Women entrepreneurs, Socio-demographic profile, manufacturing.

Studies have highlighted economic and educational backwardness, social discrimination, and political alienation of women, especially from minority community. However, micro entrepreneurship is a common form of employment among this group. In India, urban self-employment among Muslim women is higher than among women belonging to other religious groups. In this paper, a sample of Muslim women entrepreneurs engaged in the manufacturing sector in Mumbai is studied. They run small scale businesses with distinctive characteristics. Most of these are traditional enterprises involved in manufacturing ‘women specific’ products. Socio-demographic features of Muslim women entrepreneurs such as their age, educational attainment, skill status, marital status, family type, family size are highlighted and studied in relation to their choice of business which is revealed by the type of products manufactured by them. The study reiterates the positive influence of education, skill acquisition and familial support.
