Abstract
This study examines the relationship between political factors, entrepreneurship, and female employment vulnerability in sub-Saharan Africa. Using data from the World Development Indicators (WDI) and World Governance Indicators (WGI) of the World Bank for the period 2001 - 2022, the study employs the Generalised Method of Moments to control for endogeneity. The results show that there exists an elastic relationship between voice and accountability and female vulnerability to employment in these sub-regions. It implies that a percentage increase in voice and accountability will result in a 11.9%, 3.07%, 1.08% decrease in female vulnerability to employment in Central, East, West and Southern Africa, respectively. These findings suggest that improving political institutions and reducing corruption could help to promote female entrepreneurship and reduce vulnerability in Sub-Saharan Africa.
