This research uses a quantitative approach to study the development of women entrepreneurs running small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Jakarta and surrounding areas. This research primarily focuses on the relationship between independent variables, namely, competence, motivation and environment and the business performance as the dependent variable. This research is expected to provide an overview for all parties about the development and involvement of women in the economic field, especially in alleviating poverty in Jakarta. This study uses 200 women entrepreneurs running SMEs as the research respondents. The results of this study indicates that there is an influence of competence of 0.288 (low), the motivation of 0.309 (moderate) and environment of 0.292 (low) on the business performance. We suggest that the government increase the competence of women entrepreneurs and provide more favourable regulation to enhance their business performance in the future.
