In Mexico, women tend to be overrepresented in the category of microentrepreneurs, who often have limited access to productive resources and networks. The report addresses two fundamental issues. First, it addresses the issue of how to improve performance and profitability. The second issue focuses on the drivers and the implications of sectoral barriers to women entrepreneurs. For each one of these interventions, the report examines their cost-effectiveness and return on investment (ROI). Both programs exhibit high ROI. Based on the findings, this report concludes that both programs should be available as part of a larger portfolio of interventions to support women with small enterprises. 2022-04-20T15:15:26Z 2022-04-20T15:15:26Z 2021 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/099525504132213994/P16567207494990970a833077c789e6d856 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/37323 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank Washington, DC Report Latin America & Caribbean Mexico
