Abstract
The aim of this article is to introduce and discuss the notion of a comparative study between India and Australia in the area of rural work psychology. It has been argued that there is enormous scope for work psychology to be applied to and contribute to rural development (Dollard et al. 2004). This article explores an aspect of work psychology in the form of personal and economic empowerment of women in rural communities by engaging women in group enterprise. A large body of research taken from developing countries explores entrepreneurial activity using micro-credit to overcome poverty, increase income and enhance well-being. No such comparison study has been introduced amongst indigenous women in Australia. Through the process of case study analysis, the empowerment of rural Indian women engaging in group enterprise is examined. This article explores the scope for future research for the inclusion and examination of indigenous women in income-generating activities within a rural and remote setting.
