The Role of Mobiles and Women in the Sustainable Local Economic Development

Abstract

Mobile technology can set the ground for creating trusted communities that provide valuable guidance on new partnerships as well as alternative business models. Such business models encompass women’s entrepreneurship adapted to the Agenda 2030 for sustainable development. In addition, small and medium-sized enterprises' growth strongly depends on mobile marketing to prolong the life cycle of a product as well as mobile financial services to give them a global network. Therefore, mobile technology advancement as well as local community services and peer-to-peer support initiatives can assist women to grow their business, enhance gender equality and provide long-term economic stability for a country.
