    Investigating Entrepreneurship And The Human Development Paradigm- A Capability Approach. A Case Study Of Saturday Market Entrepreneurs In Chipata District
    (University of Lusaka, 2024) Mutinta Kanene
    This study investigated the role of entrepreneurship on human development and capabilities, focusing specifically on entrepreneurs at the Chipata Saturday market in Zambia. Utilizing the Capability Approach (CA) as the theoretical lens, the research examined how entrepreneurial activities enhanced individual capabilities and contributed to the broader welfare of society. The study adopted a qualitative methodology, using detailed interviews and a validation focus group feedback workshop to gather comprehensive insights from entrepreneurs. It revealed that entrepreneurship played a significant role in improving living standards, notably in areas such as housing, education, and health. The findings indicated that successful entrepreneurship allowed individuals to pursue lifestyles of their choosing and significantly expanded their agency. However, the study also uncovered several challenges that limited human development, including restricted access to market outlets, institutional and regulatory constraints, and the influence of traditional and cultural norms. The research concluded by offering nuanced recommendations for tailored government support, improved infrastructure, legal reforms for gender equality, and collaborative efforts between the public, private, and civil society sectors to provide training and support networks for entrepreneurs, fostering an environment that promotes their success and societal welfare.
