Abstract
Abstract This highlights the critical role of women-owned small and medium enterprises (SMEs) initiated by the government in improving the economy. This study aimed to analyze the effect of age, marital status, education, number of household members, and entrepreneurial experience on women’s entrepreneurship in Pekanbaru City. To this end, we collected a sample of 75 respondents, including women entrepreneurs from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) owners and non-entrepreneurs. A binary logistic model was used to analyze the proposed relationships. Empirical results suggested that respondent characteristics are essential in influencing women’s decisions in entrepreneurship. In particular, women of young age and experience in business have more significant opportunities. The study also found that women with lower education are likelier to start a business than women with higher education. This study signified a need for entrepreneurship policies responsive to youth so that youth have great potential to open new businesses.
