| Sumario: | Nowadays, the practice of entrepreneurship in many countries is no longer restricted to men only but has opened wider areas for women’s participation. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Annual Report 2021 indicated that participation rates in entrepreneurial activities are close between men and women in 49 countries, and the reason for this convergence is due in large part to government support. In this context, we try in this chapter to highlight the importance of women’s entrepreneurship and its impact on economic development, and then to determine the extent to which government support contributes to the promotion of women’s entrepreneurship in Algeria. In this chapter, the various supportive bodies established by the Algerian state to stimulate entrepreneurship, especially women’s, are addressed, where we find the Microcredit Agency, the National Agency for the Development of Entrepreneurship, the National Fund for Unemployment Insurance, and the National Agency for Investment Development. It should be noted that these bodies work in integrated coordination with each other to identify the different women’s projects, whatever their specificities and areas of investment in them. A conceptual model has also been designed to simplify understanding of the topic. |
