Rationale

Text available in

Women with care obligations (e.g. care of children or the elderly) and also women who stopped work to take up maternity leave but are now seeking a way out of a situation in which they are not able to earn their livelihood, experience more obstacles on the labour market than their male colleagues. In addition to a double or triple load as working woman, mother and housewife, women are also much more heavily affected by restrictions on their mobility, among other things.
A study carried out by Verkehrsclub Österreich (VCÖ, a lobby organisation promoting safe, healthy, economic, efficient and environmentally-friendly transport) found that in Austria women spend around 60 million hours a year taking children to school or nursery school and bringing them home again. These chauffeuring activities are often difficult to reconcile with regular work and have the effect of tying the women heavily to the region in which the care is organised.
The more remote the region, the more difficult it is for women to combine work with care obligations. In addition, in rural areas, former industrial regions and border regions, the regional labour market offers few or no work opportunities, while commuting to more distant workplaces is ruled out by the care obligations.
On top of this the intermeshing of social systems and the radical globalisation of economic processes on the labour market is increasingly leading to loose employment arrangements, flexible forms of work and a huge variety of working hours.
These developments are leading increasingly to work situations which, although tailored to an individuals situation, do not pay sufficiently well to maintain an adequate standard of living. (marginal employment status.)
The groups at risk are primarily employees who are unable to develop the adjustment potential and/or potential to change that is/are called for by changes in the world of work. The result is a situation in which women with care obligations are subject to social discrimination due to a number of interacting negative factors (unemployment atypical employment relationships inadequate skills economically and infrastructurally weak border regions).
The ALTERNATIVE: SELBSTSTÄNDIGKEIT [Alternative: Self-employment] development partnership (DP) examines the work and life situations of women with care obligations in the regions who, for example, register as unemployed after the end of their maternity leave entitlement or who are in an atypical employment situation, and develops innovative programmes for these target groups aimed at getting them out of a position of dependence and back into work with a view to securing their livelihood in the long term.
Maternity leave and the labour market
According to a study carried out by the Wirtschaftsforschungsinstituts (Economic Research Institute, WIFO) with the title Loss of income by women with children, author Hedwig Lutz, working women face major obstacles as regards career planning and employment prospects. In the study, WIFO cites the following factors, amongst others:
·Career breaks, followed by difficulties with re-entry
·Personal circumstances of women (as single parent or with a partner)
·Local labour market situation
·Moving to jobs with lower hourly earnings
·Restricted mobility
·Restricted scope for additional earnings

These factors make it more difficult for the women to adapt with regard to factors such as returning to work or founding a business, and as a result attaining a satisfactory level of income. Moreover, time-consuming obligations to provide care for children or the elderly restrict an individuals freedom of action, thus preventing these women from advancing their careers (acquiring further skills and qualifications).
a) Sex-specific obstacles
Due to their multiple workload (care obligations see above, VCÖ study) women are traditionally at a disadvantage both in the labour market and as regards setting up a business. According to the fourth Austrian Family Report, The family between demands and everyday life: on the situation of family and family policy in Austria in 1999, only one-third of mothers manage to resume work as they would wish. One-third are unsuccessful in their attempt to return to paid work, while the remaining third do not even try. This trend has continued.
b) Region-specific obstacles
The more remote the region is from conurbations or industrial centres that are economically sufficiently developed, the more difficult it is for women to obtain regular, adequately paid work to earn their livelihood, to set up a business and/or to reconcile this with the demands of their care obligations. Moreover, in regions with an agrarian structure, in the border regions where the infrastructure is lacking and in regions with sparse industrial activity, the labour market offers little or no employment potential or career prospects.
In these situations, commuting a long way to get to work is not a viable option as it clashes with the care obligations.
Moreover, many of the problem regions (e.g. the provinces of Burgenland, Lower Austria and Styria) were and are structurally at a disadvantage as far as their economic development is concerned. These disadvantages manifested and continue to manifest themselves in a reluctance to invest in infrastructure, industry and business start-ups, and in a lack of business continuity/succession. The consequences of this negative trend have been a steady exodus (drift to the towns), especially of small and medium-sized businesses, plus rising unemployment in these regions.
Although numerous initiatives aiming at strengthening the economy of the problem regions through business settlement, expansion of border traffic and tourism were launched at the beginning of the 1990s, particularly in these areas unemployment and the lack of new start-up businesses remain an enduring problem. Moreover, since the enlargement of the EU the situation in the regional labour market has been further aggravated by the influx of foreign labour (in the tourism, leisure, commerce and construction industries), especially in the border regions.
A high percentage of women are affected by all these factors.

Wiener Neustadt district: female recipients of unemployment benefit 658, recipients of unemployment assistance 622, other female registered unemployed (with and without entitlement to benefits) 270.

Neusiedl district: female recipients of unemployment benefit 236, female recipients of unemployment assistance 131, other female registered unemployed 73
The present situation in the labour market does not support the endeavours of the target group to gain employment. According to AMS statistics dated May 2005, there are only 28,913 registered vacancies in the whole of Austria, whereas the number of registered unemployed stands at 245,809 (of whom 112,721 are women).
It must be emphasised that many women (are forced to) give up their careers (especially after the end of their maternity leave entitlement) in favour of their care obligations. Giving up work in turn causes women to sometimes opt out of occupational life for an extended period, resulting in turn in loss of qualifications and the inability to make an adequate living.
Against the background of the labour market reality outlined above, ALTERNATIVE: SELF-EMPLOYMENT is one possible labour market tool (q.v. evaluation results of the ESFS Prepared parents project; quotation WIFI Eisenstadt consultancy, demand of a young mother to start up a new business because commuting to work cannot be reconciled with care obligations.)
In future years for ever more women of all age groups self-employment will become a valuable and sometimes the only possible way of surviving on the labour market and remaining in the work process or of establishing an alternative to working for someone else which allows them to make an adequate living.
In Austria there are a number of consultancies and means of support to assist people wishing to start up their own businesses, and over the last few years these have resulted in record numbers of start-ups. According to the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber (WKÖ), over 30,000 new businesses are founded every year in Austria. Women account for some 40 percent of these start-ups.
Programmes for new start-ups are offered by the Public Employment Service Austria, the federal economic chambers, banks, building societies and credit institutes within the framework of start-up centres (e.g. the RIZ Network in Lower Austria, the womens start-up service in Styria etc.), the WAFF (Vienna Employees Promotion Fund) and many more. These start-up programmes do not address the special needs of women with care obligations, particularly in regions with high unemployment, and take too little account of their specific circumstances.

Objective

Text available in

·Facilitate the founding of businesses by women with care obligations, with the aim of achieving adequately paid alternatives to self-employment
·Reintegrate women with care obligations into gainful employment
·Provide financial assistance with the setting up of new businesses to particular target groups

It should be noted that women with care obligations are particularly wary of taking the step towards self-employment because access to self-employment, with its administrative, legislative and organisational framework conditions, constitutes a hurdle.
Precisely for women with care obligations, setting up a business is only possible against the context of family environment region. In order to be able to learn from the experiences of self-employed women with care obligations, a mentoring programme is to be introduced.
To this end it is necessary
·to create easily accessible advisory services
·to offer flexible and mobile advice
·to apply alternative and creative forms of localising business ideas
·to assess qualifications, skills and potentials
·to develop business plans that take equal account of family framework conditions
·to examine the market situation, including e-business opportunities, direct commerce and trading opportunities close to the border
·to address the question of childcare requirements and come up with a variety of opportunities
·to offer and implement local opportunities for acquiring qualifications
·to recruit mentors for women seeking to start up in business
·to establish regional networking of women starting up businesses
·to promote supraregional networking of small businesswomen
·to draw up and implement legal standard agreements
·to develop new financing models
·to make business and loan advisers aware of the specific requirements of women with care obligations who are seeking to start up a business
·to disseminate the results throughout Austria

The sustainable anchoring of the new approaches to the provision of advice and the acquisition of skills that need to be developed for the effective provision of advice on start-ups will be ensured by the development partners, especially by the economic chambers and their Woman in business sections.
The Development Partnership pursues a holistic approach. All partners participate in strategic and operative activities on an equal footing, the experience and expertise of all the partners are pooled, synergy effects are exploited and the results are made available to all the partners.
When it comes to developing and implementing the activities and measures, partners and those affected are kept informed and actively integrated in a regular, structured process.
This cooperation creates and uses synergies in resources, groups together different experiences and know-how and promotes the development of innovative approaches (e.g. financing, work-life business plans), especially when it comes to sectoral dissemination and utilisation (sustainability) of regionally generated results.
Information and experience from the thematic networking and from transnational co-operation offer additional value to the partners and target group. All relevant information is communicated via the DP information channels and flows into the implementation work in the modules.
Consultation: clarification and information
Within the DP, target group oriented awareness raising and information work are foremost amongst the activities which, on the basis of awareness-raising measures, are intended to introduce an individual experiential process for occupational independence which is tailored to the needs of the target group and enables those concerned to correctly assess the opportunities and challenges.
Advance information about the DP will be initiated through regional multipliers and co-operation with municipalities, clubs, associations and womens discussion groups.
To this end, existing start-up programmes will be scrutinised and analysed and target group-specific documentation developed for an information campaign so as to enable the interests and needs of the target groups to be categorised in the course of a selection process.
1.Interested women with care obligations will be informed about the content and opportunities available from joining the DP programme in regional information events, at which childcare is offered. Some 550 women participants (target figure) will be addressed in these regional information events. Project experience to date suggests that few specific questions are raised at information events, as the information has to be digested before questions on the subject emerge.
2.Hence, a week after the first information event, a second event will be held at which more detailed project information will be provided, with a greater emphasis on discussion, questions and initial counselling. This phase will pave the way forwards.
3.From the group of interested women who attend the second information event, around 200 interested women with care obligations, spread across the individual regions, will be identified following initial discussions.
4.In subsequent work with the interested women with care obligations, five groups will emerge in the individual regions, as follows.

Group I
Women with care obligations who basically want information on alternatives to working as an employee but who do not yet want to make this step. This group can be given general information on parenting, partnerships, general information on how to combine family and career, and support with a special focus on single parents. These women will be entered in an information database and will receive regular information about the results and findings of the DP.

Group II
Women with care obligations who want to return to their old job but do not know exactly how they can combine family commitments with work. This group can be given information and materials from the ESFs Prepared Parents project so that they can fully prepare for a return to work. Single parents will be offered a specific consultation.

Group III
Women with care obligations who would like to work again, but who are seeking work as an employee of a business in the region. Here it is a matter of establishing a connection with the regional AMS offices. In cases where prospects appear negative, these women with care obligations will attend consultations and advisory workshops within the framework of the project.

Group IV
Women with care obligations who are in two minds as to whether they should (continue to) seek work, either as an employee or self-employed. In every case there will be a desire for independent gainful employment. These women will be invited to attend the consultations and advisory workshops.

Group V
Women with care obligations who are seeking work on a self-employed basis.

In the course of the wide-ranging information activities, around 550 mothers will be identified, of whom about 400 will attend a regional information event. Around 300 mothers will attend the second, more detailed information event, of whom about 200 will receive in-depth advice. At the end of the various creative group and individual advisory sessions and environment analysis, there should be about 70 women (target figure) who want to attempt to set up in business. These 70 women will receive guidance with the creation of a work-life business plan specially developed for this target group. After that it will be a matter of drawing up a tailored skills acquisition plan on the basis of an analysis of potential, through which the women can be told about the personal and technical skills that they lack. The would-be founders of new businesses will create their own homepage, information for the press, folder text and layout plus business cards, letterheads etc. so as to enable them to make a professional start to their self-employment. The homepages should as far as possible be adaptable on an individual basis.
The 70 women with care obligations who are interested in setting up a business will subsequently develop a tailored work-life business plan under the auspices of the DP. In this way, family commitments will be fully integrated into planning planning over several years with family milestones identification of alternative support scenarios in both the private and entrepreneurial areas. According to an analysis carried out by Claudia Frank, responsible for sponsoring young entrepreneurs at the Austria Wirtschaftsservice-Gesellschaft (AWS), and reported at an event on 29 July 2004 in Vienna, Women founders of a business are more aware of the risks, especially in the financing area, and have a more considered approach to preparation, but in many cases they do not have a long-term view. It is intended that this shortcoming should be countered by this DP through short-term, medium-term and long-term planning.
Alternative action variants need to be identified so as to provide protection in case of illness, notably through networking amongst the start-up businesswomen and other women entrepreneurs in the region who are able/willing to step in in the event of illness and thus fill the gap at the right time. For this form of networked cooperation, a legally based standard agreement will be drawn up on the basis of the experience of the Woman in Business sections, with the aim of formalising the interests and expenses of both the sick entrepreneur and the entrepreneur who comes to the rescue.
Comprehensive guidance and support from entrepreneurs who are already successful will be provided through the establishment of a mixed community of mentors.
Implementation of this will require co-operation with the relevant AMS offices so that the possibility of AMS business start-up support can be taken up and the mothers can have the assurance that their needs will be protected from a social legislation point of view during the start-up phase.
Under the AMS business start-up programme, women who have made claims under unemployment insurance cover will be able to acquire specific qualifications on the basis of the work-life business plan. It will be possible to gain the occupational competence that is lacking for setting up a new business under the qualification module assuming that this is not covered by the AMS. With regard to the acquisition of skills, the DP will also make it possible for women to obtain practical work experience with companies.
Financial issues are amongst the trickiest aspects of starting up a new business. To draw on the widest possible range of experience and enable different target groups to be specifically addressed,
·an Austria-wide survey of persons who have set up a new business in the last 3-5 years will be conducted along with
·an international comparative analysis of offerings and frameworks in the area of microloans; this can then serve as the basis for developing specific, flexible small loan offerings for women founding new businesses.
·In addition, the subject of micro lending will be addressed within the framework of both the thematic networking and the transnational cooperation, and targeted findings will flow into the DPs implementation work.
As soon as the start-up idea has reached maturity and all the necessary skills have been obtained, appropriate financial advice will be offered by DP partners (Raiffeisenbank Burgenland, AWS). Here, flexible microloan variants tailored to individual requirements will be developed and offered.

Der innovative Charakter der EP ALTERNATIVE:SELBSTSTÄNDIGKEIT zu bereits bestehenden Unternehmens-gründungsprogrammen besteht in der Berücksichtigung der individuellen familiären sowie der regionalen und wirtschaftlichen Situationen der Betroffenen der Zielgruppen mittels gruppendynamischer Beratung und Sondierung sowie der Erarbeitung eines auf die Nachhaltigkeit und Existenzsicherung abgestimmten Business-Plans unter Berücksichtigung der regionalen, arbeitsmarktpolitischen Gegebenheiten für Frauen mit Betreuungspflichten im besonderen Hinblick auf eine existenzsichernde selbstständige Tätigkeit.

AMS-Unternehmensgründungsprogramm: Zu Beginn der Vorbereitungsphase im Rahmen des AMS-Unternehmensgründungsprogramms muss eine Arbeitslosigkeit vorliegen. Das ist im Zuge der EP nicht erforderlich, da Frauen mit Betreuungspflichten noch während des Bezuges von Kinderbetreuungsgeld erreicht werden sollen. Weitere Voraussetzung für die Teilnahme am AMS-Unternehmensgründungsprogramm ist es, dass eine konkrete Gründungsidee bzw. ein Gründungsplan vorzulegen ist. Junge Mütter sind in den meisten Fällen von sich aus nicht in der Lage, eine schlüssige Gründungsidee aufzubereiten und vorzustellen, da ihre Ideen bestenfalls als vage Wünsche bestehen. Viele Teilnehmerinnen von ALTERNATIVE: SELBSTSTÄNDIGKEIT werden voraussichtlich bisher nur wenige Gedanken in die Gründung eines Unternehmens investiert haben. Die meisten Frauen werden sich jedenfalls noch nicht oder nicht intensiv mit dieser Möglichkeit auseinandergesetzt haben. Weiters wird im Rahmen des AMS-Gründungsprogramms lediglich die Unternehmensidee und die Umsetzung dieser Idee begleitet die Diskussion von Alternativen und die Miteinbeziehung aller Lebensbereiche in den Aufbau der Unternehmensstrategie bleibt im Hintergrund. Gerade die regionalen, finanziellen (Mikrokredite) und familiären Belange sind aber zentrale Bereiche, die über Erfolg oder Misserfolg der Unternehmensgründung entscheiden und denen daher in der EP zentrale Bedeutung beigemessen wird.
Bei der Gründungsberatung der Wirtschaftskammern liegt das Hauptaugenmerk auf rechtlicher und betriebswirtschaftlicher Beratung. Eine geschlechtersensible Beratung ist bisher nicht vorgenommen worden, eine Berücksichtigung der Frage: Wie die Unternehmensgründung mit Familie vereinbar ist?, ist bisher nicht vorgesehen. Die langjährigen Erfahrungen der WK-Gründerinnenberatung werden in die EP einfließen und auf diesen Erfahrungen wird aufgebaut.

WAFF Eine besondere Stellung nimmt die Gründerinnenberatung durch den WAFF ein. Hier wird Frauen ein differenziertes Angebot an Beratung und Betreuung gemacht, das es Gründerinnen sicher erleichtert, ein Unternehmen zu eröffnen. Diese Aktivitäten beschränken sich auf den Wiener Raum und entfalten ihre Wirkung daher nicht in den abgelegenen ländlichen Regionen, in denen die Beratungs- und Qualifizierungsaktivitäten der EP umgesetzt werden.

Gründer/innenzentren Die Beratung und Unterstützung von Frauen bei der Unternehmensgründung wurde durch Gründer/innenzentren deutlich verbessert. Jene Zentren, die sich auf die Unterstützung von Gründerinnen spezialisiert haben, liegen allerdings eher in zentralen Lagen, weshalb Frauen in ländlichen Regionen oder Grenzgebieten benachteiligt sind. Für Mütter kommt noch dazu, dass sie in ihrer Mobilität eingeschränkt sine, weshalb die guten Angebote der Gründer/innenzentren die Zielgruppe der EP nicht erreichen. Ebenso wie bei der AMS-Unternehmensgründung gilt es auch bei Gründer/inenzentren, dass eine Grundidee vorhanden sein muss. Die Phase der Ideenfindung und Klärung der Vereinbarkeit mit der Familie muss daher im Vorfeld abgeschlossen sein.

Bei Gründer/innenberatungen der Banken, Sparkassen, Kreditinstitute ist i.d.R. ein sehr differenzierter Businessplan vorzulegen, was sich für Mütter als große Hürde herausstellt. Im Mittelpunkt der Beratungsgespräche steht die notwendige Finanzierung der Geschäftsidee mit allen Fragen der Besicherung. Erschwert werden solche Gespräche durch idR geringes Eigenkapital der Gründerinnen und Anforderungen aus Basel II. Solche Gespräche werden von Frauen häufig als Kanossagang empfunden.

Alle beteiligten EP-Partner handeln nach dem Prinzip der integrativen Kooperation, d.h. sie entwickeln und entscheiden gleichberechtigt;
Entscheidungen werden aktiv mitgestaltet; gewonnene Erfahrungen, (Kern-)Kompetenzen, (Gegen-)Argumente und methodischen Lösungsansätze werden einerseits von den Partner/innen eingebracht, andererseits von den anderen EP Partnern als Mehrwert bzw. als Synergie genutzt (innerhalb der EP sowie zukünftig als Mehrwertnutzen in den eigenen Geschäftsfeldern). Entscheidungsfindungen innerhalb der EP erfolgen nach dem Mehrheitsprinzip. Es werden Lenkungs- und Steuerungsgremien etabliert (mit Stellvertretungs-regelungen), die die Handlungsabläufe auf der Gesamtebene sowie auf der operativen Ebene (Module) strukturiert steuern.

Ziel ist es, die interaktiven Prozesse zwischen den Partner/innen so zu koordinieren, dass sie zu einer Intensivierung eines gegen- und wechselseitigen Wissens- und Erfahrungsaustauschs und -transfers beitragen. Die aktive Einbindung der strategischen Partner in die Entwicklung der EP soll vor allem unter dem Aspekt der Nachhaltigkeit gesehen werden.
