Abstract

The main objective of this paper is to assess the impact of digital technologies on the entrepreneurial output of Muslim women in Indonesia. Using a questionnaire, we collected data from Muslim women entrepreneurs involved in digital entrepreneurship in Depok city. We applied multiple linear regression to analyze the data. We found that the use of e-commerce platforms and internet services affects positively the entrepreneurship growth of Muslim women in Indonesia. However, online payments have been found non-significant because of awareness of risk and security towards online payment system. One of the limitations of this research is the size of the sample. Obtaining data from Muslim women entrepreneurs was very difficult. Again, the case under study is limited to one country. Therefore, it is recommended for future research to use a large sample size and include more countries. Indonesian government should implement tax reduction policies in order to improve the growing sector of Muslim women entrepreneurs, which can help them to become empowered in society.
