Microempreendedorismo individual (MEI) feminino: contexto atual e desafios

Abstract

The participation of women in the labor market and their professional growth has made female micro-entrepreneurship a topic of great relevance today. According to Sebrae (2019), despite the achievements achieved by women in the business world, there are still many challenges to be overcome, from facing the existing gender bias in the labor market to the difficulty of accessing credit lines for women. The financing of their ventures. Complementary Law No. 128/2008, created to regulate the performance of individual microentrepreneurs, made it possible for professionals who had difficulty dealing with bureaucracy and the high costs involved in the process, to formalize their business. Given the above, this paper aims to investigate female microentrepreneurship in the current context from a bibliographic study on female microentrepreneurship, its importance in society and the main challenges faced by microentrepreneurs today. In general, it is understood that the path of entrepreneurship is still full of challenges, but little by little, the barriers are being overcome and thus, consolidating the role of women in the business world.
