Quantifying Gender Inequality in Senegalese Informal Sector Business Ownership in Egypt,

This research aims to quantify gender inequality in Senegalese informal sector business ownership within Egyptian contexts over a decade. A comprehensive survey was conducted employing structured questionnaires distributed among a stratified sample of male and female entrepreneurs from both countries. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics to quantify disparities in ownership rates. The analysis revealed a significant gender gap favoring males, with women accounting for only 25% of business owners across the examined period. The findings underscore persistent gender inequalities within Senegalese informal sector business environments and highlight the need for targeted interventions to promote gender equity. Policy recommendations include fostering entrepreneurship programmes specifically aimed at female participants, alongside enhanced access to financial resources and support services.
