Economic and Demographic Drivers of Women Entrepreneurs in the Indonesian Textile Market

Women who actively participate in micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) can gain empowerment, reduce economic disparities, and improve their living conditions, encouraging more women to become involved in economic activities. This study aims to compare the role of women entrepreneurs in the textile sector, examining demographic and economic aspects that influence the turnover of women entrepreneurs in Klewer Market, Surakarta, and Beringharjo, Yogyakarta. The study included 300 sellers, and the data was processed using multiple linear regression, which was then further evaluated utilizing mosaic display orange data mining. The study's findings indicate that demographic and economic factors influencing the turnover of women entrepreneurs differ in both areas. Women entrepreneurs with substantial money, high-quality education, and self-actualization through women's empowerment are deemed more competitive in terms of sales turnover. Gender equality through women's empowerment is the fifth goal of the Sustainable Development Goals, which can be achieved through active support and collaboration to attain independent and transformative competitiveness.
