CHONG GONZALEZ, Elizabeth Guadalupe  and  PEREZ PINA, Yosilin. Female Economic Participation and Entrepreneurship in the State of Nayarit, Mexico. rev.univ.empresa [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.36, pp.36-60. ISSN 0124-4639.  https://doi.org/10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/empresa/a.5988.

Based on statistical information from the censuses and the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (gem), the main objective of this work is to know the economic activities developed by the female population of Nayarit; likewise it is to identify the changes they present in their labor market, in order to know the main occupations that they develop, their occupational situation, as well as their participation in the entrepreneurial activity. The results indicate that between 1970 and 1990, women participated significantly in activities related to the primary sector, however the activities of the tertiary sector have become more relevant. With regard to the situation at work, the women of the study were mostly salaried and self-employed workers, in some cases the latter have strengthened their business, thus becoming employers, a fact that emphases entrepreneurship as one of the changes in the current labor market.

Keywords : Labor market; employed population; women's economic participation; self-employment and entrepreneurship.
