Female Entrepreneurship Series

I am a passionate writer about females in business. So when it was time to write my Bachelor's thesis, I saw a somewhat tedious task as an opportunity to conduct research on a women2business-related topic. The title of my thesis is “Gender and Social Entrepreneurship”. I wanted to find out if there were gender differences between social businesses founded by women vs. men. It was an interesting topic to research on, and what made it even better is that I knew I could use some of the material for women2business.

Status Quo of Female Entrepreneurship 

To give you some background information on women in entrepreneurship and why this topic is so important to us: worldwide, there are still about twice as many male as female entrepreneurs. In pursuit of gender equality, the number of male and female entrepreneurs should be the same. What might be holding women back in founding their own business? This is a complex question to answer as the prevailing circumstances for female entrepreneurs differ greatly among countries.

However, one of the most striking research findings in my thesis is that women are significantly less confident about their ability to found and lead a business; the literature supports this finding. Are similar doubts holding you back from following through with your business idea?
