Purpose – This research will design an independent entrepreneurship model through creative economic activities for women. The specific objective to be achieved through this research is to identify the entrepreneurship model for women through creative economy empowerment.

Design/Methodology/Approach – This research was conducted in Lhokseumawe city, with the objects of the research being housewives in Lhokseumawe city. The research method used is as follows: mapping the potential of women’s economic field, identifying creativity activities that can be developed, and determining the selected economic activity.

Findings – The results show that based on the profile of women not working, it is known that they have low educational access and limited income; overall women who are creative economy actors have a high potential in running creative economy.

Research Limitations/Implications – In the creative economy, Triple Helix system became an umbrella that connects the scholars (intellectuals), business, and government within the framework of building a creative economy.

Originality/Value – Empowering women to improve the creative economy by using the Triple Helix model is considered effective because it is like a building that will strengthen the city economy with the foundation, pillars, and roof as the building elements.

The child is at the centre of all Models of Child Health Appraised research and indeed all primary care delivery for children. Appraising models of primary care for children is incomplete without ensuring that experiences of primary care, design, treatment, management and outcomes are optimal for the child. However, the principle of child centricity is not implicit in many healthcare systems and in many aspects of life, yet it is extremely important for optimal child health service design and child health. By exploring the changing concept of ‘childhood’, we understand better the emergence of the current attitude towards children and their role in today’s Europe and the evolution of child rights. Understanding child centricity, and the role of agents acting on behalf of the child, allows us to identify features of children’s primary care systems that uphold the rights of a child to optimum health. This is placed against the legal commitments made by the countries of the European Union and European Economic Area to ensure that children’s rights are respected.

This chapter provides some concluding reflections on the different experiences of structural change encountered by the TARGET partners. The various TARGET partners had different roles in the structural change processes: seven organisations designed, implemented and monitored gender equality plans (GEPs) for the first time, two organisations provided tailored support to implementing institutions and one organisation evaluated GEP implementation. This edited volume provides an account of these diverse experiences of engaging with and catalysing structural change in very different research organisations operating in extremely different contexts both within the EU and beyond. The volume thus contributes to the growing body of literature generated from structural change projects by offering a specific focus on the TARGET approach. The TARGET process of structural change – undertaken through the development and implementation of tailored, evidence-based GEPs – was found to be strengthened through formal top management commitment and by taking a reflexive approach that was powered by communities of practice and supported by financial resources, gender expertise as well as gender and organisational change competences. Engaged institutions thus managed to overcome unfavourable conditions and implement tailor-made, context-specific interventions, some of them in areas at the cutting edge of topics and issues linked to gender equality in research and innovation such as tackling sexual harassment, sustainability and integrating the gender dimension into research content and curricula.
