Percepciones de mujeres mayores de 60 años sobre sus trayectorias en el emprendimiento
Resumen
En un contexto donde el envejecimiento de la población femenina avanza con limitadas políticas públicas y mecanismos de protección social, el emprendimiento se ha convertido en una estrategia relevante para que muchas mujeres mayores sostengan su autonomía económica. Este estudio analiza las percepciones de mujeres mayores de 60 años en torno a sus trayectorias emprendedoras, considerando sus motivos para iniciar un negocio, los beneficios obtenidos, el apoyo familiar, experiencias de discriminación por edad, habilidades desarrolladas, retos enfrentados, la influencia de la pareja, su percepción sobre la necesidad de demostrar mayor capacidad que los hombres y sus consejos hacia otras mujeres que enfrentan violencia de género. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo basado en entrevistas semiestructuradas aplicadas a 17 mujeres con micronegocios activos. El análisis se realizó mediante el software Atlas.ti, que permitió codificar, organizar e interpretar los datos. Los hallazgos muestran que el emprendimiento surgió principalmente por necesidad económica y ha fortalecido su autoestima, autonomía y capacidad de decisión. Las participantes enfrentan barreras como discriminación por edad, falta de apoyo familiar, escaso acceso a tecnología y recursos financieros. Se concluye que el emprendimiento es una vía viable de sustento; sin embargo, se requieren políticas públicas con perspectiva de género y perspectiva sobre el envejecimiento que atiendan las desigualdades asociadas tanto a la edad como al género para garantizar un envejecimiento digno y activo.
