Topic: Entrepreneurship and women - page 13. (Read 2579 times)

The term language that we often hear with "career women" but, if we see it happens a lot in developed and developing countries. for certain areas sometimes there are not many and things that are not yet familiar. The dominance is still to find income in providing for the family, you are men, not women.

It is good that the situation in the world is changing, and EQUALITY and equal opportunities are not words, but real actions.
Of course, the world is far from ideal, and there are still many countries where medieval attitudes reign, and where women are assigned their own niche, far from normal existence and recognition. Although I have always wondered how men elevate themselves above women, demeaning their status, having received life from their mothers !?? But it's a matter of upbringing (its absence), culture (its absence) and complexes
As practice has shown - in many areas women have an advantage, and men systematically lose. But development and civilization "equalizes" opportunities, and allows any person to realize his opportunities and desires, regardless of gender, skin color, religion and other features. And the attempt to segregate by any sign is a sign of underdevelopment of the community.
In a word - the less restrictions in self-realization and complexes - the more highly developed and cultural community, and vice versa.

That is really part of the culture, as we know that ever since people looked at women and saw them as weak compared to men, this was their view, but right now women are smarter. They always proved it wrong, like getting rich and proving that they are better than men. Right now, people are looking at women as equal to men because a lot of women can do the jobs that men can do, unlike before, when it was really prohibited to make women go to work as they only needed to be in the house.

In the realm of entrepreneurship, women are rewriting the rules and defying expectations, propelling themselves to unparalleled levels of triumph. By dismantling gender biases and embracing their entrepreneurial prowess, women entrepreneurs are leaving an indelible mark on the business landscape. With an unwavering determination, resilience, and unwavering vision, they are not just narrowing the gap but propelling themselves to new horizons of achievement and excellence. Get ready to witness the unstoppable rise of women in entrepreneurship, as they reshape industries, inspire generations, and conquer the world of business with unparalleled flair and finesse.

Yes, I do think there would be more women who would be willing to start their own businesses and try to nurture it to make it a success. The times are rapidly changing and fields once considered male dominated are seeing a slow but steady influx of females venturing into those fields and making it big also.
As we humans progress and advance over the years, so does our societal norms and values change to fit and align to the ever changing world.



Agreed, not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur as not everyone could start a business, persevere in the midst of already established businesses and come out still running.

There is no competition between male and female entrepreneurs and the mere thought of it is ridiculous. The stats the OP posted talked about the percentage of male entrepreneurs trying to start a business and the percentage of female entrepreneurs also trying to start a business and their rate of success.
The stats the OP put up tells me there is not much difference and if anything, female entrepreneurs are entering and growing fast in what many would consider to be a male dominated field.

Although there are a lot of implications around the topic exposed here, it is important to highlight that the invisible separatist gap that existed some time ago and divided the activities as prederminate for men and women assigning "gender roles" to them, has been dissipating more and more and in the same way this is quite good. However... unfortunately there are specific localities or geographic spaces where gender equality is still an arduous taboo. Beyond all this, it is also an important point to remember that men are more likely to seek to provide and women to be helpful, whether or not these are ingrained primitive instincts that, influenced by the social stigmas of, at the very least, the last century, will keep men as the predominant gender in business for some time to come. But even so, it is highly probable that women will at some point equal and perhaps, just perhaps, surpass them.

Yes, the opportunity is equally divided between men and women. As long as we have the ability and bravery, we can start a business or join any field we want, gender is really not too big of a problem. I don't see a problem when women are presidents, CEOs, or senior managers…as long as they always perform excellently at their assigned tasks, they are more deserving than men. But it is difficult to understand that in this world, there are still many places where there are still gender discrimination, and women are not respected as men.

Men are men and women are women. The country, government, cultures, policies and all those things.
The reason why the results is the way it is may be because of the country it was carried in.
Anyways, not everyone is cut out to be an entrepreneur. And I don't think there is  or should be a competition between male and female entrepreneurs. We should only find ways to fund women businesses and get them out there. Give them visibility.

I couldn't find the research that has such details as the link above, but according to this data the percentage of woman and man who become an entrepreneur compared to the whole population in 2019 is similar, 14.1% of woman is entrepreneur and 14% of Man is entrepreneur. I think it can only show that both man and woman has the same confidence level of becoming an entrepreneur.

Again that is the macro data, but from my experience at least in my region women are more likely to become an entrepreneur since it's easier for Man to get a formal job, to get employment while woman need to deals with a household, so it drive them to be entrepreneur where the can juggle between household and work.

Yes, with the development of the times, I think our mindset must also develop and there is no need to focus on gender,
both men and women each have the same opportunity in entrepreneurship,
business people are required to take risks but at the same time they also need to manage risks to minimize them.

women have the chance to excel in everything they do, just prove that they can do it and they will be acknowledged. sure, there will be hiccups along the way as most will try to find reasons to let them down. however, if you are resilient, you will take it as just hurdle in achieving success. if you will just give up because of what people are throwing at you, you will never achieve your targets.
success is for all, it is not gender specific. it depends on the person how he/she will overcome such bottlenecks.

Very few countries provide the security for the women. This is the reason why most countries lack women entrepreneurs. This needs to change and this can start from us. We should teach kids to have gender equality, we may say there is equality but in some corner we'll have atleast little dominance over them. Nothing offensive, I've seen most of the women entrepreneurs to be single mom's. Why is so, everything have got a reason. Already they could've suffered big within the family and now to face the people around her is not a big deal. The thought keeps her motivated and makes her successful.

The ability to succeed in terms of entrepreneurship is a right, and all kinds should have nothing to do with gender. So the rights of women and men are the same depending on their respective personalities and their level of intelligence in managing entrepreneurship so that it becomes successful.

Indeed, not a few Being a career woman is sometimes very hard for some people because they are often taken for granted so it makes it difficult for them to have a business career. But I've seen on YouTube that many women are now successful in entrepreneurship. So actually there is no need for women to feel that there is discrimination, they just have to adjust expectations with their abilities. What is clear is that women's rights are the same. Hopefully, in the future, there will be many more women who are successful in the field of entrepreneurship. If I'm honest, right now many women are already working in blockchain technology companies or are crypto investors. This means that in any case, gender differences don't exist anymore.

Not really shocking that there would really be always that gender inequality or having that criticisms when it comes to various things on which thinking up that women cant really be able to do such thing.
As of these years then we do know that there are corporations or companies which had been owned by a woman and this do proves out that on whatever things that a men could do, which a certain
other gender would really be able to do so. There's no limit on which one would really be able to touch up this space which as long you do know on what you are doing and you do know on how
you would really gonna handle yourself then you would really be having the high potential or chances for you to succeed on such industry.

These are mostly perception based but there being more women alone setting up a business probably shouldn't be too surprising if its also true that traditional business routes are unfairly biased towards men more often then not.   There will be a greater incentive to create your own opportunities if a more conventional route is cut off in your aspirations, I dont think any of those points mentioned will deny success only perhaps access to finance because that too can be based on perception.

Agree, entrepreneurship cannot be viewed based on gender, all are equal nowadays. Indeed, many people think that women can only spend money. We also often see women as lowly and weak and tend to be consumptive. In fact, behind it all the many advantages that women have compared to men. One of them, namely their ability in entrepreneurship, and this is proven in many countries, many entrepreneurship are successful if led by women.

I see Entrepreneurs are not a profession but a mindset. Discipline is key and there is no compromise, regardless of gender. What we can control is our effort. When doing something, don't be half-hearted, you have to be 100% and you have to know the priority. What all successful people have in common is a work ethic towards hard work. Every chance we get we give 100% of our abilities. Successful entrepreneurs have the same hobby, namely those who like to read. Enrich ourselves with lots of knowledge/information. If we read, we are 10-20% ahead of our competitors. Entrepreneurs must have a mindset. Mindset: resilient, never satisfied, honest, tenacious, trustworthy, never give up, and always think positively, optimistically, and constructively.

It seems that what you say is true, but I see more now that women are more successful as entrepreneurs and can manage their businesses more wisely. Conversely, many men who become leaders do not have a leadership attitude. Just selfish / looking for safety alone Or even too greedy and can't manage their employees properly.

That's a fascinating set of statistics and in reality I think it shows that there is very little difference between the sexes when it comes to business sense. Maybe it is telling that women say they are less confident in a pool, which aligns roughly with the rest of the stats - they are less likely to overestimate their abilities so will be less confident at the start. It's very interesting that more women are open to starting businesses alone, which to me signals that they should be showing a higher sense of confidence, perhaps because they are often involved in raising the family slightly more than men - they utilize opportunities, particularly now the internet has opened up so many avenues, during the early years.

I think, For today's greatest percentage opportunity and future success rate remains on the shoulders of a man. if anything, it is relative. The reason is because we know that women often have multiple responsibilities, such as taking care of the family and the household. this is, one of the challenges that can inhibit time and energy for women to be able to allocate time for business.

This is the same thing I ask whenever I see a seemingly sexist comment or suggestion in relation to business or entrepreneurship. What has sex got to do with business if the proper things are adhered to? Nothing. Except in countries where corners are cut to please the other sex or physical strength is demanded to cut through heavy duty, otherwise both male and female are equally endowed with the same brain capacity. In the real sense of it, I don't think it should be a competition of sexes. Rather, male and woman should compliment each other.

While I want to be optimistic and say that the hard times temper the best people in the industry. It's worth noting that the odds are stacked against women too. The fact alone that most of them couldn't get the pay grade they deserve let alone be given jobs above clerical work is insane and is something that I see is what causes these people to go unemployed before starting their own business. Plus you also have to take into account that women most of the time are given more house responsibilities than male, which leads them to lose their jobs cause between caring for the house, the husband and the kids, going to work and then starting your own business, they won't have a life to live anymore.

I hope the system changes to be more favorable to everyone who wishes to make a name for themselves but it's misogynistic and capitalistic you couldn't really fight your way through unless you exert every ounce of your strength and will power to your craft.
