeres con caracteristicas distintivas y que la politica LEADER fue determinante para que decidieran convertirse en emprendedoras. EnglishRural women have evolved in recent decades, being considered a fundamental actor for the revitalization of the territory by rural development policies. In the literature (Stough, 2016; Bjarstig y Sandstrom, 2017; Navarro et al., 2018b), it is speculated that these policies, together with the alternative activity to agriculture, have encouraged women to become empowered by start a business and, with their activity, energize the rural environment. In order to contribute to the knowledge of the effectiveness of rural development policies, this research is proposed in which the cases of eleven female entrepreneurs benefiting from LEADER policies in Murcia (Spain) at least fifteen years ago are analyzed. The results indicate that female entrepreneurship caused both the dynamization of the territory and the professional development of rural women. In addition, it was observed that these policies attract women with distinctive characteristics and that the LEADER policy was decisive for them to decide to become entrepreneurs. |
