We need all sort of help from the state, everybody is in life support, unable to do anything except locking up in basement, on the bed and totally unable to leave the bed, only allowed to neet their life away on what they think is legal for you to do. Pay taxes? Of course when they impose taxes on goods, it also means kid have to pay taxes too when they consume, no job and no income? That is legal but don't forget to pay taxes.

Point of correction OP, in this present day, entrepreneurs shouldn't talk about competition but collaboration. That is how I see it. So I would say that what I see is that the entrepreneurship sector or field is opening up to the female gender and what we would see is that there would be more collaborations between male and female entrepreneurs than competition because that is how to build a successful business.
Collaboration is the keyword.

In this present time, women are not behind in any way compared to men. Women are working in harmony with men inside and outside the home. Women are doing the same things that men are doing successfully. Nowadays women are directly connected with various business organizations. Currently we are seeing more women entrepreneurs than men. The main reason for women's upliftment is to ensure adequate opportunities for women compared to men. Governments of almost every country are providing various opportunities to women for the advancement of women as a result of which women are now working in tandem with men. Earlier the number of female sergeants was very less but now the number of female sergeants has increased a lot. Earlier girls did not take construction as a profession but now girls are taking construction as their profession which means women have now advanced in all aspects.

It is possible that women might dominate entrepreneurship due to the fact that women nowadays is given equal rights same as men. Women today are independent and now can provide more to the family while being a homemaker.

You are talking about "some" of the nations, sure in the western world it's like that, but in some other nations it's not like that at all. I have seen nations where a whole family of boys grow up and marry woman and they all live in the same house and they end up working all together, which allows the woman only to cook and clean the house, and the men to go out and earn money. They do end up making a good chunk of money that way because it's all together, but at the same time it's not freedom that we are talking about for woman in that case.

This is why I believe that it's going to be a bit harder to make it work, it's going to cause a bit of trouble and when that is an issue we are going to just look at west and say how lovely that is, but that's just one part of the world.

There’s a book that recently launched by CNBC correspondent Julia Boorstin call “ When Women Lead”, which I think is a great book for anyone interested in this topic, and learning about how women “lead” in business , which also looks in to how women are often overlooked and undervalued/underpaid.

“About the Book
Julia Boorstin was thirteen when her mother told her that, by the time she grew up, women could be just as powerful as men, “captains of industry, running the biggest companies!” A decade later, working at a top business publication and seeing the dearth of women in positions of leadership, Boorstin assumed her mom had been wrong. But over the following two decades as a TV reporter and creator of CNBC’s Disruptor 50 franchise, interviewing, and studying thousands of executives, she realized that a gender-equity utopia shouldn’t be a pipe dream. Yes, women faced massive social and institutional headwinds, and struggled with double standards and what psychologists call “pattern matching.” Yet those who thrived, Boorstin found, shared key commonalities that made them uniquely equipped to lead, grow businesses, and navigate crises. They were highly adaptive to change, deeply empathetic in their management style, and much more likely to integrate diverse points of view into their business strategies, filling voids that their male counterparts had overlooked for generations. By utilizing those strengths, they had invented new business models, disrupted industries, and made massive profits along the way”. - https://juliaboorstin.com/the-book/

Gender inequality and discrimination is something that wont really be something shocking or new thing on this world and whenever genre or area on which women is something that been looked down but we know that
there are certain industries on which women is really that something successful compared to men which does proves out that gender isnt a hindrance.Certain industries and companies have really that women been the ones who had been that handling on which means that it isnt really that limited on what they can do.It is really just that the community is really that too judgmental when it comes to gender on which they do
believe that women cant do anything and this is why they would really be having this common saying but they had proven out them wrong. Lots had been success on different fields
and this is why it isnt really right on having this kind of treatment to them.

True they are different in gender but they are both human.  They have the capacity to think and decide things for themselves.  They have traits which somehow the same and different but I do not think that gender dictates the success of a person being an entrepreneur.  There are women who excel in one category while males excel in other categories and this rating changes between gender every year.  This simply means that gender is not the based for entrepreneurship but rather the dedication and passion of a person towards his goal.

Actually these are two important things for men who are not yet married to a woman, because he must be able to have a better job and also be more mature to continue his life at a slightly different level than before. Because someone who doesn't have a business in his life, it will be easier for him to get into trouble than happiness in his life because he not only has to be able to support himself, but also has to be able to support his own wife with the daily necessities.

In many countries there is a very systemic problem - the inability of the state to provide an acceptable level of social support to the population. This is pensions, this is medicine, this is financial and other support for the poor, etc.
The reason, one of the main reasons, is low tax revenues (there are many more reasons, in fact). Therefore, some states begin to "hint" - let's become entrepreneurs, continue not to pay taxes or pay the most minimal ones, and COVER your low-income or needy relatives by yourselves, and we have no money.....

If there are not enough insane men to be great enough in capitalism, business, and entrepreneurship then obviously women will fill up those positions. Though gender is not a denominator for a success of a company there are already facts from those studies and related research on it.



But agree it or not, the financial system and businesses are dominated by men. Those policies and the culture are often favorable to men. Competition is real. Not only to gender but also in other aspect of demographic profile of every business owners.

Men usually don't have the patience to develop a business and often men feel bored in going through the long process of running a business. In contrast to women who have a level of patience in going through the process because the level of patience of men and women is very different. However, there is a level of limitation that women have, where we often see them being too slow in lobbying and in making measurable movements, so that certain limits men move much faster than women.

Women are limited to business development and perhaps most of them are better able to handle clothing stores and another smaller business. But when talking about business on a much larger scale, speaking ability of men is much better than women because the space for movement is easier and more coordinated. At least that's what I see and generally what happens like this in real practice in the area where I live now.

I have one question. You make it sound like you're talking about something unusual. It's like "a blind man painting a picture"... And what do you think women are so different from men that the fact that they successfully create, manage and lead a business to success is presented as something unusual?! Aren't women the same people as men? Do they have limited intellectual abilities ? Are they incapable of creating a business ? Why is the woman businessman presented almost as a "miracle" ? And in developed countries this has been the norm for many decades and no one pays attention to it. In the developed world - THIS IS THE NORM !

The more technology develops, the greater the opportunities for doing business, women can have careers with small businesses that are built using the facilities available on social media. Human rights have given equality to men and women in careers through entrepreneurship and politics, in several countries there are so many women who occupy parliament and some have even been president.
Women have a selling point in doing business compared to men, their appearance has an attractiveness that can increase the number of consumers, this is common in various countries. Not infrequently women are also used as media for product promotion from a company, women can be a threat to men in doing business. In the area where I live, there are many female entrepreneurs who employ men. This phenomenon cannot be denied. Women have transformed well in improving the economy.

All of these things are not impossible to happen. Because nowadays women have a wider role in all aspects, just like a man. Because keep in mind not only men who want to own a business and become a boss. There must be women who have the same thoughts as that. Indeed, in the majority, in the end, a woman will definitely end up being a housewife. But that doesn't mean that being a housewife will prevent a woman from becoming a leader in a company.
Then not only that, in the world of education there are many women who major in business. This means that it is clear that women also have the desire to compete in business and do not want to be outdone by men.

Especially when the economic situation is declining, surely women also want to be able to make a lot of money with the abilities and skills they have. But even so men do not need to worry about it. Because when it comes to competition in business, whether it's with men or with women, basically it's all the same. The most important thing is to keep innovating and don't want to lose in the competition.

Because basically, we live on this earth, never escape the name of competition.

True to that but it's easier to understand that entrepreneurship is just the same as having a business. I know that there's an actual difference on it but for the sake of not widening the discussion about it, let's both agree that there's no gender preference for one to start a business. Talents are for both men and women if it's about owning a business and being an entrepreneur. But the grind and tolerance of staying on one's commitment is where many do fall apart. At the start, it could be enticing and positive but it's not for everyone and many do realize it only at the end.

I don't think so that this could be a bias but not as always this happen. In some point men are way to make risk play than the woman. They are the one who are risk takers for example in decision making the man frequently don't have a plan if the first decision plays if it is what it is. But in the other hand the woman always want to.make sure they have a backup on decision making so they don't get too much damage on their side.
At the of this is still on the capability of the person itself if they manage to risk and willing to deal with it it's a win or fail of their investment it's all about the analysis and critical adoption with the changes of scenarios.
This base on my experience of related into this issue.

Lets me guess, entrepreneurship is indirect way to express breadwinner. The talk about the world need more new entrepreneur... look obvious to me, more breadwinners to this world. But why call it entrepreneurship instead? Because word is magic, by changing a new word, you can make a change, when the person look at breadwinner they reject the idea aggressively, when the person look at entrepreneurship they feel impressed by its terms and begin to think calmly, do you not see how word can magically make people to change their emotion??? But it is all come to how gullible a person would fall into this non sense btw, plenty of gullible guy too love the idea of impressive entrepreneurship.

entrepreneurship is for everyone who has a passion for business, which is different from everyone who wants to do business. That means, there is no discussion of gender, that's clear. and all of us can create a business, as long as we have determination, dedication and passion really. Because there are others when the business slows down, they stop immediately while others continue.

This study might have been done in one country but it can not predict entire woman class. There are countries where woman is more confident in her choices than the other countries. If we gonna pick the study from less blessed woman (or country) then it may happen she would end up having more failures. It could be her community, surrounding environment or people who aren’t much supportive. Now if we want to dig further then I am pretty sure we would end up segregating this topic to cultural aspects, religions, and faith that can again change the mindset of a woman.

Many things goes into it. In general same applies to male as well. It’s all about the opportunities, knowledge and surrounding treatment. It may not really about man and woman.
