The analysis is based on recent theoretical ideas that have been supported by empirical research findings. The paper depicts an analytical framework based on institutional theory, which focuses on three kinds of factors: regulative, normative and cognitive. Regulative factors refer to different rules and regulations of the Government that facilitate women entrepreneurship development in rural Bangladesh. Normative and cognitive factors include norms, rules, regulation and values of society. Based on the analysis of these factors, the paper provides many significant policy implications on how to improve women entrepreneurship development in rural Bangladesh. 000014479 653__ $$aBangladesh 000014479 653__ $$adevelopment 000014479 653__ $$agender 000014479 653__ $$apolicy 000014479 653__ $$aresearch 000014479 653__ $$awomen 000014479 650__ $$aMountain livelihoods 000014479 650__ $$aPoverty and food security 000014479 650__ $$aMountain people/cultures 000014479 650__ $$aPolicies and governance 000014479 650__ $$aGender and equity 000014479 691__ $$aMountain livelihoods 000014479 691__ $$aPoverty and food security 000014479 691__ $$aMountain people/cultures 000014479 691__ $$aPolicies and governance 000014479 691__ $$aGender and equity 000014479 773__ $$p 000014479 8564_ $$uhttp://lib.icimod.org/record/14479/files/4598.PDF 000014479 980__ $$aREPORT
