Abstract
The study investigates critical thinking behaviours of women micro-entrepreneurs in Ghana by examining how life experience, education, use of internet, social engagement and self-criticism act as antecedents of critical thinking behaviours using age as a mediator. A total of 336 women micro-entrepreneurs were identified in Accra and Tema. Findings reveal that antecedents of critical thinking in developed and developing contexts can vary and age is a mediator that equips women micro-entrepreneurs with knowledge and skills that are useful for critical thinking. The paper contributes to the female entrepreneurship literature that critical thinking among women micro-entrepreneurs can be enhanced as a socially situated practice, emphasising the emergent understanding of critical thinking as embedded within social processes and context.
