Determinants of Economic Stability Among Indigenous Women in San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuato

Abstract

The objective of this study was to analyze how leadership, business opportunities, access to financing, education, and training influence the economic stability of Indigenous women entrepreneurs in the state of Guanajuato. A questionnaire was administered to a sample of 41 women, and a multiple linear regression model (EEEISMA) was estimated based on the responses. The data show that business opportunities and leadership are the most influential factors, while financing, education, and training have positive, though not statistically significant, effects in the model. The adjusted coefficient of determination is 0.237, and the overall model is statistically significant (F = 3.95, p < 0.01). It is concluded that the EEEISMA model constitutes an empirical tool for guiding public policies on economic inclusion and Indigenous entrepreneurship that can contribute to achieving the 2030 Agenda, particularly SDGs 1, 2, 4, and 8.
