Business Women Here To Stay

By Vicki Irvin

History has many stories to tell and lessons to teach. Perhaps the greatest lesson that ought to be learnt is to acknowledge women and admit that they are the just as competitive and capable as men are. To some extent there has been a shift in the scales towards equality but this is just tip of the ice berg.

The fall outs of women not having business opportunities have been loss of valuable growth. That apart there is know a wave of thought in the society that has come to single out men as the root cause of many problems that had waylaid the world. Economic, environmental and health problems that the human society had faced is being attributed to the dominance of men. The call for change of things has been getting stronger yet the result of change is still not as strong as they should be.

But despite the odds against women, they have proved themselves to be worthy competition. For a prosperous world, there should be no gender competition. Nevertheless it is a battlefield especially for women and they have conquered ever industry.

About 50 percent of the global work force is women. The majority of demand for any product, specifically the house hold products, comes from women. Since women are actually major players in the economy, it makes no sense to shun them.

Women are particularly very active on the Internet. Most women working on the Internet work from home. Until recently it was the home maker's domain but now women with full time jobs are turning to it as it is easy to own an Internet business. Internet marketing and advertising has considerable women presence. Writing is also an attractive option. Many women own writing firms and they also do write.

Apart from the Internet, the real world contribution of women is a testimonial to their capabilities. Women owned businesses annually contribute more than a fifth to the global economy. In most developing countries, the small scale industrial sector is the backbone of the economy. Most of the small businesses are women owned. This way they are the main stay behind developing economies.
