title:

Rec 5. Explore income generating activities beyond the traditional single owned business and the wage employment. Models like small production units supporting local value chains and economic clusters (cooperatives) can lead to positive results as it removes the burden of managing the business by one individual and show more resilience in face of volatile markets and economic situation. Moreover, new models like factories hiring women from home as unconventional wage-employment model can be explored. Yet, those models should be introduced after a thorough study of the local markets and impeded power dynamics. Also, sectoral targeting of sectors with intensive women as labour force and assessment and development of those sectors may lead to more focused wage-employment results. Furthermore, this should be complemented by careful market assessments to understand the local market and which types of businesses are most likely to be viable in the village. Trainings should include clear recommendations on where business needs may exist and which sectors are already saturated.
