| Currently, there is no comprehensive data on the number of women in the MSME
sector, the size of their enterprises, or their distribution by sector. Only proxies are

have risen to 70 per cent of the informal sector labour force. In a 2000 Economic and
Social Research Foundation (ESRF) study, 55 per cent of the enterprises in the sample
were owned by women (as reported in Mlingi, 2000, p. 89). Swisscontact (2003)
estimated that women owned 43 per cent of MSEs. |
