Solidarity

Love and Solidarity Solidarity means “a feeling of unity between people who have the same interests, goals, etc.” (“Human Solidarity and Love”, Web 22/02/2017). In a broader and more inclusive sense, solidarity is “when people consider themselves as one family irrespective of national, racial, ethnic, economic, social and ideological differences; it is when people see themselves as brothers’ and sisters’ keepers” (“USCCB Catholic Social Teaching”, Web 21/02/2017).

state of balance and different systems work together to maintain social solidarity.

NEED OF THE STUDY Women-owned enterprises contribute 3.09 percent of industrial output and employ over 8 million people. Approximately, 78 percent of women enterprises belong to the services sector. Women entrepreneurship is largely skewed towards smaller sized firms, as almost 98 percent of women-owned businesses are micro-enterprises.
