EMPREENDEDORISMO SUSTENTÁVEL ENTRE AS MULHERES QUE COMPÕEM O GRUPO CEPPEC

Abstract

The aim of this research is to identify the socio-economic and entrepreneurial profile of women who work in extractive activities with fruits from the Cerrado, who make up the CEPPEC group in the city of Nioaque-MS. CEPPEC is a group made up of a network of women producers from the Cerrado and Pantanal who work in extractive activities with fruits from the Cerrado. To this end, a semi-structured interview script was applied to the women who make up this group, a qualitative survey with 15 respondents. The results show that the majority are over 41 years old and married. Most of the women interviewed have completed elementary school and their income is up to one minimum wage. The women have been extracting fruit from the cerrado for more than five years and chose to pursue this profession for the opportunity of extra income. The vast majority of the women work as a family with their husbands and children.
