Summary

Introduction

In both Bangladesh's urban and rural areas, SME women entrepreneurs have emerged as a new class. Bangladesh is, in reality, considered to be a very recent phenomenon of entrepreneurial women or women in industry. While women are committed to entrepreneurship in many difficult fields, their operations in Bangladesh are not very large (Ahammad, 2013; Zaman, 2013). Women have succeeded in industry, despite fewer resources, but they are still limited in number. An unprecedented rising interest in women's entrepreneurship in small businesses has been observed in Bangladesh (Bosri, 2016). For a country like Bangladesh, which is labor abundant and capital scarce, SMEs have a natural comparative advantage and creates opportunity for women (Chowdhury et al, 2015)
