    From mothers to daughters: gendered informality transfer in micro-entrepreneur women
    (2024) Inostroza, M. Alejandra; Sepulveda, Jorge; Montenegro, Brian
    This article aims to examine the transfer of informality from mothers to daughters in a group of women who get financial help from a community aid and social development foundation. By administering a questionnaire to a cohort of 1156 female microentrepreneurs in Chile throughout 2021, the findings reveal that having a mother who was employed in the informal sector is linked to a 27% higher likelihood of being engaged in informal economic activities, compared to individuals whose mothers were part of the formal economy. Furthermore, compelling data is presented regarding the significance of education and the adverse impact of parenthood on women. The outcomes yield significant contributions in terms of theory, practice, and particularly public policy.
