The mother should be encouraged to entrepreneurship, because women have the potential in him. However, many women who do not realize that he also had the same opportunity. Including creating income, not only to support the family economy.

State Minister of Women and Child Protection, Linda Amalia Sari, S. IP, revealed that only 0.8 percent of Indonesia's population of entrepreneurship. In fact, if 2 percent of the total population of entrepreneurial drive, the country could be more advanced. Women, he added, also has the potential and have equal rights to fill these entrepreneurial opportunities.

"Women have the talent, the nature of discipline, loyalty, hard work, and many affect the environment. This could be the capital of women in entrepreneurship," said Linda at the opening of the financial management training to 300 women street vendors, held Prudential Indonesia in Jakarta, Wednesday (14 / 7 / 2010) ago.

The trend, women melakoni any entrepreneur with the ability for driven by economics. When in fact women can undergo self-employment because it has the potential to capture the same opportunities.

According to Linda, the mindset of women needs to be changed to be more developed. Because in reality, many women are not only economic support families with a variety of business, but also acts as the backbone of the family. The principle of equality for women and men need to be understood, for entrepreneurship opportunities for women more wide open.

"The mother is basically an economic wheel drive, as well as sustaining the family economy. It's just the confidence of the mother is not strong, but if the more confident women can be better," Linda said, adding that by understanding the rights of women could be equal with men in terms of education, health, income, up to the task in the family.

This equivalence principle can also encourage women more confidence to develop their potential, said Linda. The most effective way according to Linda, to sensitize all parties on this equality is through education.

"Even changing the mindset by promoting equality should begin from the children, through education," explained Linda told Compass Female, after opening training.

Related to the problem of equality, women are often constrained to women's entrepreneurship as a business form is informal and often not recorded. The contribution of women as economic drivers really great, by selling cookies or other informal trade, said Linda.

"Finally, women do not have access, do not have the capital and lack of assistance for informal businesses that are not recorded," said Linda.

Therefore, continued Linda, the application of disaggregated data for the informal sector is being encouraged governments to support entrepreneurship, including for women. Besides the need for cooperation with the private sector, civil society organizations and women's NGOs to promote independence for more self-confident women entrepreneurship.
