The challenges faced by women in rural areas when starting an entrepreneurial project include both personal and social aspects, such as family conciliation or the lack of socialisation to take risks, as well as labour, institutional and financial aspects. This is the result of the diagnosis elaborated by the Research Group "Gender, Health and Work - GeST" of the Universitat Jaume I, coordinated by the lecturer Eva Cifre Gallego, for the study carried out by the Provincial Council of Castelló.

Overcoming these challenges and seeking collaborative solutions that favour women's entrepreneurship in the rural environment was the main objective of the conference "Women entrepreneurs in the rural environment of the province of Castelló: diagnosis of the obstacles and facilitators of their entrepreneurship and well-being" that took place in the Provincial Council during the morning and which allowed a dialogue between all the social agents involved (politicians, technicians and entrepreneurs) in the research of strategies that allow them to overcome these challenges.  
  
The diagnosis and the conference are part of the collaboration agreement signed before the summer between Castelló Provincial Council and the public university of Castelló to analyse the state of female entrepreneurship in rural areas and its relationship with women's well-being. The project is mainly focused on women entrepreneurs in rural municipalities with a population of less than 5,000 inhabitants.

In 2019 in Spain, women in municipalities with less than 5,000 inhabitants accounted for 48.8% of the population and 12% of all women in the country. The rural labour market is characterised by a low employment rate (higher in the case of women), high salarisation and a marked tertiary economy. The majority of women earn between 400 and 1,000 euros, while men earn between 1,000 and 1,400 euros. In addition, there is a higher male presence among rural entrepreneurs.
